New howies Catalogue is Here!

The new howies catalogue landed on my doormat yesterday. It's always good when this colourful little book arrives, four times a year.

howies are a clothing company, but the catalogue is more than just a selection of pretty people in good clothes. Interspersed between the jeans, T-shirts and hoodies are a collection of essays, thoughts, letters and stunning photos. Lots of stuff to make you think and make you smile.

It's always worth a read. Their blog's good, too.

Semicolons

"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."

Kurt Vonnegut, (1922 - )

Kurt Vonnegut is a wise man. I read one of his books a while ago, but I'd like to make the time for more of his words.

Books Stink

Christmas shopping in a busy Brighton bookshop on the 23rd December.

A harassed-looking teenage girl walks in, followed by two restless young boys.

One of the boys exclaims "Cor, it stinks in 'ere!"

His elder sister explains: "Course it does - it's a bookshop."

"Where's Kiefer?"
