Thanks. I didn't realise until it was too late. So now people's replies are still there but with no context.

I'm just that good at marketing that I've accidentally deleted my post about my new book being published today.

I didn't clock that line until I was seconds from pressing send. Definitely not something I've come across in the last 26 years of subbing.

The ten year old in me is wetting himself over Spock's name almost being Spunk.

The 47 year old in me is also wetting himself.

Be sure to apply plenty of black hole sunscreen before lounging in your soundgarden.

The 'defence' of people who think stuff created by AI is worth more because it was created by AI, not because art is worth anything in itself.

So, tossers.

School 'thankful' after hot air balloon crashes into roof One witness said it 'looked like the people were going to fall out'

It's the school kids I feel sorry for. A balloon crashing into school is the sort of thing you'd remember your whole life and it happens during the summer break.

What a waste.

Bonkers to read a post from someone who runs a publishing company happily post on Facebook about attempting to pirate a film that's just been released at the cinema.

A particular publisher opened for a limited time so I sent in the required opening 10 pages & got the reply of 'we'll be in touch'.

That was April last year.

Today I emailed to withdraw because the book is released with a different publisher next year.

I've written 2 other books since that sub.
