Oh there is not enough Fuck You in the WORLD for this.
Late 1980s, after last orders. Gang of us bounced someone's Reliant Robin across a road and into one of the old, open-fronted, pebble-dashed bus shelters. It fit perfectly, lengthwise. Sorry.
youtu.be/0bP0-WgwBRE?... This first-hand account of the US education system has shocked me this afternoon. A friend of mine recommended a film called 'Idiocracy', set in America a few centuries hence. I think the director forgot to include the words 'based on true events' in the opening scene.
Wounded man staggers into bedroom. Woman stuffs body into one cupboard. A different body falls out of another cupboard. Dog runs through room followed by a squealing maid. Dog has severed hand in mouth. Dog refuses to give it back.
We imbue the days of the week with personality, so that they serve as cultural reference points. Every day is like Sunday. Garfield hates Mondays. TGIF, amirite?
Which is odd, really, because - unlike day, month or year - the week is entirely made up

Here in South Wales, we're eagerly holding our collective breath and bladder for the 'exciting brand-new' rolling stock on the line from Cardiff. A full hour doing almost miles with no toilets on board. I'd hate to be cleaning crew the morning after an international or a big gig in town.

"Generations to come"? I'm starting to suspect that the people who make money selling gas might not have a plan to transition us off fossil fuels after all!
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 671:
In dialogue, remember that accent is only one way to differentiate between speakers. Real people have all kinds of verbal mannerisms; favourite words, expressions, silences, gestures, sentence length, different vocabularies.

This particular middle-aged man will tell you about the time he bought 'Record Mirror' in a motorway service station on the way home from an interview at Bradford University, purely because of the photoshoot featuring Kirsty MacColl in black leather. 💓
Question: someone i know who's already a writer in another area wants to do a crime-writing course. No getting published content, they have that covered, just craft stuff. Preferably online, suitable for a UK timezone. Please do share if you don't know of one! #AuthorSky
I can say this publicly now - connected to this piece - it always disappointed me how rarely Monkey Cage had more than one female panellist - in my final series I think only 2 out of 7 episodes had more than one female guest - I pushed for many years but ultimately failed and now I’m gone
