About a year ago I overheard a startled drunk on a paddle board off the beach in Sheringham yelping that he’d found “a bloody tiger’s head”. This is a story of superstition and horror based on that. onehugepeachy.wordpress.com/2026/06/05/t...

In the summer of 2025 a dozen or so incidents were reported to the Coastguard of a tiger’s head seen beneath the shallow waves at low tide, reports spanning the North Norfolk coastline between Weyb…

“Super-low” www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
A paragraph from a shite Guardian article about water sommeliers, referencing the “godfather of water” - an original 90s tech guy who lost out in the first dotcom bust.Two panels from a Foodie Bollocks strip in Viz, noting the absurdity of certain trends towards a purported “authenticity of experience” within food culture and the crazy privilege of those with money enough to foster.

TonyInterruptor by Nicola Barker review – satire that sees right through you
This brilliantly over-the-top comedy about an unworldly heckler explores art and authenticity – being tripped up by it is part of the fun

Should it be of of any interest I wrote a story about the Saturnalia celebrations in a 21st century E. Anglian township and put it here for reading. This is from a collection of narratives from the villages and townships of the Fenlands and Broadlands. onehugepeachy.wordpress.com/2025/07/11/l...

lords of misrule
The geographical isolation of the Fenlands and Broadlands, the dearth of transportation and other such networks, lent itself to a freedom of thought so often absent in this our country’s more popul…

Starmer you cunt - *you*, yes *you*, wimp, are in fact “inappropriate” and “appalling” and such an incredible disappointment it’s breathtaking. *YOU*, you soulless mediocrity. So “fuck” - to paraphrase a chant - “you”. You’ve failed all of us, every one of us, and do so more every fucking day.

What might our forebears have meant by this curious assembly? We may never know.
A trio of rocks found in Swaledale, themselves displayed on a larger rock in the classic “cock and balls” style.

It’s a big day, a happy day.
A heartwarming anniversary email reminder from MBNA pertaining to the first birthday of a loan, eliciting a rush of emotions comparable to that of a parent watching their children grow up.

Time to start on the painful and dispiriting process of submitting the new book for rejection. Always a real buzz.

At last around to reading @markabowles.bsky.social All My Precious Madness via @galleybeggars.bsky.social and it’s fucking great. Feel an intense affinity to the protagonist, for good or ill. Guy’s quite right about coffee, about the awe in everywhichwhere.

In fact the book of the township spoke of tolerance and of love and of the wonder of living life in terms distinctly utopian, of patience, of kindness, and acceptance, and it was for these reasons that it had been left to rot within the recesses of the civic buildings.

A grotesque picture of grotesque oaf Donald Trump, captioned with the text “I’m a cunt and so are you”.
