Just ad libbed a song to encourage my kids to eat broccoli and am pretty proud of rhyming β€˜sulfurous compounds’ with β€˜thunderous bum sounds’

My kids school are just saying β€˜dress in a colour related to a book’. I think they’ve nailed the fun/participation ratio

Just about to re-shelve the living room books after decorating. Going to make sure all my Calvin & Hobbes, far side etc are together at kid height.

I don't care about what political party they belong to, but I strongly feel Parliament needs more Plumbers Who Are Also Training How to do Plastering, and less people who have PPE degrees or programmes on "news" channels.

This is great! Have been wanting to read more of your stuff but am a bit wary of Substack as a platform. Escape feels like the right place for your reporting and I really look froward to learning more about the less heralded racing.

I’m a big fan of this and would add Tour de France to the list. This year the first time it’s been off free to air since the 80s.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase β€˜Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen β€˜His name’
