Hack Or Pizza? Investigative journalism gone mad…
Tomorrow at 4pm I am visiting an alternative health emporium in south London (for the benefit of a certain free newspaper) to sample the delights of Chinese cupping.
Rather than wear out my fingers on the keyboard attempting to explain to you the consequences of this most mystic and ancient of arts, I think in this instance a picture paints a thousand words.
Honestly. The things I do to keep a roof over my head.
Mind you, despite looking like an American Hot for the best part of a week, I’m actually very much looking forward to trying this out. After all it’s not often one gets paid to be detoxed.
The only blot on my relaxation landscape is a rather fetching backless maxi dress I had planned on wearing to a wedding the weekend after next. The bastard marks had better fade, otherwise it’s going to take a trowel-load of body make up and/or an Outfit Plan B to rectify the mess.
Certainly the bride won’t thank me for stealing her thunder with the ‘beaten by a salami’ look.

Bloody hell. Good luck, that’s all I will say. Good bloody luck!

Ooh! I’ve had this done! It depends on how easily you bruise and how well any mark disappears from your skin. My skin is easily marked, and it took several days for the marks to fade. But it was worth it.

I did a quick vox pop last night in the pub and apparently this shit is great. Apparently the marks are worse in areas of tension. So, watch this space…

If I were you I’d be telling everyone I’d just fought off a giant squid. Using a grizzled sea captain voice.
Show up with a hunting knife between your teeth.

Oooh, I like that suggestion. I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ll try it out on The German first.

What the mother fuck is that? Did it work? Jesus Christ woman and etc.
Nice to have you back, btw. Yeah, i know I’m late…

Stu! Where have you been? I’ve been reading Hecklerspray and you’ve been off galavanting some such place. Nice to have you back too.

Galavanting to the world of late night Channel 4 comedy shows that everyone on the internet seems to hate, actually. I’ll be back soon.
Could be worse, though - my back could be covered in giant lovebites… which paper is it in?

It’ll be in thelondonpaper next week sometime. My ID will be revealed…
Channel 4 sounds very exciting and important, well done.
