There's a distinct lack of etiquette guidance these days. What with the children spitting on the elderly and eating crisps on the trolley cars. And whatever happened to "Men - always carry around a packet of cigarettes when in female company - even if you don't smoke". Thankfully there are two girls who acknowledge the importance of good behaviour.

The Meat Eaters merchandise
Me: Trevor Flinn plays the drums in his fictional punk band, The Meat Eaters - the highs and lows of their career are charted in the exhibition The Puma, The Stranger & The Mountain at Platform
You: Why are you telling me this?
Me: Well you're in the GOODS section - I'm trying to pique your interest in official Meat Eater merch - band t-shirts and fold-it-yourself sets of sheep skulls, Meat Eaters tour buses and half bricks - available at Sticky until stocks run out.
Absence
(Think friendly Japanese expat bower bird bookmaker, stuffed in a capsule hotel.)
People-person Hiromi Tango has holed herself up into that little space no larger than a late model Ford Festiva at Platform (where the old guy with second-hand books lived and died) and is living out her art project Absence.
