Published: 1st October 2024

Simon Fox is a small-town reporter with big ideas. He loves his job on an old-fashioned weekly newspaper at the heart of its community in the dying days of hot metal and smoky newsrooms, with stories bashed out on typewriters before the age of the net. 

Beginning in the scorching summer of 1976, Manfishing is a saga of love, tragedy and intrigue set in the Midlands town of Brexham. Fox grapples with the role of makeshift dad while portraying some of the town’s colourful characters… A disabled pensioner is being driven from his home to make way for a new road. A maverick councillor takes revenge on the comrades who betrayed him. And an Auschwitz survivor pleads for help to save her sick granddaughter.

But the journalist knows nothing of the sinister alliance between a bent cop and a violent skinhead – or of the role played by a pack of mince. A takeover leaves him fearing for the future of his beloved ‘local rag’.

Then a joyful new chapter in his life begins.

About the Author: Pete Pheasant worked for 47 years in regional journalism, finishing as night editor of the Nottingham Post. He was twice runner-up in the UK Press Gazette Regional Columnist of the Year Awards.

Top of the line, best pillows Ive ever had
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are top of the line! I bought them in 2024 and they are still fluffy. When they lose a little fluff, you just punch em around a little bit and voila, like new again. They have kept their shape cery well and do great for cooling. I haven't had to add more filling yet either. I just laid my head on one and thought, I need to do a review cause everytime i lay on these pillows its like clouds. My head is heavy and this is relief :-D

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!
