Looking forward to World Fantasy Convention next month!

Why did Count Dracula land in Whitby and not Scotland? He was scared of Glaswegian kids with knives.

Egg boxes don't get enough credit. Only a thin bit of cardboard and yet you hardly ever find a broken egg in one. Buy a pen online and it comes in a massive box wrapped in bubblewrap.

This is how it's done. Spain is laying down a marker on Israeli participation in the World Cup. www.sportbible.com/football/foo...

Can't think why this popped into my head today. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...

Police arresting suspected terrorists do not allow them to negotiate a calm trip to the police station.

Watched Meg 2, The Trench. Thought of a perfect way to wrap up the Jurassic Park series of films. We need a crossover movie where Jason Statham is transported back in time 66 million years ago and causes the extinction of the original dinosaurs.

I’m really chuffed, and honoured that my latest novel, The Rigel Redemption - featuring my dysfunctional duo Quirk & Moth - has reach the semifinals of the Small Spec Books Awards! 😮

DID GARFIELD EAT THAT KID?????

This Brit nails it. #Immigration

Everyone deserves a cheese bunker.

My bad. Meant Qatar. I should have checked myself, but now I know they also had a World Cup in Russia.

I hereby request FIFA to remove all World Cup matches from the United States.

Nobody is on Film4. Watch Nobody.

Civil wars were very polite affairs. Hence they were civil.

Wales now on a longer winning streak than SA.

Someone is putting up signposts to fa it’s places in Glasgow. CS Lewis: www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/s/... Tolkien: www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/s/... Apparently there is a Starwars one in Kelvingeove park?

We can but hope.

Americans always be like 'Scottish blood runs in my veins like the clear loch waters of the Highlands. I feel my warrior clan deep within me, gazing out over the mountains. My great great grandfather was from Cumbernauld'

“If we have learned one thing from Troy - and I do not think we have - it is that forging alliances with bullies and butchers may seem like the greatest path to safety now, but in the long run it will absolutely wound you.” Penelope in House of Odysseus, by Claire North

Pretty sure this kid's founding an empire one day.

The biggest lie the devil ever told was selling fake Scottish history to the Scots. (Okay maybe not, but it's close)

Concept for my next ren faire costume - I have no idea if I can pull it off, but I’ve got 10 months, and I’m feeling ambitious ✨ Plus, I’ve always wanted to try making armour!

So now JKR is attacking Fife NHS Scotland Health Board, with the full support of the local media, always keen to undermine NHS Scotland. She has no shame. Horrible, Horrible woman. I feel for all the great folk working in NHS Fife. Not you Peggie.

Wizard of Oz (1939): A hapless teen suffering from head trauma is led down the wrong path to cosplay, heroin, organ harvesting and ultimately, homicide.

I've seen this movie. It doesn't end well. share.google/ri0TEmNxgMRU...

Ah yes, for was it not Jesus who said "Fuck your neighbour, you gotta look out for number one, baby"?

Thursday

I can’t quite believe this, but I’ve been shortlisted for the World Fantasy Awards for Best Artist for work in 2024! The awards will be announced at WFC in Brighton on Sunday 2nd November 2025. Ahhh!! worldfantasy2025.co.uk/world-fantas...

A sudden thought. If the devil wore a wig would it be a hell toupée

Same day

It’s only “great bants” if it’s from the Bant region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling repartee

I've been sitting on this for a while but I've been given the go ahead to start talking about this. My story will be appearing on @podcastle.org at the end of July! I'm so excited. More details soon, but I'll just tease you with the title: "Godzilla as a Young Man Named Mike".

Mon the bears!

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Does anyone know what the fuck they're doing?

So familiar... 😂
