Brass band flash mob (ish) - the video

It’s a Sunday morning and I am planning recording the next episode of TableRappers when joy of joys, the next door neighbour begins his DIY tapping, filing, and drilling. “Oh great,” I exclaim, “I hope he doesn’t keep that up for long.”

We can only have so much Americana

We can have their donuts, their missiles, and their fast-food fed wobble-bottoms, but we will never have their mailboxes.
The most disappointing aspect of this slice of Americana which will always be out of our reach in the UK, is the imagination - if not necessarily the required creative and practical skills to do a decent [...]
