I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

Thank you. Only a very tiny number of people read the entire thread but everyone who did immediately went out and formed a band.

There's a lot I won't miss when the internet explodes but what I'll perhaps miss least of all is people who try to have a debate with me about the things I've said in a piece I wrote that they didn't actually read but saw the headline of in a social media feed.

“Have I been an angry person at times in my life? Who hasn’t? If you’d crossed me at the peak of my tabloid notoriety, you soon would have known about it. I will hold my hands up & say I was mean to some people. Jennifer Aniston did not call me ‘that tiny scuttling slag with the ears’ for nothing."
