John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Obviously looking to see if they've got a copy of The Wolf That Chews Rocks by @russincheshire.bsky.social 020
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Don't undersell yourself. Writing that is genuinely funny across a range of genre - thrillers, politics, dogs and science - is genuinely great. 021

The dachshund, an animal whose fundamental disagreement with the world is visible from space. It's legs are not visible from the sofa. Out now. www.amazon.co.uk/Wolf-That-Ch... 47815
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 14/09/2026To celebrate the cracking victory over Ricay, and to compensate for the awful miscalculation of the canine contingent in the crowd, can I recommend Russ Jones' new book The Wolf That Chews Rocks as some end of summer reading. Informative and hilarious. How many dogs? Lots of dogs! 010

John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 13/09/2026In the spirit of the thread can I say that I don't believe you? And if it does exist it wasn’t named after anyone called Orped - who was either brave or bare-chested or both. 111
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Talking of savouring the Tapestry has any mentioned yet that it contains possibly the first image of a shish kebab in European art? 000
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Pratts Bottom is also a place. I have to confess I only know this from having seen a road sign, not the actual place. 110
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Nor me, which is really irritating when I'd really like to give it a 5* review. Oh, well! Prospective readers will just have to wait til publication day (next Monday, I believe) to find out just how brilliant I said it was. The Wolf that Chews Rocks - buy it, read it, enjoy it! 093
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 05/09/2026As someone who has proofread this book I can honestly say that it is hugely entertaining, incredibly funny and extremely educational. Buy it and, whether you're dog friendly or not, you'll love it. 062
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 26/08/2026A very fine book it is too. Recommended reading for anyone owned by a dog, anyone thinking of being a dog's best friend or, even, just anyone who can read. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn stuff. Oh, and it's got great illustrations! 072
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 22/08/2026On a school trip to Scotland maaaany years ago this was the only cassette the coach driver had. I was the only student on the trip who liked it. At the end of the trip the driver gave it to me. I've still got it! 020
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Just completed @russincheshire.bsky.social soon to be published new book The Wolf That Chews Rocks. Utterly hilarious, extremely educational (in a good way) and definitely worth buying at least three copies - you'll want to share it! 000
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Opened it yesterday. Half way through it. Actually crying with laughter twice this morning. Aiming to incorporate "biology, archaeology, psychology, evolutionary theory, and an alarming amount of fox excrement." seemed a stretch but so far it's succeeded. 071
John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 12/08/2026We, family, watched it from a beach in Normandy. Strange sight of a busy beach with everyone facing away from the sea and wrapped up in layers of warm clothing. The sudden silencing of the birds was extremely eerie. 030

John Dallimore @jd58.bsky.social · 21/03/2026I had a look at the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle - or versions of it - for balance and/or clarification. Lots of mentions of various fleets and ships but can't see anything definitive. History, eh? Bloody hell! 000
