Beating My Head Against The Wall
Because…I don’t know what else to do with myself. I saw this sketch on Instagram of Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill and I thought it looked really lovely. I love that the artist got Mr Kerr in the, what I like to call, the “hairdresser’s bib” – this odd black scarf/kerchief thing he wore in…

Great Leap Forward – The Reason Behind The Tale Of “Embrace The Suck”

I would like to hope that in the current climate that Sir Kerr is FAR FROM suggesting anyone that has suffered adversely from this current pandemic should just…”embrace the suck”. I’d like to believe he has far…
