Tax on people who ask bi/ pan people if they are indecisive or just greedy
Tax on people who ask mothers undertaking paid work outside the home, "who's looking after the children, then?"
Tax on people who go to lane swimming and then swim very slowly two abreast so they're hard to get round without swimming into people coming the other way, having a bit of a chat

US customers: contrary to what you might have heard, art and books from the UK are still TARIFF-FREE! Plus, all import duties are pre-paid by me, so you WON’T have to pay any extra!
It’s proving hard to get this message out there, so if you could please repost this. 🙏

Sorry to drop the C-bomb, but are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the dinosaur fan who has everything? How about a commission gift certificate? Stock of these is VERY limited, so if you want one, you know what to do! 🙂

It's Remembrance Sunday and let's remember that the black and brown people fought and died as part of the Allies too.
In my new novel - Nate Yu's Blast From the Past
I feature a ghost from the Chinese Labour Corp because it was important for me to tell readers about this often untold history.
