Wise advice on public notices #21 (National Portrait Gallery, London).

Sorry to hear that. Not fun. Give yourself time to get properly better.

Twin Peaks was the GOAT. Do love Detectorists though!

Would you be surprised, if I told you that the Witchfinder General is still a UK Government appointed position?
That HM Office of the Witchfinder General (OWG) is headquartered in 13 Downing Street (only accessible through 12 Downing Street or via a secret tunnel from 10 Downing Street)?

The latest book in Simon Kewin’s Witchfinder series, The Order of The British Vampire, is out today.

Fuck, yeah!

His name was Merlin, too. Much missed.

We had a black cat that once jumped on my desk, walked across the keyboard typing “666” then jumped down. I was kinda pleased!

Just a quick self-serving reminder that the number of reviews a book gets drastically affects that book's visibility on sites such as Amazon. So if you want to support your favourite authors, maybe post a sentence or two about their latest book. They'll love you for it.

As we did our live stream yesterday we don't have a Sunday video today - however, do not despair fiction fans! We instead are delighted to bring you the latest chapter of Realm Raiders, written by the marvellous @rachel-v-green.bsky.social. spotlightindie.co.uk/2025/07/20/r...

I don’t disagree - but that was an obvious danget of such a flawed and absurd parliamentary decision.

The police have been put in an impossible position by an absurd decision by MPs.

It’s not your chair. It’s his chair.

Yup.

No, it’s when you ask for coffee and you get what they think is coffee*.

(*It probably is possible to get a decent, strong cup of coffee somewhere in the US. I just never have.)

I do so enjoy spotting another plot hole while I’m busily fixing a different one.*

*I don’t really.
