Every morning I wait for the bus for the daily commute into the city, where a cheerful Scottish lady always says hello. She's a working Mom, so we get to talking about kids, and soccer matches, and surburban life.

She also happens to be one of the team behind Shock magazine, who this month are featuring some sensitive photos of dogs being beaten to death, plus a charming pictorial of a man who had his arm attached to his penis.

I think my town is the kind that David Lynch often features in his movies.
