My wife broke up a fight between two crows. I have since informed her of the real scientific fact that crows can hold grudges. She is now wondering which one of the two is going to murder her.

As funny as this is I genuinely believe that the work you have created will lend you a type of immortality that only most can dream of. You deserve that. And the world deserves that.

Our offices are much closer than that but we are probably more likely to meet on EGS8p7 for a coffee.

I’m usually a very positive person, and I always try to see the good in life. But lately the world feels like it’s in a bad way, and it’s genuinely scary. I’ve never felt that before. I just have to believe kindness, and goodness will win through.

I’m very late to the party on this. I’ve just finished season 1 of Southland and I think it’s one of the best police procedural shows I’ve ever seen. It’s like The Shield , The Wire, Homicide Life on the Street and NYPD Blue all rolled into one.

Not for sale. Only City in the world that is twinned with itself. Nowhere else good enough.

I’m normally good at words. However I can’t make any work to describe what it feels like currently to be a Manchester United Supporter.

My mother wants to know what show it is ? 😀

was at the cinema over Christmas to see Saipan. first time to the cinema in two years. Much harder to get there these days. Local cinema has been refurbished with reclining seats and superb surround sound. I had forgotten what an experience the cinema is. Can’t wait to go again in another two years

Killing Eve. Wonderfully sublime.

The real life story of the author and her twin sister Jennifer is both fascinating and desperately sad. Documentary and docufilm made of their lives called “ The Silent Twins”
The book kind of reminds me
A bit of the writing of B.S. Johnson who is a writer I greatly admire.

Sis got me this for Christmas. ( my request ). At one stage only 5 libraries in the world had a copy. is absolutely the strangest book I have ever read. The first line of the book is “ He walked into the turbulent supermarket”. some experience. short book but a book that I am still thinking about

Happy annual how are you Tom greeting.

I gifted 9 copies of it to friends at Christmas. I’ve purchased at least 65 copies of it at this
Stage.

Hey Pal. Hope you are well xx

A question for writers. When you take a break how long does it last ? And as a follow-up do you think the longer the break the harder it is to knuckle down ? Asking for a friend 👀

Glad to hear this Hannah. Hope you are well x

Hi Tom. Haven’t been on here for months but just wanted to say hello and hope all is well !

Two couples bumped into each other in a taxi line, kickstarting a friendship of almost 40 years | CNN Brits Tony and Karen were feeling lost on vacation. Americans Alan and Mary Beth stepped in. A years-long friendship was born.

Here is a pinch of positivity. I’ve just read the story and I think it is just lovely. Such a gentle nice story a tribute to the belief that people are in general nice and strive for connection

Well we did ye a favour tonight. Partially.

47 trips around the sun. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life comes down to family and the capacity to be kind. My birthday wish? That we all try a little harder to be kinder. Love to all.❤️❤️

That’s really good.

Alan. Come on.

Did you just wake up and it was just there ?

3 years work. Finally finished. That will do Pig. That will do.

This is such the best news. I joked you years ago that I was going to make this happen but I can’t take any credit for it ! A whole new generation of kids will discover your beautiful book. That must be the most wonderful feeling x

The twins do in the kitchen but only to play Abba and the Vengaboys. It’s hell.

You turned me on to Sayaka Murata I’m excited about that one.

Thanks so much for that !!!
