If you can’t find me I’m hopefully in a coffee shop with a good book.

What could be better than a mug of tea and the sound of Rupert Everett on @backlisted.bsky.social reading from David Niven’s The Moon’s a Balloon to a blissfully amused @iammilliam.bsky.social and me? Well, you could watch it instead…

Knowing that @backlisted.bsky.social were about to do an episode on this book, I picked up a copy. My wife came into the room late yesterday evening looking worried, “I didn’t know if you were laughing or crying...”
It was laughter, uproarious, uncontrolled gales of laughter. What a book!

A brilliant start to 2024! Thanks as always to @backlisted.bsky.social for the Barry Hines recommendation, although I’m slightly embarrassed at not having got to this book before now. Especially as I attended school in the north of England through the nineties. Worth the wait though, and how!

Heard this being talked about on Freethinking on BBC R3, what an extraordinary speech. Thank you @unamccormack.bsky.social.

9 y.o: Dad, I really like that film where that man kills all those people. Can we watch it?
Me: It’s a comic masterpiece, yes we can.
9 y.o.’s Mother: You two are weird!

And everyone spoke the truth.

First post on here. Hoping it will live up to the billing of being “nicer than the other place”.
