What’s Going On?

Quiet on CBO isn’t it?
I’ve two interviews that I’m still waiting to receive the answers to.  That takes my CBO commitment to an end once published.  I’m fed up chasing after people who,if I don’t,then write me emails saying “why won’t you report our news” or “why won’t you review our books”.   I don’t get […]

Alternative Press Festival London

Not heard much from Jimi Gherkin recently so haven’t that much to report on.  I can say that,although I was thinking of going up on the Sunday a long boring solitary trip by train puts me off.

Mild Mild West No More

Okay. First and final word on CBO about Banksy.
I’m not impressed by a lot of what he does.  He is,after all,doing what kids are taught in infant school -stencilling.  As to the money he’s earning;so long as he doesn’t claim to be “fighting the filthy system from within” why not?  If he can earn money […]

say it is a treat.
I mentioned that the first issue left me very surprised
because I had not expected such high quality printing -I think
I assumed,for some […]
