You wouldn’t say that if you’d worked in a factory making them like I have.

I’m quite horrified by anyone using an unnecessary comma.

Pity it’s not spelling. It’s ‘judgement’. Unless you’re American etc etc.

As an English teacher, spelling frustrated me no end. It’s ‘practising’. The verb has an ‘s’. Unless you’re American.

I applaud the sentiment but the lack of appropriate punctuation is making my fingers itch!

Exactly what I’ve been saying for decades. Not just me, obviously. I hate how individualism and greed have been the norm for so long.

It’s so difficult for autistic people to find a group that gives a sense of belonging. I was hoping to see more of Danni in the show. A very gracious departure.

The advantage of going to a fun comic con, 2 gigs and a book festival in 8 days is that I feel a bit more confident about being creative and also less bothered about craving success. Connecting with authors and reconnecting with comics people was fab. Blog post and Substack article on the way.

I’m exhausted after Marillion on Wednesday, Big Big Train on Friday, and the Milton Keynes Literary festival on Saturday. Two of the best gigs I’ve seen in a very long time, the grottiest Premier Inn I’ve seen, and a great day signing books, seeing people I haven’t seen for years, and now… sleep.

Fancy a signed copy of any of these? Come find me at the Milton Keynes indie bookfest on Saturday, fresh from me seeing Big Big Train there on Friday!

Hey, why not celebrate Batman day by ignoring corporate owned characters, and instead buying a unique creator owned book written and drawn by an artist with real talent, like Paul Rainey’s Murder School. @pbrainey.bsky.social @dandq.bsky.social

MPs have forgotten why other countries don’t vote for us and it’s nothing to do with the quality of the song.

Not if they’re not ghostwritten.

It depends on whether they actually wrote their books or not or whether they had to pitch like any other author (clue: they don’t. They have an unfair advantage, but was ever thus).

It really boils my piss the way she was treated and she’s been proven right about everything over and over again.

That hasn’t been the case since we used typewriters. Open any published book or magazine at all and you’ll see it’s one space after a full stop.

I also hate articles that state it’s a “4 minute read”. I’ll decide how long it takes me to read it, thanks very much.

In Leicester to see IQ in a couple of hours. I accidentally fell into the TGJones closing down sale and Waterstones. I had to buy books just to escape. Needed a coffee to steady my nerves, and then a cake fell onto the tray. I am so clumsy!
