Never not going to be excited at seeing my books in an actual honest to goodness bookshop. #RomanFortThursday

Book on a black shelf. Cover image is a grassy landscape of a rocky promontory stretching to the horizon with a stone wall snaking up it to the right. The sky above is dramatic grey clouds. In the foreground to the right is superimposed a stone statue of a seated man wearing draped robes. The book title Roman Life on Hadrian's Wall and author's name Claire Millington are prominent.

I'm happy to add some personal perspective to this - I waited for 2 and a half years for my liver transplant. It was a living nightmare. Organ donation is a gift worth giving!

Do go to the NHS App and make sure you’ve got your organ donation wishes correctly registered. There’s been a sharp decline in donors (is it part of the general trend of health fuckwittery?) so please update both the NHS and your family. www.organdonation.nhs.uk/news/nhs-ann...

Take 2 minutes to check and confirm your organ donation decision

There is no middle ground with the kind of people who attack the RNLI. We don’t need to ‘listen’ to them. We need to tell them where to go.

I would like to amputate 10% of Jared Kushner. If he wanted to concede those bits of his anatomy, then we could have a deal tomorrow. But right now he does not want to do that.

The courage of those who set out to save those at risk of drowning can never be overestimated. Each rescue is a challenge. I used to watch the Orkney lifeboat head out into rough seas with my heart in my mouth. Remarkable bravery. Donate to the #RNLI here: shop.rnli.org/products/don...

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

I know other people have much worse lives than me. In the last 5 months I have moved my 90 year old parents from a house to a flat. My dad died, and I had to find a care home for my mum. I've sold the house and cleared their belongings from the flat and house. I'm feeling the worse for wear.

1 woman is murdered, by a man, every 3 days in Britain. 350,000 women and girls are raped every year in Britain. 1 million women and girls are sexually assaulted every year in Britain. Yet some people pretend to be worried about migrants from ‘cultures’ with bad attitudes towards women.

I'm very much looking forward to Harry Sussex coming to town. After dealing with my elderly parents house move in mid March, my dad's subsequent death, finding mum a great care home and clearing a house and half a flat, finally something I don't have to give a single shit about.

Boris Johnson was made Foreign Secretary in 2016, after failing a security vetting and being denied sensitive Government information during his time as a Minister. The media didn't care then, they don't care now, and it wasn't the reason why Theresa May resigned. The media are hypocrites.
