There are so many great new books coming out that I'm struggling to find space for them all. If each of you could buy, like 4 or 5 things from our shelves, that would be great! - Michael 😆

I have given @allgoodbookshop.co.uk £150 so they can give a bunch of you free books, and I have paid for shipping as well. Just message them on here or email control@allgoodbookshop.co.uk to order one of these four books for free.

We really don't want to do this, but it's been a bad summer and we need help. Footfall has been down and many of our customers are away. This has meant a reduction of weekly income by £500- £600. It may not be the biggest amount but it is a lot to us.

We've always had good months and bad months, but this is the furthest we've been from paying our basic rent and bills. Anything you can spare right now would really help us with some breathing space while we try and turn things around. gofund.me/4e08a72e4

Linda was a lovely lady, and actually had a very nice singing voice. She came to my mum for a few singing lessons, and she invited mum to a garden party. Mum did not take me, as I was an embarrassment at the time.

My favourite bookshop, @allgoodbookshop.co.uk , is struggling. There are 3 very clear ways to help them 1) Buy books and go to events allgoodbookshop.co.uk/order-items 2) Buy shares, and own your own bookshop. allgoodbookshop.co.uk/support-us 3) Donate to their GoFundMe gofund.me/3c299facb

Thought I'd cheat and do a reverse image search. It suggests Edward Fox. Only one thing wrong with that. It looks nothing like Edward Fox.

I remember a stat from my Ottakars days, about why people stop going to bookshops, and dying was above bad customer service and below moving away. I can't remember what was top of the list, though.

The one good thing about the new version of the Odyssey (I haven't seen it yet) is that it has reminded me of Ulysses 31... Which - as it came out in 1981, when I was nineteen - I have just realised I was too old to watch... Nevermind, I still loved it.

Scam call this morning. Him "Hello, Mr Large. I'm *** from BT..." Me "Sorry, what name do you have?" Him "Mr Large?" Me "I'm a little overweight, but I think you've got the wrong name" Him "That doesn't matter..." ME "Really?" hang up. What should I have said? Oh, and it's my birthday today...

Apropos of nothing in particular. I reckon £5million should be ample to afford enough cosmetic/reconstructive/aesthetic surgery to stop someone looking like a toad faced twat.
