Now retired, I wish when at secondary school someone would have hypothetical illustrated a career trajectory. Starting with asking what kind of house/car/family/holidays I desired. Then illustrating what jobs would provide enough money to support that. And so on.

Errr... on tonight's Traitors, Harriet labelled herself as the Secret Barrister. And she writes crime fiction too. I claim my £10 for working this one out. :-)

I don't venture on to BlueSky very often, but was interested in this offer when I just spotted it. The book is showing £9.99 for me, so did I miss the window or does it not apply to Scotland? Feedback appreciated.

I've never had glowing reviews of anything I have done, but if I did I would be checking whether the first letter of every word spelled out something rude...
Bet ya looked. ;-)
P.S. Am I not getting a free book then?

I will take one. But just in case I don't like it, please enclose a return name and address. I'm happy to fund the return postage in such circumstances. ;-)

Using a large marker pen, make a sign on some A4 paper to remind the idiots of etiquette and just silently hold it up to your camera. You never know, it might just alert someone.

Didn't Gary Larson cover this idea years ago?

How about dress in the barrister garb with that pixellated-face mask as per prior books? Everyone will presume you are a hired actor for the event. Double bluff.

The only reason my wife married me is that I told her I had piles and she thought I meant money... :-)

OK professor, for us at the back of the class what does that green filled test tube mean? Please?

A friend told me the tale, so I wrote it up and sent it into The (Glasgow) Herald newspaper and they published it in their Diary column (which contains amusing stories). From 2018.

The rule in our (retired) household is that IF you make a noise when exiting a chair, you are obliged to sit back down and exit it again without making said noise.

Did you mention setting a "SIM PIN", as per the Which? presenter some months ago regarding moving a stolen SIM into another phone?

Question: what's the thinking behind the moniker "S.J. Fleet" when the cover is emblazoned with "The Secret Barrister"? It's not a "Robert Galbraith" scenario?
Unless this is a double bluff.
Best wishes on the launch.
