If you're in London or thereabouts on July 17 I'll be at Foyles Bookshop recording a @backlisted.bsky.social podcast with @iammilliam.bsky.social, @johnmitchinson.bsky.social & Agatha Christie expert Caroline Crampton. The book we'll be discussing is Christie's brilliant late work, Endless Night.

It appears Americans don't fully understand our use of Piss so I have compiled this handy guide, you're welcome
![To piss = to urinate
To piss off = to annoy OR to leave
A piss = a wee
A piece of piss = an easy task
(Lanky) streak of piss = a tall person
Piss off = go away OR who are you kidding
Piss off?? = You are joking??
Pissed off = annoyed OR left a place
Pissed off to = went to a place
Pissed oneself = laughed a lot
Pissed it down = it's raining hard
Pisses all over [thing] = is better than [thing]
Pissed out [everywhere] = a liquid leak of ferocity
Pissed = drunk](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7u5dovskuzgtrk7iw3uaarst/bafkreideo5njcjy6fssaehmflrvhalnxgp4e6ezrzpyuptfpleemmpldmm@jpeg)

Finally got round to starting Slow Horses last night. Love that it has Jack Lowden in it. He was great in The Gold but I couldn’t like him because he was playing Kenneth Noye.

First lot of wrapping to do so watching The Bishop’s Wife (Loretta not Whitney). Can’t believe it’s a year since I watched it. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if I watched it (and the many other essential Christmas films on my list) in July.
