To say they're not intrusive is clearly bollocks. A hard no from me.

I recall a lawsuit in ?California? where a chap wanted to inherit his dad's vast jazz collection on iTunes. Apple won the court case, citing that the Dad merely purchased his own access to the music, not the music itself.

I got the email notification about this from Spreadshirt last week and promptly deleted my account. If you have one, you should too.

I’m off to Ireland later this week for my final solo poetry shows of the year.

Incredibly, there are still tickets left – especially for the Dublin show (I hope my performance there last year hasn’t put you off from coming again) – so please spread the word!

Tickets here: brianbilston.com/events/

A pic of me and my cat, alongside my Irish dates:
17 Oct: BELFAST: Mandela Hall
18 Oct: DUBLIN: Ambassador Theatre
19 Oct: LIMERICK: Lime Tree Theatre
20 Oct: DERRY: Millennium Forum

This! A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved.

It was very fast in large part because there were hundreds of thousands of volunteers (including me) and a boatload of money available for clinical trials that doesn't normally happen.

Ah - we never put the salt in our 'washer. Maybe that's where we've been going right?

Thankyou.

It was very tasty - can recommend - but the food FX camera function makes images appear like they're something from the 1950s, and not in a good way.

Apologies for the dreadful photo - since the latest phone update, food shots have been very poor.

Glorious!

I tried it with the Bicarb and it worked really well. Bit too ugly to photograph for here, but jolly tasty. Diolch 🙂

Just stuffed it with buttered breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, garlic and sautéed shallots. Oh and anchovies of course.

Aye.

Yes, shocking.

I've got a stuffed breast of lamb roasting, and I'm about to make a salsa verde to go with some spuds and cabbage.

BiL was offered the whole suite of recreational pharmaceuticals by a new member of staff. Didn't really bother him until...

"You must need something. I've got roofies" (Rohypnol - the date rape drug)
Didn't hesitate, called the Bobbies and Chummy was very nicked & sent down for three years.

My partner's friend group are twats. One of them made digs at me because I don't go to after parties in folk's kitchens. He was a small time dealer, so I reported him to Crimestoppers. His house was raided, pled guilty, name plastered over the local paper. Mission accomplished.
