I received this very scary e-mail this morning:
Obviously, I’m deeply troubled by it.
But more amused by the fact that the above shows the subject line; the e-mail had no content whatsoever.
I’m beginning to wonder if the phishy-spamsters are losing their mojo.
Ahem.
Anyway, I was lucky enough to read a draft of the book, and it was a cracking read, and the author assures me that he’s done further polishing on it since, so it’s probably even sharper now.
So, get thee to Amazon, and for less than the price of a large coffee (ie: £3.08), you can get yourself a slice of fiction*. What’s not to like?
The cover’s pictured here, and this is the link to click on: Designer Devil – Stuart Peel
Go on, give yourself a present. You know you want to.
*You don’t need a Kindle to be able to read it, there are Kindle ‘apps’ for mobile phones and PCs and the like. I know, this ‘living in the 21st century’ lark, it’s nifty, isn’t it?
… but don’t tell me you wouldn’t have giggled like a fool when you saw this item on the shelf of a French-themed grocery store:
I really like this – at heart it’s one of those jokes which is so blindingly obvious that it should have been done to death over the years, but I can’t recall ever having seen it before (and I’m decades old, I remember the first time people used to connect their computers to their TVs).
Anyway, here it be – nicely done and very well played, I think you’ll agree…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted ‘booktwins’ here on the blog, but this pairing strikes me as pretty blatant.
They’re presented in what I believe to be chronological order, if you know what I’m saying…
Hmm.
Spotted on the rather literally-named Hilly Fields Park in South London yesterday afternoon, this splendid chap was making enormous swathes of bubbles for the delight of passing children (and adults):
It was a pet shop, obviously.
But because I am immature beyond belief, it made me laugh.
I know, I know: this is how I choose to mark my return to blogging?
Tch.
Hello.
I know, I know, it’s been ages. How have you been? Good, I hope.
Anyway, just dropping by to mention that I do genuinely absolutely positively intend to be blogging a lot more regularly – as ever, I’m brimful of opinions (mainly ill-informed) about various forms of media and news events and whatever else skitters across my eyeline and makes me feel the urge to comment.
If you’re dying for some insight into the current contents of my head, I’m fairly active on Twitter here, and of course if you need to contact me directly, my info’s in the column to the right.
So: back soon, but in the meantime, I recommend tea.

Dunno about you, but I like a good mountain.
And, of course, a correspondingly good sky above it.
