Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Saint Brandon divers ready for first dive of the day. 130
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 25/09/2026South island. Population - two guys from Madagascar, two species of birds, a handful of rabbits and some turtles. 030
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Landed on Coco Island. Population: a few hundred birds. Distressing to see so much rubbish washed up. The team spent a couple of hours picking it up, but what can 12 people do against a tsunami of human waste? 060
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Where to start with the Orange Anus's drivel? Perhaps the Communist policies that have 'failed' for 'thousands of years'. Checks notes - the Communist Manifesto is less than two hundred years old. 182
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Chikungunya latest. Fever has died down, fatigue still an issue, but worst aspect is the painfulness of the rash spreading up the leg. Definitely one to avoid, people. 260
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Better than Nolan's film, Aguirre is stunning visually, haunting and hypnotic and has Klaus Kinski on an odyssey with a far more shattering ending. It brilliantly depicts the hubris of soldiers, empire and hierarchy and where it ends. The last images will stay with you for life. 141
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The Odyssey movie. My take: www.facebook.com/officialsimo... 120
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 16/07/2026No, the Falklands are not Argentinian. A pointless and avoidable war was fought over this resulting in hundreds of deaths thanks to a cynical Argentine dictator. Just when you thought the World Cup could not sink any lower... What will FIFA do about this disgrace? 3181
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I am so sick of the world being held hostage by a demented narcissistic pedophile, abetted by grifting cronies and enabled by knuckle-dragging bigots who are so small minded that they think they are empowered by his racism. 1123
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026"Gianni, I just need 14,000 more goals. You can fix that for me. It would be tremendous. No-one cheats like I do. I am the bigliest cheater, it's true. People say to me, 'sir, no-one knows as much about cheating as you do." 152
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026This shames the USA... And it is so redolent of how low America has sunk under Donald Trump. He wants to drag the US team down to his level of sewer morality. He cheats at everything and cheats on every one and now he wants the US team to cheat as well and share in the cesspool of his shame. 2111
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Entering the final act of The Sword of Rome my study has the usual disorder. Heaped empty peanut cans in the waste paper bins, desks overflowing with clutter, clusters of coffee mugs, paints to the left for Warlord Games epic scale figures. Research PC to the right and writing laptop to the left. 192
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Infantino is going to invent an 'integrity in hosting major sporting events prize' for Trump and himself, isn't he? 1132
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Infantino is going to invent an 'integrity in hosting major sporting events prize' to Trump and himself, isn't he? 000
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 26/06/2026This going to the gym lark is not my cup of tea.. 490
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Quick competition! A copy of the audio book of Tyrant of Rome for the best three jokes about Romans/Latin that you can come up with. Closing date for competition - End of play tonight. Paratus, stabilis, ite! 022
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Or MAGA, or Reform, or working class Conservative voters... 093
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Some holiday reading from the rather nice Holt bookshop in Norfolk. 160
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I just wish Reform voters would be honest about being petty racists who don't care if Farage is as corrupt as hell, just as long as he endorses their petty racism... 1165
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Farage Always Chickens Out Forever Fortunately... FACOFF. 0135
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Met up with Angelika and Nigel who sponsored my event at the last Alderney Literary Festival during their brief visit to the island. Bonzour! 280
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Enfin! Two years in the making and one year of delay but you can call me captain now. Make it so! 361
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Changes can happen so quickly. For the last four years a local river has divided the beach. Now the course has shifted taking out half the beach, trees and threatening a boutique hotel, shops and local dwellings. And not a peep from the government... 😬 031
Simon Scarrow @simon-scarrow.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Had a good meeting with some lovely people at the University of Mauritius about putting together a Creative Writing module at the University. First steps... 1122
