I am near Wrexham, up North Wales. We moved down here when I was very young, but I long to return to Northumberland xx

Little trip to Liverpool today to see Galeon Andalusia, a replica 17th century Spanish galleon, built in Seville. I wasn't so keen on Liverpool when I worked there 20 years ago, but I admit that it's grown on me and the architecture is top drawer.

I decided to go with Malice ! Favourite Gemmell probably Waylander or Legend. Hard to overlook a bit of Druss !

Alex Merry @icecoldal.bsky.social · Sep 15

I've bought 3 of your books today, going to start Malice or Shadow by lamplight now. Excited to start ! I'm a massive Gemmell fan and came to you through his work and DG facebook group

Probably. Soon I'll be peeing my own chinos without some drugged up scrote behind me at Glasto doing it for me.

Hello by the way ! I'm Alex and I'm a grumpy 54 year old 🤣

Hmmmm that's me off festivals for life ! I went to Stereophonics in 2016 in Wrexham. Queues for toilets were about 100 deep. I went home and had some wine. Sod that !

Little trip to Stratford Upon Avon last week. Lovely place. Saw "The Constant Wife" at the RSC, starting Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones ("you know nothing Jon Snurr").

Toilets is a big thing for me around this. That's enough in itself to put me off !

Alex Merry @icecoldal.bsky.social · Jun 29

Yes definitely. I'll try and be here more. And I've got your number too😁👍

Alex Merry @icecoldal.bsky.social · Jun 29

Thanks Imps. I had this once before. They whacked some fantastic drugs into me before anaesthetic, so that's something !

Yes, all fine. I've got an op tomorrow, throat biopsies under GA, so that's a nuisance, but it'll be fine I hope

Alex Merry @icecoldal.bsky.social · Jun 29

Hi C, I must come here more often. How are you ?

Alex Merry @icecoldal.bsky.social · Jun 29

Jarvis Cocker questioning the cleanliness of my home, by suggesting that roaches are present, has deeply offended me.

Cancel the bastard now !

Alex Merry @icecoldal.bsky.social · Jun 29

I just got into a twitter argument with a Tate-Fellater.

That place really is lost.

On my phone homepage, bluesky icon is up at the top.

Which means that when I look in, it feels like I'm popping up to Scotland for a mooch around.

I am hoping that bluesky doesn't give a monkeys whether you're a Dad or not
