So as I've been away for a while, here's a potted history...
Hello, I'm Tony. I've been professionally writing since I was 16, reviewing #SinclairSpectrum games for YOUR SINCLAIR magazine. I was a Covent Garden Street Performer, and I was paralysed and lost 3 months memory at the age of 21.

In 2021, my accountant suggested that I should put money into gold, as it'd go up more than ISAs etc. At the time it was about $1800 an oz.
A "financial expert" friend said they were talking BS.
I ignored them.
Today gold broke $5k an oz. And, I believe by EOY it'll be $10k.
It's not too late.

Well this is a nice way to end the year - right now, HIS DEAD MAN'S HAND is 12 in the Amazon "British Detectives" charts, and apparently is a Richard Osman sandwich!

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, when I met you.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Just over a year ago, I bought $RKLB at $6 a share and $ASTS at $20 as they sounded like a good bet, and I was going in on space stocks.
Currently $RKLB stands at $70 a share. $ASTS is $90.
I don't often pick a winner, but damn. And $RKLB is still early.

You should all read this post as it talks about a comic written 19 years ago and has a cameo of me in it saying "bat-zombie" which is probably the only time I ever said that.
Okay one of two times, three times tops.

Of course, when it comes to Batman the thing that everyone really wants to see is Finland, Finland, Finland (which scarily turned 19 this year).
For those who don't know, 19 years ago Lee Budgie Barnett brought his 11 year old son to the Bristol Comic Con and during the evening Phil and Budgie...

Strong new contender for World's Most Punchable Face.
As Zelensky headed into a high-stakes meeting in the Oval Office this week, Vice President JD Vance warned him to “behave.” “Mr. President, so long as you behave, I won’t say anything,” Mr. Vance recounted to Fox News on Wednesday, adding that the Ukrainian leader chuckled in response. 🤮

I only ever met Terence Stamp once and it was almost twenty years ago in Soho. We were walking past each other when I saw him - my eyes must have widened as he gave me a cheeky wink, said ‘yes it’s me’ and carried on past.
I stood in the street, awestruck.

In hot weather like this, remember to keep an eye on your freelancers. Move them to a shaded spot, indoors if possible, away from ‘people’. Distract them with a computer or some unrealistic deadline. Do check on them, by email, but don’t forget to set yours to out of office in case they reply 🙏

Seeing #SDCC trending always bites, especially as the last time I went was nine years ago and this would have been the 20th anniversary of my first visit.
That said, I’ve too many things on the plate for this year and have a funeral to go to today.
Next year, maybe.

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January

As SUPERMAN is released, I'm seeing creators are giving their Superman stories.
I never had one. Seriously. I was asked to pitch several times, but I never had a Clark or Supes story, and the closest I had was Superboy.
But I did get *this* close to an ACTION COMICS story once...
