A simple guide to avoiding cancellation:
1) Keep your hands to yourself. Fans & colleagues aren't there for your sexual gratification.
2) No, really. Keep your hands to yourself.
3) Don't say hateful shit.
4) Avoid thinking hateful shit. It's not hard.
5) That's it. Hands. Hateful shit. Really.
I used to read Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather this time of year, but trying The 8th Reindeer of the Apocalypse by Tom Holt. Not too far in, but there's a cracking gag about Father Christmas and renewable energy that makes me confident I've made the right choice #fantasybooks #christmasbooks
Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
First window of my Advent calendar....and it's a bloody Creme Egg.... let's get Christmas out the way before I start to think about Easter

No, even my wife has conceded defeat with it
Yes, but is it your dog?
Iconic architecture that’s a place of worship. And the cathedral.
Doctor: do you exercise?
Me: oh yeah I do all of them, the push-offs, plonks
Doctor:
Me: cronchies
Doctor: I'm gonna put no
Me: ok
And it never ends... my daughter is 23, moved out 5 yrs ago and is still a disruption in my attempt to lead a quiet, ordered life

Currently reading a British urban fantasy, Strange Times...fast paced and fun
Followers... love to give them a try
Lots of positives, entertaining and some debuts. Problem for Tuchel if he has a bad game people will call for Carsleys return
Wouldn't be so bad, but I work for myself 😕
Reading The Stranger Times by CK McDonnell, a British urban fantasy....all good fun
Not Pig Holes then?
Picked this up ages ago mostly because the next in the series is This Charming Man (Smiths fan). Finally got round to reading it... Brilliant fun, great characters and plenty of weird goings on
Damn....came on just to say crisps must be involved
Discovered your books this summer and devoured them when I should have been working
Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know.
Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.
Warm tones and emerald green, an exotic vast library populated by a mains coon cat, a clockwork copper frog, a raven and the shadow of a dog.
