Just thought I'd ruin the song 'Mary' by Scissor Sisters for you... When he sings "waiting for the time to **P**ass", he pops the microphone. There. Can't unhear it now.

Good morning, North America! Exciting news…. the Map Men book ‘This Way Up - When Maps Go Wrong’ is available from TODAY from USAan and Canadian book shops! lnk.to/mapmen

YAAAAYY!!!! My brother Beardyman has today released the FULL VERSION of the ‘I’m Bending My Legs the Wrong Way’ song that he let us use 20 seconds of at the end of the last Map Men video. (I think this is the greatest thing he has ever done) youtu.be/wzJeNQcaUPM

Sunday Times Bestseller! Well this is just lovely news. Thank you to everyone who has bought This Way Up. You're all the best. Here's us holding the book in front of some globes for no reason. @jayforeman.bsky.social @harpercollins.bsky.social

Just when I thought the Map Men book couldn’t be any more up my street, I turn the page & there’s a chapter on the ITV regional franchises. 🤩 @jayforeman.bsky.social @markcooperjones.bsky.social

Absolutely *delighted* to see the Map Men's book This Way Up has gone straight into the charts. It's brilliant and the bigger the "funny cartography and geopolitics" segment of the market gets the better, to my mind

@jonnelledge.bsky.social Hooray! Both our books are in today’s Times. 1. Sorry the photo’s cropped. My dad whatsapped it to me. 2. The typo might be good news if it means Times readers get ten more borders than they were expecting.

Don’t forget to tune into Channel 5 immediately to watch @markcooperjones.bsky.social and me on the Jeremy Vine show to talk about the Map Men Book!

Mark and I love wrong maps so much, that we’ve decided to turn to the best source for them - the Great British Public! Meet us tomorrow 11am-3pm at Vinegar Yard (near London Bridge) where HarperCollins have put on a fun interactive event, to help us create the worst possible map of the world!

@jackbern.bsky.social Are there any stats to prove whether parents make better Taskmaster contestants?

Due to an administrative error, all copies of the Map Men book ‘This Way Up - When Maps Go Wrong’ are being displayed with the arrow pointing down. Please, if you see our book in any bookshop over the next few weeks, can you turn it the right way up? Many thanks! (Foyles, London. Fixed! ✅)

Hats off to @markcooperjones.bsky.social for eating chapter six.

IT'S OUT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎊🎉🎈 (sound on, please)

Spotted in Dalston! (The book comes out tomorrow! Eeeeeee!!!!)

Had great fun recording this podcast with @markcooperjones.bsky.social about how we go about writing Map Men.

Edinburgh, Bristol and London are sold out. But there are still tickets available for Leeds and/or Manchester. So if you’re a northerner, and you’ve got nothing better to do, come say hello!

Come for the interesting facts about Dutch land reclamation. Stay for our tribute to the best advert ever aired on British television. (Starts at 4:23) youtu.be/eq-kgUpd-5E

Anyone else think the creepy ‘Til I’m Home’ song from the end of the Jungle Book sounds a bit like Willow’s Song from the Wicker Man?

Can anyone work out from this quintuple negative whether this is good news or bad news?

NEW EPISODE OF MAP MEN!!! 🗺️ How did the Netherlands delete the sea... and get rich? Share and enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq-k...

THERE IT IS!!!! 😃 Thank you @optimalcynic.bsky.social. Sometimes I love the internet.

I have a very specific memory of a thing from TV from about 1992-1994…? that’s very hard to Google. It was a show like Tomorrow’s World. Possibly Tomorrow’s World, but I seem to remember it being a Tomorrow’s World knock off, like How Do They Do That? Either way, it was BBC1 on a weekday evening.

I think “driveway” and “parkway” are named the wrong way round.

Fuck.

Last chance to buy the Map Men book HALF PRICE today from Amazon Prime! ⏰

This is very temporary! If you like paying half price for things, I’d do this as now as possible if I were you. (No pressure)

Reader, I bought that book

Another impulse buy. But inevitably a good one.

Ssssh.... don't tell anyone.... but if you buy the Map Men Book today from Amazon Prime, it's HALF PRICE! www.amazon.co.uk/This-Way-Up-...

@tiernandouieb.bsky.social Just thought I’d let you know my son just told me The Monster Badge is his favourite episode of Hey Duggee.

For reasons that will become clear when the next episode of #MapMen comes out at the end of October, we’ve got a very unusual leftover prop - an enormous, cold, unseasoned but totally edible roast pork. What delicious things could we do with it?

RIP Patricia. youtu.be/k7KmDeB2kfI?...

I don’t care if there’s an easier way.

You haven’t thought about the song No Such Thing by John Mayer in 20 years.

MAP CHALLENGE!! 🗺️ Make this map fairer. Redraw the boundaries so each book signing serves roughly the same sized population.

Oh c’mon. Give peas a chance.

What’s your favourite song from a Disney film about lowering your standards in order to achieve happiness, with an emphasis on connecting with nature, that gets interrupted by a spoken-word section specifically about eating insects? Hakuna Matata or the Bare Necessities?

"You don’t fight the politics of violence by quibbling with the details. You stamp it into a million pieces! You draw a f*cking line!" If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

Want to ask me or @markcooperjones.bsky.social literally any question and we have to answer? Here is a handy map of the UK split into five zones according to which is your nearest location on our This Way Up BOOK TOUR in October. 🗺️📕 mapmen.lnk.to/BOOKTOUR
