L&L No.52. Lord Biscuits Volvo 245 is gone. 2014
Lord Biscuit, fabled Bones drummer
lovingly restored car had been nicked.
This is the story of how he got it back;
an adventure, a modern myth,
a harangue against the thieving bastards who
“leave us in daily fear of losing all our precious things”
The book is printed entirely by hand
using large six inch play foam cuts,
using large six inch play foam cuts,
similar to big rubber stamps,
in white and red ink on black paper.
It was a labour of love to match Lord Biscuit's
in restoring his car to its former glory.

I was strangely disheartened after this but then magically,
I found a book -Miguel Street by VS Naipul -

Each chapter in the book is a story about a separate character
in the authors Miguel Street home, written in
Port of Spain Trinidad during WW2. Naipul came from humble
beginnings and eventually won

beginnings and eventually won
the Nobel prize for literature and lives in nearby Stockwell!
I took this as a sign that what I was doing,
the observational, semi documentary nature of it,
was worthwhile, despite the burglary and other discouragements,
like my shrinking list of subscribers…
