THE INDEPENDENT ARCHIVE OF QUESTIONABLE DECISIONSADULT HUMOUR · 18+

NOT EVERY LEGACY SHOULD BE PRESERVED. WE’RE DOING IT ANYWAY.

THE YEAR’S WORST IDEAS.
IN ONE VERY GOOD BOOK.

D!@K PIC DIARIES — THE ANNUAL

An annual review of what Britain has apparently been sending each other after 11pm. The stories. The statistics. The city rivalries. The messages that should have stayed in drafts.

We’re collecting the year’s best anonymised contributions for a future digital and printed Annual. There is no release date or pre-order yet. The archive comes first.

That was, in fact, the entire point of leaving.

Audacity Awards
You can’t put a price on this personality.
Liverpool · Editorial fiction

He asked to split the bill. Then invoiced me for “banter”.
