FT headline: " Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills.
Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK.."
Thoughts and prayers, everybody, thoughts and prayers...

2 x Carol Swain is a perfect intro to the elusive, intriguing work of Carol Swain. A road trip reveals troubling truths, and the spectre of war hangs uneasily over a small town. With new introductions and an interview with the artist.

Hard to place exactly what vibes I'm giving in that photo. I think it's the face I have when I've just answered the door and suspect that the caller is just about to tell me the good news about our lord Jesus Christ.
This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂
Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social
Coming soon!
The first Gosh/Broken Frontier Drink and Draw of 2026 with Rein Lee and Matthew Dooley.

Nice to see cartoonists for Gaza picking up an award.
Well done Rachael and Krent
Here's hoping it doesn't need any sequels...
Didn't get it, but the reaction from everyone I know who did is a universal 'huh?'
Review of Bog People from The Morning Star.
Does this mean I'm part of the solution?
Missed that the Grauniad reviewed Bog People, favourably, back in November.
Don't mention me though.

George is largely unmoved by the plight of a fictional cat.
Agreed.
They shall feel our simmering wrath.😠
You may be forgiven.🙂
We're probably fine until some bastard releases 'That Bad Bad Place.'
Best of luck with it all.x

"The reader is drawn into a vortex by the hypnotic flow of images, each successive tableau more outrageous than the last"
Myself and Mr Hine would like it known that we bear no ill will towards ms Frances Crawford and her TITLE-STEALING debut novel, and wish it well when it debuts next year.
I mean hers is just A bad bad place, ours is THE bad bad place, so it's fine. It's all fine....
(stares daggers at the screen.)
Oh, and did you see the Independent headline today? - "Prepare for war like our grandparents endured, Nato chief tells Europe"
(clicks heels, saunters off whistling 'Roll out the Barrel')
Aaaargh jesus we're buggered.
Anyone wondering whether to pull the trigger on Clown In A Cornfield on Prime and questioning whether it fulfils its title remit can rest assured that, as of 50 minutes in, it has delivered clowns and cornfields aplenty.
I know!
I'm not using it right now to not write this.
Then you've heard wrong.
Authors get paid fees every time the book is lent out by the PLR, (Public Lending Right)

Be there!
Welcome to my unpleasant world!
