Putting me to shame, Beth. What’s in the bowl?

I find a great deal of spiritual comfort when I read the scared text:

“SEO, Farmating & Make you tok stour Book an Print Design!”

I’m personally looking forward to Old Sheldon.

@jim.londoncentric.media's exposé of mass evictions from of London’s biggest landlords has made the rounds last week. In the early 60s, another notorious landlord, Peter Rachman, had his shady business practices exposed, as Neil Root explains👇

Making my child dress as Richard Osman for World Book Day

Absolute classic. That final sequence absolutely scared the shit out of me.

We’ve not heard from him since the Toyota broke down!

This also happened to me with someone in America. I see your Bob at Nissan, Bible Study emails — and your hardcore pornography subscriptions.

Should’ve kept the TV, too.

WOW.

This flying cat is the bane of my life on OW.

Ach sorry mate that’s a huge bummer.

It’s worth sticking with. I still maintain it’s a little too long (esp. compared to Smiley’s People) but it’s a brilliant book.

This is totally in my wheelhouse, can’t wait to read this @benedictanning.bsky.social!
