An *excellent* habit ๐Ÿ˜‚. I read a clearly copy and gave it a glowing review of course! People will really enjoy it โค๏ธ

And one guy is double nominated for the same category! Best supporting actor one I thinkโ€ฆ has that ever happened before in the same award/year?

Iโ€™m the same. I tend to run away from what theyโ€™re plugging.

Browsing old Instagram posts of mine, I found this photo I took in 2018 on a visit to Washington DC, back when this was the Kennedy Centreโ€ฆ simpler, better times. One can only hope we find our way back to this.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mailย 
ย 
I would ratherย 
eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,ย 
blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,ย 
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,ย 
than read one page of the Daily Mail.ย 
ย 
If I was boredย 
in a waiting room in Perivale,ย 
on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,ย 
halfway through a circumnavigational sail,ย 
I would not read the Daily Mail.ย 
ย 
I would happily readย 
the autobiography of Dan Quayle,ย 
1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,ย 
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
if it meant I didnโ€™t have to read the Daily Mail.ย 
ย 
Far better toย 
stand outside in a storm of hail,ย 
scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,ย 
be swallowed by a humpback whale,ย 
than have to read the Daily Mail.ย 
ย 
If I was blind ย 
and it was the only thing in Braille,ย 
I still would not read the Daily Mail.ย

I respect peopleโ€™s right and desire to strike, but I donโ€™t think I ever would myself, as I just donโ€™t think it gets results. Usually pisses off the public whose support you want.

A colleague the other day was listening to Gangsterโ€™s Paradise on a playlist. I was at high school then, and realised my colleague wasnโ€™t even born then.

Never felt so ancient!

If itโ€™s easier, I can email say a publisher, for them to forward on? I presume you donโ€™t have a generic email or a contact us on a website or anything?

Only other thing I can think of it if I subscribe to your newsletter (which I really should have done by now), if that would show you my email?
