They are all pieces we wouldn’t find elsewhere because you have your own voice. The question about whether they could be published elsewhere is partly down to the policy of publishers out there and partly down to your choice of quirky topics.

I’d guess that some 50% couldn’t possibly be published elsewhere due to their quirk-quotient, 35%-40% of the pieces could have been placed elsewhere but the piece would have had the charm edited out of it, while only 10%-15% could conceivably have been placed more or less “as is” if you tried hard enough to place stuff.

In reply to Robb. We've written a lot above about pieces that could or couldn't have been published elsewhere.

For the price of one beer in my downtown per month, I moderately raise the chance of another feature as glorious as “Danish Kaneria or Dane Vilas – Who is Most Danish?” and frankly I think I’m saving money.

“Not every feature will work for everyone. Sometimes you may feel like we’ve travelled further down a road you never wanted to turn down in the first place. Hopefully that’s offset by the articles you do like though.”

Spot on. Almost exclusively good stuff, KC, do keep going!

Meanwhile, in other news, it’s great to see reports on that evergreen youthful right arm fast-medium bowler Anderson taking a fivefer in a winning cause for England today. No, not Jimmy. Ellie:
