Take solace in the fact that however bad you are at your job, at least you didn’t proofread this manual.

Two sentences and two things wrong. AI ain’t all that.

Very excited to announce that the fifth Stranger Times book is now up for preorder. It's the Christmas book the world needs - by which I mean it starts with a triple murder and gets even more festive from there. Ho Ho homicide! thestrangertimes.co.uk/ring-the-bells/

Cheered meself up no end with a lie-in on my day off to finish reading the excellent C. K. McDonnell's @caimhmc.bsky.social latest #StrangerTimes offering 'Relight My Fire'. Grand.

Huge thanks to @caimhmc.bsky.social for dropping by and signing copies of his THE STRANGER TIMES series including the latest instalment RELIGHT MY FIRE. We love these books and if you haven’t discovered them yet, now’s the perfect time! Available in both Romiley and Stockport branches.

Hi Australia and New Zealand! After a sell-out tour in 2024, I'm back this April/May with an extended tour of This is Going to Hurt. Tickets from www.adamkay.co.uk#australia-nz... Oh, and Singapore too!

Please no spoilers for the finale of the traitors. I know they’ve all been pardoned and released from prison but I don’t know which one is getting their own show on Fox News yet.

Just finished @caimhmc.bsky.social latest audiobook and loved it. As always I'm very pleased with the quality accessible material that Caimh and Morgan C Jones create.

Caimh McDonnell will be a guest of Honour at Jodiworld this May. If you haven't tried his books yet I urge you to do so!

This little beauty is the Kindle deal of the day on Amazon UK today. A perfect entry point into the wild world of Bunny McGarry. Tell a friend, enemy, weirdo on the bus. Some deals are too good to keep to yourself. geni.us/AngelsintheM...

The hardest thing I've ever tried to do is a spoiler-free explanation of "Welcome To Nowhere" by @caimhmc.bsky.social because I really, really want everyone I meet to read it or even better listen to the audio book narrated by the amazing Morgan C. Jones. whitehairedirishman.shop/en-ca/produc...

Whilst I’m recommending books I’d also hugely recommend the badly named Dublin Trilogy (currently on about book 8 I think) by @caimhmc.bsky.social - you can get the first 4 books on Kindle for £4.99 and they are ace. I’ve read everything Caimh has written and they’re fantastic fun.

I'm doing Vagueanuary. l've given something up. I'm just not sure what.

My first 2 Specials are on E4Extra tonight at 9pm and 10pm if you have that channel and fancy a laugh.

Ain’t doing a year in review but here’s my rear in ya view.

I won’t have the chance to get back to all 538 of you individually so can I just say to every company I’ve ever bought anything off ever, happy new year to you too - please take me off the mailing list.

Bunnymafia - you’ve got mail. A brand new and free Bunny McGarry short story just landed in your inbox featuring a non-answer to a burning question and a certain assistant manager reaching for the stars.

Am spending crimbo in bed with a bugger of a cold and I managed to buy my wife tickets to not one but two gigs she’d already got herself tickets to. This is like a supervillain’s backstory.

Bunnymafia alert! There's a Crimbo surprise on its way but you'll only get it if you're on the mailing list so go to Whitehairedirishman.com and sign up if you haven't already. Clue: rhymes with Snort gory. Also, it might not answer a certain arm wrestling question.

Found a new favorite author I need to be a research assistant doing testing for this #lifegoals #strangertimes @caimhmc.bsky.social

Finally proof that Irish food is just better.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Can’t wait to get stuck into this by the incredible @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk - Terry Pratchett and now Nirvana, the dude has range!

Another #bookoftheyear from my favourite comic series of recent times, Relight My Fire from @caimhmc.bsky.social came out in January. As well as the humour and storytelling in each book, the characters, relationship, the world around The Stranger Times develop so well through the series. #booksky

People have accused me of stealing neck braces but whatever they say about me I’m going to hold my head up high.

Just finished Fortunate Son by @caimhmc.bsky.social. Laughs & tears. Couldn’t put it down.

The ultimate and absolute failure of capitalism as a concept is perfectly encapsulated in the fact that despite everything, EVRI still exists as a company.

You Only Live Twice is on the telly. Bond has been in Japan for about two minutes and he’s already at a Sumo match. If he did a mission in Britain, he’d be at the National Beefeater Conference straight away, fighting off a huge Town Crier who was trying to kill him with a sharpened garden gnome.

Hey @caimhmc.bsky.social I just finished this and it was SO GOOD! Looking forward to book 9 of this trilogy

💙📚 #24for24 #favouritebooksof2024 3 - Relight My Fire - @caimhmc.bsky.social The Stranger Times quickly became one of my favourite series, as the paper investigates the weirder side of Manchester (no, the REALLY weird side. No, not that one.) New to the series, start at The Stranger Times.

Importing the archive: The New Scientist is the only source of band names you’ll ever need. #newscientistbandnames

#218 Fortunate Son by the hilarious @caimhmc.bsky.social. Bunny’s back, in London this time, and what ensues is just as chaotically funny as you’d hope for. Just brilliant 📚💙

I refuse to make jokes about what my testicles look like in middle age as I consider them to be low hanging fruit.
