So it was probably a dirty trick to play..
I am Big D. I collect stuff. It's what I do. I have shelf upon shelf of DVDs, books, CDs...
And magazines.
I never throw them away. There's this voice at the back of my head that keeps telling me "Remember that piece in Fortean Times about the Dyatlov Incident? You might want to read that again. And you never know when you might want to revisit a gig review from 1999"
Give me another 10 years or so in the same place and I'll be one of these crazy mole-men that live entirely in the tunnels bored out of piled-up newspapers.
Anyway, a few years back I had to move home and my dad & brother came down to help. After a hard day's graft from all concerned the last of the furniture had been lugged over, the last box of books stuffed precariously into the new kitchen and the moment had come to down tools and go find some beers.
And then I said "Oops. Almost forgot. And opened up the cupboard in the living room.
Dad and Little Bro contemplated the man-high stack of Classic Rock and Fortean Times and Powerplay and SFX and...a metric fuckton of others.
Dad's shoulders slumped in weariness and despair. A little vein began pulsing in Little Bro's forehead. He gently pushed the cupboard shut and said, softly, ever so calmly, "I need a kebab and some beer. We'll sort this shit out in the morning."
And he walked away.
I don't think he''ll help me next time I move.

It's ok
I've got 10 years worth of Fortean Times if you need it!
