Why I'm hiding from LinkedIn I'm starting again (again) and I need to own it.

Two men who are ten years older with tattoos of the brown sign symbol for a pier. One has it on his arm and is bending uncomfortably close to the backside of the other who has it on the back of his leg.

Nearly 10 years since Pier Review was published. (You can still buy it amzn.to/40NmadU).

As we drove round all 55 of England and Wales’s bloody pleasure piers in 10’days @probablydrunk.bsky.social and i often talked of getting marching pier tattoos. Last week we did.
