I'm not going to self-censor my Twitter bio to remove my Tusker handle.
I've been here a long time and given Twitter a whole bunch of stuff. I've benefited in return. But that's not going to work with the bird in a cage.

Indeed. Existing clients are prioritised.
> What many people don’t realise is that agents are in it for the long haul ⏲️⏳
Similarly, apparently, those submitting sample material to agents.

Always had time for everyone. Cherished because she produced the first book I sold to TV as a baby agent. So gracious.
RIP Beryl Virtue, role model, trailblazer and aperson whom I respected and adored. What a mind, what a spirit, what a life.

The 4th of January is bitter-sweet anniversary.
In 2004, just before she died Joan Aiken was able to complete the final work of The Wolves Chronicles, a wry self portrait - The Witch of Clatteringshaws - and a farewell letter to her readers.

I live in a basement flat with a light well/patio which sometimes trap mice if they fall in accidentally. If I don’t notice them, they sometimes die of hunger so I made a mouse escape rope ladder. My latest @Raspberry_Pi project using motioneye shows it works.

Remembering Jean Charles de Menezes shot dead by police on the underground 15 years ago today - the family still seek justice and accountability - now asking why their campaign spied on by undercover police

I very much see Johnson as King Cnut commanding the second wave not to come, the differences being 1 the real Cnut did so knowingly to demonstrate the limits of his power, and 2 they didn't have spell checks in those days.

To take a knee for our anthem is to deeply respect the flag and what it stands for. Just as we sit quietly with bowed head beside the hospital bed of a mortally sick loved one. For a racist to stand before our flag with hand on heart is the true act of disrespect.

I desperately want to reopen, but this rush to do so is a mistake. People will only come back when they feel safe and forcing the issue will put a lot of cinemas out of business. I suppose that is of no concern to the Really Big Owner Of All The Cinemas inc.

Impossible not to hear this in the voice of Les Dawson.
'I realised I was every young guy’s fantasy – an attractive, high-flying woman, who wasn’t interested in children, marriage, or even a relationship.
'So began a sexual odyssey with young men aged 19 to 30-odd that would change the course of my life'
