Nerdtastic moment…the brilliant author, linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne, one of the world’s leading experts on slang, just told me he used my book in court as the published source to back up his expert witness statement. And they won. I feel like a proper grown-up at last.

It’s Monday…here’s something uplifting to start the week…Max Ehrmann's Desiderata.
And if you don't want to read the whole thing, take my favourite line away with you: "With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."
