I love Kurt Vonnegut, Sue Townsend and cats - so I would love this. I am also thus far lacking this book in my Tom Cox collection.

Roscoe with 1983 and a postcard of her which depicts her looking unusually cheery

The rear cover of 1983

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

Because we don’t live in a matriarchal society. He was always in control. She pandered to his male entitlement because she’s vulnerable and damaged by men. Her father was crappy and the media, which is run my men hounded her when she was very young. She has every right to hate men right now.

There’s people on the Guardian site having a wetty about an obviously made up scenario about someone’s flatmates leaving the bins out on the pavement. yes I am reading all the comments of these gullible fools.

Almost burst into tears with how Howard Jones was featured in the new Alan Partridge. Then continued my cackling thereafter.

I just watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time tonight. I want to give it all up and nest in Meg Ryan’s 80’s hair.

When you try and exit the system or just some part of it some people will give you shit because yes they are brainwashed and defending the system for reasons even they don’t understand. Always love seeing that photo btw.

Uff I know. Tim Henman is the worst. Every time he says Alcarath he sounds so pleased with himself.

Oh God the dreaded French chant has been heard on centre court #wimbledon nooooooo!

I can’t believe they let Muck Hicknall get on stage at Glastonbury. #glasto

Aargh The Prodigy! They changed my life in Brighton 1996! How can they still be so fresh almost 30 years later? #glasto

Oh cool, Pulp are on at least. #glasto

“The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams.” -Terence McKenna. I know there’s great music out there but for some reason #glasto is pushing mediocrity and nostalgia. (£). I expected more. Haunted by the promise of the 90’s I guess.

Do You Think It's Sexy? Rod Stewart Live At The O2 | The Quietus Rod Stewart live photograph by Lawrence Matheson It’s axiomatic that any review should tell you more about the artist and the event than it should the reviewers. Every letters page and comment box wil...

(2)…mainstream was it not?) then it’s quite depressing. Rod Stewart FFS? He’s about as edgy as a blancmange. Worse than that he supports Nigel Farage! Reminded me of this grim review of him at the O2 by Tariq Goddard and Carl Neville.

I know it’s not the done thing to moan about the state of Glastonbury if you’re an armchair observer channel hopping on iplayer trying to find something that isn’t anodyne… BUT if this is the state of what I thought was supposed to represent alternative culture (and Glasto was once mostly non

Good to see some decent kickass music at Glastonbury in the Osees. John Dwyer looks old suddenly! #glasto

Yesterday I turned a corner in my life and admitted to my lovely acting group that I now really enjoy doing the musicals. This is an example of what can happen when you quit boozing and you have to make your own fun. I know, it’s crazy… what happened to my cynicism? Anyway, here’s to jazz hands! 🤗

Despite knowing that Trump is “on the Epstein list” Musk was quite content to let his son board the Presidential helicopter with him. Before their spat. n that.

The Magic Porridge Pot was nightmare fuel.

I’m actually rooting for Djokovic, he was looking like the underdog for once! #rolandgarros

My thoughts exactly

Ultimately it comes down to viewership and advertising revenue. It’s always about money. But they would never say that.

That’s not the norm but they could schedule 2 women’s matches in an evening session but to be honest I prefer the possibility of a 5 set drama myself.

That was an unusually swift match for a men’s quarter final.

Huh? I’m not watching it on the telly but thanks for your input. I just wanna be served some good fucking tennis.

God, the tennis has been so boring since the epic Monfils vs Draper match. I think even the umpire is falling asleep in this Norrie vs Fearnly match. #rolandgarros

Pee Wee! Was not aware of that one.
