We found some copies of 101 Things Birmingham Gave The World at the back of a cupboard full of Ozzy the Bull baubles and Roy Wood Christmas wigs.
We are posting paperbacks for £7, or treat yourself and add an ebook for an extra £3.

I too would be saying stuff like this, if my status and career depended on people not ever saying openly that I had been deeply complicit in an avoidable calamity with a five figure bodycount

I gave Mani a kiss and cuddle at a Morrissey gig at Old Trafford in 2004. I hope it wasn’t fatal.

Oatcakes are not being banned in the EU or in GB.
There's a level of mold and mycotoxins that render cereal unfit for human consumption. The UK lowered it's protections in that regard, the EU has not. If you wish to sell into a another market then your goods need to meet its minimum standards.

Oatcakes could be banned under Keir Starmer’s reset deal with European Union in repeat of ‘sausage wars’
Ministers are fighting to save the British oatcake as part of the Prime Minister's reset with the European Union. In similar scenes to the Brexit "sausage wars", the Government is battling to get an exemption on British oats from Brussels' strict food safety rules. The regulations came into effect after Britain left the EU in 2020. However, it would be reinstated in the country under the Prime Minister's plans to restore European agricultural standards.

I hate portmanteau words but “slopaganda” is magnificent
Gone down a weird rabbithole with far-right Facebook slopaganda* about celebrities cancelling things as a result of the New York election result.
*I just invented this word: AI-generated disinformation content pumped onto social media by right-wing think tanks, and "slopaganda" was right there.

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy
