Mark "Mark Piggott week" at Outside Left

Much in the manner of Turkmenistan ex-president Saparmurat Niyazov’s humble decision to re-name January after himself, I’m delighted to confirm the period 29 March – 4 April is henceforth to be known as “Mark Piggott week."

Although obviously a trifle put out that uber-trendy LA-based webzine “Outside Left” have so far only seen fit to devote just two per cent of the annual calendar to me, which seems stingy, it’s only a matter of time before the entire Easter period is named after my good self. I am the resurrection and I am the light. I couldn’t ever bring myself to hate you as I like... (Nur-nur, nur-nur, sound of ambulance approaching)
