Bit tired of living through major historical events


(No DMs if we've not engaged on main site)
I fail to see the downside to this
Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

#Throwback to milk inspector Korbessa urging Keeper Joseph along – those bottles won't make themselves! What began as a one-off extra serving of milk turned into a daily expectation. The boys in the herd don’t even bother asking – they know that bonus bottle belongs to her: swt.bio/korbessa

I'm a debut author with a romantasy novel out now!

Princess Rhiannon was meant to marry a dragon. Her father engages her to a knight instead. The dragon seems like the better option.

She runs away, meets a bard, and the rest you'll have to read to find out! 😉

My wife is an illustrator who does a lovely range of seasonal and nature themed cards, prints, teatowels (sometimes with awful puns I have repeatedly failed to veto). All her illustrations are hand-drawn and coloured. She also does commissions, with custom maps being a speciality: www.coostie.co.uk

I’ve brought back the ‘80s BASIC type-in mag, but for HTML!
It’s a glossy, professionally-illustrated thing with 10 genuinely interesting programs, great gift for computer nerds (but you don’t need any coding experience)

Hi John! I'm a debut author and my new fantasy novel 'Atlantis: Children of the Gods' has just come out - would be a great gift for any mythology nerds. A reimagining of Plato's lost continent full of Gods, monsters and spooky shamanic powers:

Recommendations please - need a shit-hot audio editor who’s done immersive audio comedy at a professional level. Podcasts / radio etc. For a paid audio project that requires a lot of fun sound design to a very high standard!
