Every flipping afternoon a loud, fat, hairy fly comes along and spends the last hour of my working day violently flinging himself against the window next to me. Today he has brought a friend.

I'm looking forward to the at the Bournemouth Romance Writing Festival on the 18th October!

As a Bringer of Death most of my characters end up in toxic relationships or being murdered so I'm looking forward to get insights into the art of happily ever after...

That's freaky! I have a journalist friend who has the same name as a well known kidlit author and they have a mutual pact to forward on wrong emails.

I changed my email address about nine years ago and my friends and family STILL keep using the old one and then moaning when I don't get the message. It's enraging.

It's weird how almost all the greatest British Sitcoms are about men being forced to share their lives with other men. Porridge, Dad's Army, Rising Damp, Red Dwarf, Only Fools, even The Young Ones. Fawlty Towers maybe stands out because of the female characters.

Robin Ince @robinince.bsky.social · 24d

Fawlty Towers is relentlessly called “the greatest sitcom” in the press, yet far less love for Rising Damp which I think is a masterpiece
