In the latest Guardian Blind Date: 'he stayed behind to pick at the cold leftovers'
My review:
My review:
If you are after signed copies of THE GLORIOUS DEAD, in the last few days I’ve scribbled in copies in @foylesforbooks.bsky.social at Waterloo Station, Columbia Road Books, and @hatchards.bsky.social at St Pancras. And there’s one at @waterstones.bsky.social Leadenhall and one at Lewisham too.

Happy anniversary of Beyoncé and Alexandra duetting on ‘The X Factor’ to all who celebrate.
The truth about 'sing it, girl'
I'm taking us back to the very last time there was anything good on TV. The peak of democracy, pop music, and Saturday night television – 13 December 2008.

Wearily We Crawl Along
Richard Linklater is filming a musical of Merrily We Roll Along over 20 years to match the age changes of the characters and it won’t be ready until 2040?
Gosh.

A man in the train station has made the gigantic mistake of FaceTiming his family while drinking from a Grinch cup and the kids are losing their minds.

This banger is on CBBC today at 5:55! (And on iPlayer all the time but please allow it.)
I was thrilled to be on the team behind Dexter Procter: The 10-Year-Old Doctor, adapted by @amateuradam.bsky.social from his brilliant book. The cast is starry! The jokes are funny! The plot is ridiculous, heartwarming and slightly disgusting! It’s on BBC iPlayer NOW, and on telly over Xmas.

A published novel is the tip of an iceberg that goes miles deep.
If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Still have PTSD from working on the cig counter aged 18 and this song playing ten times a day. It’s the elevator music as you descend to Hell.
I put it to you that Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” is not merely the worst Christmas song but is also in fact the worst song in the history of recorded sound.

‘How many copies have you sold?’

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
