I remember in the run-up to the Iraq War a friend I had known all my life suddenly said to me, ‘We must do something about this monster in Iraq.’ I said, ‘When did you first think that?’ He answered honestly, ‘A month ago’.

Hey Tom, I just listened to the podcast and loved it. Thanks so much to you and Dominic for saying such nice things about my books. I’ll see if I can get a couple of donkeys named after you in the next book.
I am very grateful to
@dcsandbrook
for introducing me on this episode to the novels of
@exogamist
, which I have been devouring ever since we recorded it, and are just as brilliant as he says.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Tom and Dominic from
@TheRestHistory
have donkeys named after them in my forthcoming novel, A Streetcar Named Aberystwyth

How cool is this! I ordered a few secondhand copies online of Aberystwyth Mon Amour, with the original cover. I was lucky enough to get one signed by the author. Fortunately it didn’t say, ‘To Mum’.
@RichieAllenShow
Richie, I used to admire you but I’m shocked by what I’ve seen from you tonight. You’re both on the same side FFS. Why couldn’t you have sorted it out in private?
Under normal circumstances, I might be sad to find Aberystwyth shrouded in rain; but as a huge fan of
@exogamist
’s Welsh Noir series, I know that the mean streets of Aberystwyth, with their druidical drugs gangs & hookers in stovepipe hats, SHOULD be shrouded in rain…

Everything you need to write your novel, and all while you sleep. OK that’s not true, I haven’t figured that bit out yet. You have to be awake.

You put in a shilling and gaze for a brief while at a sunlit landscape, anxiety pierces your heart as you sense the money is running… Click! Everything goes black. It’s a metaphor for life.
As someone who recently watched his 92 year old father die, while receiving the most astonishing care in a NHS hospital, this article by

about the stealth dismantling of the NHS is almost unbearably depressing
A week ago I was approached by these very nice people Hobeck Books to take part in a podcast. It was a lovely experience and I can’t wait for them to come to Oxford for a rematch and to buy me a pint. Have a listen if you have a mo’
The podcast is up, finally! This week we are in sleepy Devon and before that we spoke with Malcolm Pryce about writing, Oxford busses and Welsh cities

Yes, the notion that Iran would attack a Japanese tanker the week the Japanese prime minister was visiting for constructive talks is as likely as me ordering food from Deliveroo and then smashing up the driver’s bike
So four years late I deliver the manuscript to Bloomsbury. The novel is about a man killed by a steam engine. Title, which I was rather proud of, was The Man Who Was Chuffed to Death. They don’t like it. Why? They tell me it’s a euphemism for masturbation. Huh?! I had no idea.

They want to mandate an experimental vaccine that even Bill Gates admits will leave at least 700,000 people worldwide damaged by side effects. I wish I could wake up from this nightmare.

No, Igor! No! There is no time. Can’t you see? I am sending a card to the tweeps!

He seems to argue that you don’t have the right to unwittingly infect others. But we’ve always had that right, without it no one can ever leave home again.
Great review for Streetcar from crime fiction legend, Maxim Jakubowski: '... the first self-published book I’ve reviewed in over 30 years as a critic... Rush out and order this delightful novel immediately!'
I told my friend Lesli that one of my YouTube videos got 50k views in a week. She told me that her cat Stanford got 60k views on Instagram for one of his videos. It was 9 seconds long and featured him digging a hole. Well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
If you want to rob a bank, tomorrow around 6pm would be a good time. The streets will be deserted as the people of earth huddle round their radios transfixed with joy.
Well, don’t expect the Town Council to commission it. I once visited the Tourist Info in the company of Radio 4 Arts correspondent
@RebeccaJonesBBC
to talk about my books. When they found out who I was, they threw us off the premises
@NeilClark66
Yes, and since the Govt acknowledged evidence for mask-wearing was ‘weak’ you’d expect them to reverse the policy in view of this. But of course they will extend it.
It’s ten years this week since I moved into this apartment. I decide to defrost the fridge for the first time. I find a Japanese soldier in there, who thinks the war is still going on. ‘Mate, it’s OK, it’s over! Come out and I’ll take you to Wagamamas.’
@garethicke
There was no such plot. The official narrative is nonsense. It was a false flag designed to introduce anti-catholic persecution. This free book gives you the low-down
Great stuff. Just to reassure those of a nervous disposition, in the book Father Christmas gets his manhood chopped off and stuffed in his mouth, but this detail is missing from the play version. So feel free to invite the vicar round to listen.
I was so excited to be asked to work on this novel. I've been a fan for a long time. Thank you,
@exogamist
, for putting your trust in me.
It came out in paperback a few days ago. Head to Amazon for your copy.

You know the Illuminati get a lot of bad press but they have a great interior design division. This All-seeing Eye from the Supreme Court is the most stylish I’ve ever seen
