City of Angels

The Angel pub here in Leeds sold me beer not to make me feel queer, but for the price of £1.42 for a pint of well-kept Sam Smith's Old Brewery. Guaranteed to floor a southerner.


Leeds is full of angels and they all avoid the church.

If every angel's terrible, how come we've got Coco Rosie? Even though they display a veno,mous disdain for the honest and humble web designer. All the more so since Flash became the Betamax of the triple-double yer. OK - it hasn't happened yet, but sites like Coco Rosie's are a good illustration of the pitfalls of Flash. Any aspiring Flash developers might do well to contact them.

Going up dem montages

Came across some old photomontage from Italy, Germany, and Russia in the Estorick Gallery. Mr Estorick had a great talent for spending money on art. He filled his car up in Italy. With paintings not gas, you silly billy!

There are some superb exhibits, but this one wasn't quite finished. It is now.

I have nothing to say about silence
