It turned out to be incredibly detailed unknown maps of the UK, drawn up by Soviet mapmakers. He tells Wanstead’s favourite psychogeographer John Rogers @thelostbyway.bsky.social about his find on Tuesday night at the @wansteadfringe.bsky.social 133

Giles Wilson @gillis49.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Not even a press release - it’s a lift from a Sunday Telegraph article. There are many opportunities for scepticism in the first three pars. 010
Giles Wilson @gillis49.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Westfield Stratford, Saturday 11.15am. This is all the newspapers on sale at “TGJones”. I wonder why they decided to buy WHSmith if they weren’t interested in selling *newspapers*… 110

Giles Wilson @gillis49.bsky.social · 24/07/2026And another thing. The new IPL-Hundred team logos are a complete fail. Absolutely impossible to distinguish what they are. 100

Giles Wilson @gillis49.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Things that are better about the new #thehundred 1. The TV graphics now match the colour of the team strip 2. Literally nothing else. It’s now an incoherent mess. Add it to the list of things the ECB has cocked up. 031
