Catchphrase: β€œThe study of religions is one of my many interests.”
You’ll need:

As the child of two teachers, I grew up with an acute awareness of how politicians would blame people like my parents for anything that they could not be fucking bothered lifting a finger to tackle themselves. Lazy bastards who won't do their own job lecturing others on how to do theirs.

That’s a cracking novel, one of her finest. I have one of those green viragos. Good idea to republish, maybe @dauntbookspub.bsky.social might add it to their Comyns portfolio?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Last minute offer.
Car has just gone kaput heading to Manchester to see the Beta Band at the Apollo.Back home safely now.

Anyway I’ve got 2 tickets if anyone wants them. Think I can just directly transfer them from the o2academy app.
Rather someone got to use them.

Stack of books I read in September. Usual mix of fiction, non-fiction, comics. Couple of Booker contenders.

I watched Licorice Pizza today and loved it. The running, the costumes, the music, the running, the performances, the water beds, the running. It’s full of love but complex, not sentimental. Ace.
