Ten years next month since Billy Franks died. And to think we now have a Faith Brothers fan as Prime Minister.

Love this promo image for the forthcoming Venice Noir. Marisa and I look like two mismatched detectives forced to work together to take down a supernatural foe.

Start the week with a jobbie on a mantelpiece. It can only get better from there. Quite Ugly One Morning is 99p today.

Love the fact that in most places back then, rumours of a vampire in the neighbourhood would have had the local kids hiding in their bedrooms, while in the Gorbals, they were like: "Let's get tooled up and leather the cunt."

Equal parts entertaining and frustrating to hear Guy and Alan try to describe shithousery without being able to say shithousery.
