I wonder if the police ever got round to arresting Virginia Woolf for boarding the Dreadnaught in 1910? They were probably too woke even then.

Perhaps one useful way of marking Remembrance Sunday/Tuesday is to learn how to pronounce Polish names. It's not as hard as it looks & is much easier than the grammar.

The damage that Trump & George W. Bush did to the reputation of thick people is almost irreparable. We must not forgive them.

US francophobia is one of the worst versions of francophobia around
President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"
Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

If it says it's from Christopher Guyver, it's definitely not from me as I hate helping people
There’s another wave of author impersonators offering consultations/mentoring for a price. (I got one from “Claire Keegan” telling me I’m very promising!) I’m sure you are great, but I didn’t email to tell you how swell you are. Here’s info on book scams: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/prh-fraud/

Imagine praising a book in 2025 for being "sparse"? Look I enjoy sparse prose as much as the next, but we've been in a decades long Sparse Race of prose that you can increasingly just inhale like a delicate mousse and at some stage we will have to start making adjectives cool again
