Stuff related to the book I'm working on - the history of Private Eye, to be published for the magazine's 50th anniversary in 2011 - will now be appearing over here, in the hope that people will contribute interesting ideas, memories and suggestions.
It includes the first appearance of our glorious leader, profiled in the "New Boys" column in HP Sauce in May 1984.
Other stuff - including occasional bits and pieces I've written myself for the Eye, unless I think they're particularly "historic", will still turn up here.
Why not check both blogs regularly? It's safer than leaving the house.
You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go.

About Me
- Adam Macqueen
- I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

That was a frighteningly prescient trip down memory lane.
