This very thing happened to me. I had a black 350z, and came out of the surgery one evening to find a toy black 350z sitting on it. I still have the toy.

The book โ€˜Tartine Breadโ€™ is a huge help with this.

I think peopleโ€™s understanding of endocrine drugs is minimal, and heavily influenced by pre-existing beliefs.

The missing bits of Tacitusโ€™ works, or Ptolemeyโ€™s biography of Alexander.

Worse, sheโ€™s responsible for potentially lethal damage to her child, which is surely a crime.

When he returned to the British Embassy, Knox was greeted by the Russian officer commanding the battalion. Knox rejected his profuse thanks, denouncing him for having to use women where Russian men refused to fight.

One of the strangest units ever seen. Rescued from Bolshevik captivity by Sir Alfred Knox who threatened Trotsky with informing โ€˜His Britannic Majestyโ€™ of Bolshevik misconduct.

I am very much looking forward to this one.

Moreover, by arguing with him you make clear to anyone else that such views are not acceptable. Homophobia, racism, misogyny etc all arise because young people hear such views going unchallenged.

A short time offer for my forthcoming book about Berlin 1945. Donโ€™t miss out!

Seriously though, I admire your patience and dedication to combating stupidity.

You do know that all these accounts are run by a bunch of us just to wind you up?

I remember a clip from the BBC radio show The News Quiz, about a woman who was arrested while dancing barefoot at night on the fresh grave of her ex, waving a bottle of champagne and singing, โ€˜Whoโ€™s sorry nowโ€™. Seems appropriate.

I sometimes wonder if this is an experiment to see just how mad he can sound and people will still just shrug and try to normalise him.

I am delighted to be invited to speak at this conference. I will tell the story of a spy scandal that rocked the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.

I absolutely endorse this and repeat it on behalf of myself and every author who has worked long and hard at their craft. If you do this, itโ€™s no different from taking my wallet and helping yourself to the contents.

Stop threatening us with a good time โ€ฆ

My candidate would be Patel Rennenkampf. Indeed, I suggest that he triggered such moustache envy that the result was the First World War.

Over dinner, we often play a game: the perfect dinner party list. Eight guests, anyone from history. One of my choices would be @sturdyalex.bsky.social for his storytelling, compassion, warmth, and wit. If you havenโ€™t discovered @alexpodyssey.bsky.social, you really should do.

Or should it be the Hastings of Battle?

I am so looking forward to things like this. Less than three weeks to the big move.
