Once again, Sam Easterbrook is the only person coming with the low, low star ratings this month. if you’ve never met him, imagine the critic in that episode of Malcolm In The Middle who gives everything a bad review, until Francis kicks his head in

The Iris Prize is back for another year! We are so excited we’ve written about it a month before it actually starts, but until then brace yourself for the pastry rollercoaster of Barry’s Bespoke Bakery, among other revealing shorts. Plus Welsh National Opera, the Elvies and Festival Number 6

Before my eagle eye sprouted legs and stepped in, Keiron Self had spelled Niki Lauda’s first name ‘Nikki’. If that had remained I could never again have looked my friend James – who recently produced a radio documentary, Hunt/Lauda, which is probably far better than the movie on the same theme reviewed here, Rush – in the legless eye

My housemate’s cat has been missing since Sun 18 Aug. He is called Mew, is black and white with green eyes, and about two years old. If you are in the Cardiff district of Canton please look out for him
Think the photos on the clubs page might have scaled a new peak of uniformity this month. Can’t one of you bastards have a press pic that’s an outline of your face made out of drugs or something?

Q. What is the term used for a group of pigs? A. Men, amirite? [looks towards you desperately seeking your approval]
