I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

It's Christmas Eve in one month. Why not solve at least one of your Christmas present headaches with this fascinating book of mine about 80s pop history?
#IntoTheGroove
It's got everyone in it from Paul Young to Young Marble Giants, and from Salt-N-Pepa to Chas & Dave.

#IntoTheGroove, my new book, the month-by-month story of 1980s pop, out on Thurs 2 Oct from @eandtbooks.bsky.social. Pre-order from everywhere and anywhere, eg: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/into...

Black Friday is basically bollocks and small businesses deserve your support.

@gailmyerscough.co.uk I’ve just received this as an Email and would like to congratulate Gail for not caving into the pressure to cut prices just because of a date in the calendar I wish more businesses would do this instead of bombarding me with offers I’m not interested in 👏👏👏

One thing I loathe about writing. The second guessing, “is this what they’ll like?” Balls.

I admit “Kev Starmer LoLz” hasn’t exactly been tearing up trees, but let’s hope the Covid inquiry’s findings will remind us of the fact Johnson was and and still is, a useless, oily heap of shit.

Boris Johnson is an ignorant shithouse - pass it on.
"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all."

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social.

Re the previous quote Tweet (or whatever the heck you call it on here). Like @mooseallain.bsky.social I don’t enjoy advertising my services on here, “selling myself” isn’t my thing and agents aren’t taking new clients. I know, “boo-hoo!” but people have to understand it’s necessity.

Moose is great, I mean really great.
I genuinely hate having to plug my work on here. I would rather post my cartoons and drawings without a link to my website, but unfortunately social media is an important element of our business, so I have to do it. I do appreciate the reposts and thank you for the support since I came to Bluesky.

Meanwhile, people are still saying stuff such as “I BET THEY’RE ON THE PIP LOLZ”. Such lovely people.
