Pixies tickets? You have 60 seconds, from a standing start, to get your order in.

The most clicked through item is Another Education and Ruby Red, my own print-on-demand tome, which has generated one order. You can get it direct as an Acrobat file for pennies if you want to assess the literary merit before doling out too much cash.

Third- Northern Soul Memories Vol. 1, which I haven’t listened to in ages. Must dig it out.
Fourth- Hello Rockview/ Losing Streak by Less Than Jake.
Fifth- Dead Ringer by Meatloaf

Anyway, another miracle diet from America.
The Pegasus glider attack secured two important bridges on D-Day and held up German reinforcements. The squad that did the attack was nearly under-manned after several were arrested whilst out on the piss.
