It’s just had its 50th rating on Amazon: 88% of ratings four or five stars.

And it’s Mother’s Day this Sunday… a perfect gift if your mum loves pop of any kind.

Ah, the mental self-congratulation that follows the realisation that, with not inconsiderable effort, one managed to do something vaguely normally.

Followed by the realisation that the previous realisation renders both itself, and the accompanying self-congratulation, null and void.

I get a weird mixture of feelings when I am reminded that Mother’s Day is coming up:
- instinctive β€œoh shit, must get card and present”
- relief at remembering I don’t have to
- guilt at relief
- missing my mum
- ”oh shit, I have a child who is not old enough to deal independently with Mother’s Dayβ€œ

I can’t get my head around the idea of really giving a shit about what happens to whatever’s left of one’s body after it’s been harvested for usable parts.

(That said, imagine the embarrassment of being the relative of someone whose remains caused a fatberg.)

Still 99p on Kindle at the moment, and still in its Music Top 10. It's also available as a hardback (a perfect gift for yourself or others), and for those who've been asking - and some have - it's going to be published in the US in July. #IntoTheGroove

So, are you voting Hancock’s Half Hour or Steptoe and Son? Is there a risk of splitting the anti-Comedy Playhouse vote?
