Only a few days till the launch of my patent Naked-me-holding Naked Me.

I can barely contain myself.

I have developed quite an affection for the 🤣 emoji. It’s awful but enthusiastic.

My hatred for 🤔, however, remains undimmed.

20yo: *sleeps in a bin, head squashed between two restless hedgehogs, legs attached to helicopters rotating in contrary motion – no ill effects*

60yo: *sleep is disturbed by the landing of a blue tit feather on left ankle – leg falls off, neck feels like it’s trapped in a vice for three weeks*

Wisdom is an albatross.
She is 75.
She’s just come back to her breeding site, ready to go for the 25/26 season.
Respect.

me: yes
werner herzog: is it clive

Here we go... Look out for the full video of me as my character, Cleaveskull, coming soon. Please repost this with wild abandon, and pre-order the book. Paperback pre-orders should be along before too long.

Fond memories of the time on the old place when a guy called me a grifter “writing books for cash” for writing a book with an extremely loosely Japanese connection, before launching on a jaw-dropping racist rant about the Japanese (genuinely featured the words “cruel race” iirc)
Gone, but not forgotten

Listening to a thing and someone’s just mentioned Calvin and that was a very confusing thirty seconds before I realised they weren’t talking about the kid

Every year I stop myself from posting “now look here you lot, my books would make an excellent Christmas present” in October because it’s way too early, and then I forget until it’s way too late.

Hope I’ve hit the sweet spot this time.

I amuse you, Charlie Brown? I make you laugh, Charlie Brown? Funny how, Charlie Brown?
Forget it, Charlie Brown, it’s Chinatown, Charlie Brown.
You’re a sick fuck, Charlie Brown.

This is a week away. Will be good possibly.
A bit more on this podcast and how it is meant to operate. This is kind of a new idea (I think) so it might not work. It might, though. I think you'll like the story, regardless.
