Weather arctic. Seas septic. Companions acerbic. Food bubonic. Wish you were here.

Mr Rodway from Rodway and Watson.

Excellent. I think you can buy that now.

Marjorie Antrobus and her 'girls'...

Gotta build your brand.

Don't they fight anymore? When I saw them in action they were kicking and shoulder charging one another.

All Aboard - Rail Fans' Author Panel - "The most magical little bookshop" Please book early for this event. Tickets are £5 and redeemable against a copy of either Tom's or Nige's book purchased on the night.

North-easterners!

Later this month, on the 200th anniversary of passenger train travel (to the day!), I'll be heading to Stockton – the original final destination of that first journey – to talk trains with Tom Chesshyre at Drake the Bookshop. Do come!

For all you lovers of brilliant record titles, I give you Harry Secombe's Parisian concept piece – Comme Secombe Ça

So ething to do with Memorial Device, surely? There was a team that ran out to a Sun Ra Arkestra track, but can't recall who.

@camsell59.bsky.social I love books about cycling this is brilliant only discovered it when nige tassell posted about it previously-thank you for the joy.

Ah, thanks, Sally. That's lovely to hear. Really glad you liked it.

Cricket's Diego Maradona.

Thanks. As I recall my editor suggested it because he'd just read Joe Queenan's Hollywood book, which has one.

Seeing this and thinking of @camsell59.bsky.social, of course.

You could also be 'at Oxford' if you are passing through it on a journey.

Happy three-month birthday to Final Destination, my first travel book.

'A beautifully observed and sympathetic tour of modern Britain,' said that man @quantick.bsky.social.

If you're not getting away this summer, let these country-wide rail trips make you feel like you have.

Today on It Was What It Was, the football history podcast, Don Revie changes the culture at Leeds, takes them into the top flight, and rails against being called 'dirty'.

I stand corrected. Glad you don't deny wearing silky shorts, though ;)

You have caught me like a Treen in a disabled spacecraft

A page from the first Molesworth book. The text reads: “ST CUSTARD'S: BY THE CAMERA CLUB grabber who is head of the skool captane of everything and winer of he mrs joyful prize for rafia work. His pater is very rich and hav a super rolls enuff said. He is bigger than me so i must be careful. Our skool dog thinking. He is planning to dash across the pitch and pinch the criket ball then bite the umpire in the leg which was super. He is not bad but he scored a gole against us in one match.” The two illustrations are by Ronald Searle. Grabber is every bit as you would expect: haughty, disdainful, holding a football under his arm. The skool dog has the furtive air of one about to pinch the criket ball ect ect chiz chiz

I’m rereading Molesworth and its panacean qualities remain undimmed.

Three league games and an FA Cup tie, so far up here...

Thanks, Nige. Glad you enjoyed it.

Atmosphere perfectly conveyed by @camsell59.bsky.social as usual.

Loved @camsell59.bsky.social's piece in WSC about why we keep turning up to Pre-Season friendlies. Every single time I go to a Norwich or Stowmarket one I leave saying I'll never go to a friendly again, yet at least once a year I end up politely applauding at some half pace match or another

Top work. Will likely bump into you at some point.

It's great isn't? I grew up in North Yorkshire and he captures the people perfectly.

Lovely reminder from @camsell59.bsky.social about Jarrow Roofing and Jan, the tea lady / PA announcer, on the latest WSC pod. Also, phantom goal announcements, fancy sweets, a fantastic Bobby Stokes anecdote and zero mentions of PSR or transfer windows: www.listennotes.com/podcasts/whe...

@camsell59.bsky.social congrats on the success of your book. 13 million sales is quite something.
