Part 2 of N shameless plugs for our websites :

chintzbaby.com - you can listen to the tunes with this, with links to Bandcamp et al.

Part 1 of N shameless promotions of our websites -

andycragg.com - pretentious, moi?

(jack of all, etc)

Typo - I often misspell this.

Insider dealing!

"Alleluia Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas you get you deserve"

Ditto pantomimes.

A grid of nine images. Prints, a phone case, a T-shirt, a cushion and Christmas cards and wrap.

Right then. It's mid-November and if you're thinking about #Christmas shopping, now's the time. All my products are designed here in Manchester and made in the UK.

You know what to do ...

This is the best thing I've seen on the internet for a very long time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=REPP...

I have two pies in the fridge, so I went out to buy vegetables to go with- £2.50!

Those will keep me healthy for this week (pie, pie, corned beef, nothing, nothing, nothing).

Bit dull though. But healthy!

Car sold, to a lovely fellow.

Now to find another, cheaper one.

Perhaps a very old Jaguar?

You're alright.

I know I have a big yellow sponge somewhere (don't we all?), but where is it?

Roll up, roll up get yer writing here!
Annoyingly nice website too.

Perfect for me right now.

She really liked the actor playing O'Reilly and didn't want to hurt him much with that umbrella - if you look closely, you'll see that the umbrella is substantially padded ...

Butterscotch, obvs.

... probably without the swear box.

Good god, yes. I'm fairly obviously a web designer, and yet they persist in emailing me about updating my websites.

They all tend to look the same - plain text, no pictures, Gmail addresses etc - not a professional look at all.

Apparently, it's all about "engagement" - urgh indeed. Reply to some posts, follow more people, etc, etc.

Incidentally, yesterday I sat and listened to a lot of your posted videos - looks like you have similar tastes in music to me, which is nice, so keep posting!
