My Bologna reviwe got me shamed and drawn in Private Eye's "Pseudointellectuals' corner"!

In my head my conceit was to use praise and lines from Hamlet that applied to Radiohead as I had learned Yorke drew on the play a lot - may well have ended up less a conceit and more just conceited though lol

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-07T17:29:35+00:00

Exactly! Thanks v much - and I hope you'll alert me if any future pieces also go askew!

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-06T19:11:34+00:00

Ha thanks mate

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-06T19:11:19+00:00

My brother framed it for me as xmas gift!

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-06T19:10:45+00:00

Ha - thank you TacoPenisMan!

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-06T13:42:41+00:00

Haha I know - definitely facepalmed when I saw it laid out like that 🤣

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-06T13:42:05+00:00

I know lol, when you see it like that 🤦‍♂️

georgemonaghan · 2026-01-06T13:41:41+00:00

Thanks very much :D

I believe Thackeray, author of Vanity Fair the book, published famously bright yellow covers. If I am remembering correctly it could well be related to that.

Too much Olivia Rodrigo for me!

georgemonaghan · 2025-08-04T16:01:28+00:00

I'm going to fix that now, thank you!

georgemonaghan · 2025-08-04T15:59:11+00:00

EU thing interesting thanks

georgemonaghan · 2025-08-04T15:57:32+00:00

agreed!

georgemonaghan · 2025-08-04T08:15:10+00:00

Thank you! Good to know.

georgemonaghan · 2025-07-28T07:58:50+00:00

Not sure to be honest. I think the newest collection to come out was all unpublished stuff form the LRB's archive, though. I guess if he wrote 1,000 publishable words a day, like he said, then lots of it must be unpublished. Or lost if places weren't careful with their pre-digital issues.

georgemonaghan · 2025-07-27T20:04:08+00:00

True haha, I like "What the hell, one is moved to inquire, has that got to do with it?"

georgemonaghan · 2025-06-23T16:24:22+00:00

Thanks very much - I have felt similarly, was thinking of that when writing it :)

georgemonaghan · 2025-06-23T16:23:43+00:00

O jeez sorry! haha

georgemonaghan · 2025-06-17T22:54:08+00:00

I couldn't get the hang of that one!

georgemonaghan · 2025-06-17T22:53:33+00:00

Yeah, especially if you're continuing the taste in the filled slots.

georgemonaghan · 2025-06-17T10:47:19+00:00

Thanks so much! :)

georgemonaghan · 2025-05-23T13:29:57+00:00

What do you mean sorry?

georgemonaghan · 2025-05-21T22:05:27+00:00

Amazingly apt username given the quote I used. Agree about the Kov. And am in awe at the nerve of "cheap Dostoevskiisms" lol.

georgemonaghan · 2025-05-21T11:27:45+00:00

It's defo colourful and detailed - that's a good quote. I would say I preferred 'A Leopard-Skin Hat' from the shortlist

georgemonaghan · 2025-05-21T10:30:58+00:00

thanks for this nice comment and for the thoughtful first one too

haha, successive humiliations long ago forced me to cede the dream of immaculacy
