New Statesman comps, advance notice
 

For various family reasons, my schedule is going to be a bit unusual between now and the end of the month. So for the next two Thursdays, the 22nd and 29th, I might not be johnny-on-the-spot with New Statesman comp results and news of the new comps.

I'll post the information in plenty of time so that nobody's in danger of missing any deadlines, but I might not get to in until later in the day than usual on Thursday. It's even possible that I won't come through for you until Friday. Please don't worry that anything has gone screwy at the magazine.

By which I suppose you mean "no more than usual".
