Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. Not sure why you have a goose in your house, that might be something to look at before everything gets covered in feathers and goose plops.

This coming Monday we're doing our last Smith and Sniff live show of the year. It's in Bristol. It's at the Tobacco Factory. There's a panto on in the same theatre and they're told us we need to work around their set. A few tickets left here... tobaccofactorytheatres.com/shows/otlot-...

Two things yesterday made me go WOO and YEAH. One is explained in this first photograph, the other is something car-related and very interesting that will be revealed in a forthcoming episode of Smith and Sniff.

This is the first instance I can remember of an automaker photoshopping additional camouflage onto an already camouflaged prototype — none of the soft top's side window camo panels are real in these photos

Don't forget, you can hear us doing this sort of thing in person (probably with less car chat) by coming to our next live show which is in Bristol on 15 December. tobaccofactorytheatres.com/shows/otlot-...

Like everyone else caught up in the Unbound “drama”, John Finnemore is working out what to do with a book that was terminated with incompetent prejudice by people who vanished.

If you would like a lovely Xmas gift, he’s opened a shop, announced in this post here!

I don't. It's so frustrating that they would add words like this and change the sense of the story.

Here's another one, as written and as published. I believe part of a writer's job is to avoid needless repetition. The Sunday Times subs disagree and, in this case, have pointlessly added 'a good thing' to two consecutive paragraphs so the writer looks like a clattering amateur.

I recently wrote a review of the KGM Torres. Unfortunately, this isn't it because, once again, The Sunday Times's sub-editors decided to change all my words to make everything worse. www.thetimes.com/life-style/d...
KGM Torres review — suspension like a Jeep, tech like a knock-off iPad
I’m not sure why the SsangYong Motor Company changed it’s name to the KG Mobility Corporation. But it’s better than going back to the company’s original name of Dong-A Motor

Here, for example, is the original paragraph and the one as printed. You'll notice that I wrote about the Land Rover Discovery and not 'the current Land Rover' because, call me old fashioned, I think it's good if a reviewer sounds like they know what they're talking about.
