  1. Kids today… I still recall sitting engrossed with my parents through the original Star Wars on TV (video rental maybe) when I was 5
  2. Tried her with thr Lion King, Aladdin and Toy Story last year. Not much interest. Tried her with the live action Lion King, thinking the talking real animals(!) would amaze her. Got to thr hyenas and she asked for Baby JJ :/
  3. Certainly useful when wife is backshift and I need to prepare child’s dinner, do dishes, run bath and skip youtube adverts. Simultaneously. Tho she moved on mostly to the Coconelon rip-offs, to weird Russian-American familes, to Peppa Pig. Wharever crap is on youtube. While uninterested in the entire Disney library available through Disney+
  4. Yeah his name came up during the Lynch thing a couple years ago
  5. Diana Gabaldon, writer of 18th century Scottish book series Outlander revealing she knows fuck-all about Scotland (or Scotchland as dhe probably calls it) edit: apparently the SNP got into power in the mid-20th century which is quite an achievement, since the parliament was only reconvened in 1999 and Labour were in charge until 2007
  6. Tate and his brother have been detained for a further 30 days https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64347211
  7. So do old people. Particularly the ones who voted for Brexit and keep voting Tory
  8. Tate’s appeal against the thirty day detention failed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64222801
  9. Congrats! Are you sending it to Inspired Quill again? Got Wise Phuuk in paperback. Checked with my agent as wasnt sure if The Blood Hour had been sent out to publishers, and it had, and should probably start getting replies back in a few months. Diabolic Immunity was submitted to publishers 18 months ago and still waiting for most to respond, but hopefully TBH - epic fantasy rather than urban fantasy - will get a quicker and more favourable response.
  10. Lucifer & Son, book 3 of my Sooty Feathers gothic supernatural/urban fantasy series (set in Victorian Scotland), is due out this year (second half , probably near the end of the year). Assuming I finish and submit it on time to the publisher. Will update with a date when known.
  11. Book 2 of The Darkwater Legscy comes oit in February
  12. Are they rwlly ‘intensely’ unpopular? Are you basing that on the Daily Heil, the Ex-piss and the Torygraph? The Scum? I suspect most of the public is pretty indifferent .
  13. Your ‘making shit up based on the right wing press’ game? It’s only been in the past couple years (since leaving) that he’s really goven his opinion publicly. So you don’t know to what extent it’s been modified by Meghan now that he’s no longer toeing the family line.
  14. Didn’t know you were Harry’s confidante of many years
  15. Boys are perhaps more likely to go into trade apprenticeships. A couple of parents i know of teeneged boys certainly encouraged their sons to go the apprenticeship route rather than go to uni. Twenty/thirty yesrs ago, I believe apprenticeships were less of a thing, and certainly the mindset at school was to go to uni if you could. That’s changed.
  16. These high profile sex trafickers need to stay the fuck away from pizza
  17. He kindof gets round the bans due to other peolle posting his shit
  18. Misogynist influencer whose popularity among certain elements of teenaged boys has teachers and parents concerned. There’s a video of him basically claiming40% of the reason he moved to Romania is because of their less atrict rape laws. Former kickboxer. Got kicked out of Big Brother when footage emerged of him hitting a woman. Got banned from social media, until Musk recently unbanned him along with Trump. He seemed to think by attacking Thunberg he could raise his profile. Has worked, albeit maybe not the way he wanted it. Got mocked for taking 11 hours to come uo with a retort that was essentially “I know you are but what about me.”
  19. Apparently he doxxed himself by posting that video with the Romanian pizza company
  20. Are we back to where we were three years ago, with the virus running rampant in China, and every other country doing nothing to stop the inevitable spread worldwide?
  21. These elves still live for centuries, and according to thr book are supposed to be aen seidhe.
