.....£9.99 a copy. Are they mad?

Well they've turned it into a Granta book style thing rather than the magazine of its first incarnation.

The website used to have some funny stuff, Jonnie's a fan if I remember rightly.

The current issue has some good stuff in it. 25 hours round the M25 with the KLFs roadie, for one.

'Crap towns' - good Lord, that bit about Dagenham is spot on. Me and LC keep the doors locked and the windows up everytime we drive through there.

Back FROM Essex, you cheeky monkey.

I pick a copy up from time to time. I liked the magazine version better. It's always worth a read tho'

nine years pass...

Revive! Recent years' hardback editions have been MAGIC!

I enjoy reading them because of the format of the book, the content of the essays, the feeling that I'm reading something slightly whimsical but meaningful written by people in the public eye but not on a subject on which they usually hold forth. *And breathe*

Any thoughts?

Good articles are great but thin on the ground in the ishes i've read. Idling is very dear to my heart but there's a lot of Trustafarianesque bollocks in there and some inexplicably thin stuff too, considering how infrequently the thing comes out. unless that's a meta joke
