Extremely readable.

Reasonably readable.

LOLLES incoming.

Quite readable. (Published in 2001 – before everything came out about him, umm, not being “a great guy”. At least he hung out with a lot of really, truly great guys. Oh…)

Highly readable.

Why Labour's Proposals to Ban Ticket Touting don't go far Enough | The Quietus Who will spare a thought for StubHub and Viagogo? They are two of the heavyweights of secondary ticketing, with the latter having bought the former in 2019 to gain an even bigger share of the market. ...

But he always seemed *so nice* and *very tolerant*. 😐

IDEA: Lime lets pedestrians hire baseball bats to smash up the bikes of “cyclists” who jump red lights, barrel through zebra crossings, ride on the pavement etc.

Jesus wept. The NME doesn’t even know its own history. (Suede appeared on the cover of Melody Maker before they’d released a record.)

Very readable.

He remains our greatest Pop Wally. Long may his low-blood-sugar punk posturing continue.
