Lovely Sunday evening we’re having.

This spelling at a pub in Manchester makes my brain hurt.

Very happy to have prerecorded an interview for The Late Late Book Show starting next Wednesday at 11pm. I talk about my new chapbook Gregor @sunburntsaints.bsky.social, @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social Saltburn @renardpress.com - info in the link👇👇👇👇 thelatelatebookshow.co.uk

@illandancient.bsky.social thought this may be of some interest. Not one, ordinarily, for sharing something from The Sun but I especially liked the quote, ‘Bawbag is the kind of linguistic craftsmanship you just don’t get south of the border.’😆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 apple.news/AYkVtu3wAQQu...

💥Very excited to announce that Into Books will be publishing the 3rd novel from @gfpaterson.bsky.social Paterson. Coming in Spring 2027! The Comedians - a bittersweet tale of fame, betrayal & rivalry, where two damaged souls fight for laughter, love, & a last chance to defy the gods of failure.

Honourable mention for this (even if it is honourably mentioned by the author, ahem), also very favourably reviewed by The Bottle Imp a couple of years ago. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #ReadingCommunity #IndieBooks #IndieAuthor www.thebottleimp.org.uk/2023/03/libe...

Typical schoolboy shite man.

And I’m envisioning an emphatic victory for Scotland over Brazil tonight in Miami (but will settle for a draw).😏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our Pick of the Day is the unsettling and excellent tale, Not of God, by Alexander Moore. Do read and share it. www.abctales.com/story/alexan...

Great book. I highly recommend it. Hope you’re well @mcinrob.bsky.social

Great news!

Apple, if you could stop completely changing the layout and user interface of an iPhone everytime you update the IOS, that’d be great.

Is anyone really surprised that convicted rapist Trump is trying to force himself on Greenland after it said no?

AI is systematically eroding culture and history before our eyes and within a few generations no one is going to be able to distinguish truth from fabrication.

Top trolling.👌🏻

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/cc-df

Enjoying a few beers and some serious reading prior to the bells. 🍻

Nice review of Saltburn up on Whichbook - ‘Profound and perverse..’ www.whichbook.net/book/13283/S...

1000 times this.😡😡😡

Student loans are one of the biggest rackets around. Forty-four years old and still being shafted every month.

To be compared in a breath to the mighty Myles is an accolade only Christmas could bring.

Can I brazenly point out that someone might appreciate poetry for Christmas? amzn.eu/d/8GeJEBX

And have you noticed a big uptick in “benefits” stories at the moment? Probably completely unrelated(🤔) to the fact we’ve had the longest run with no small boat crossings for 2 years, and the latest immigration stats are down at pre-pandemic levels… They’ve gotta find a scapegoat somewhere🙄 9/9

Death to YouTube advertisements when I’m watching something interesting!

This lad deserves more exposure. Keeping Scottish folk music alive, which will always have my support. Have a listen. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 youtu.be/uf5NKTcYtq0?...
