@garethlpowell Oh, nasty. I don’t know about Orwell, you definitely look like Baldrick balancing a slug on his lip in Blackadder Goes Forth in reply to garethlpowell #

Ireland! Ireland! Ireland! Long day, great victory. Could anyone deserve the Grand Slam more than O’Driscoll? Now Liverpool beat Villa #

Even though I liked some of the books, the Hugo novel shortlist feels more like a test of fannish following than a prize for best novel #
Oh, and Chelsea, why does it always have to be Chelsea! (I fancied a trip to Barcelona!) #
@Shineanthology Hmmm. Or it marks the end of net neutrality in Twitter – privileged access for those who can buy it, the slow lane for us in reply to Shineanthology #
@JeremiahTolbert @Shineanthology Well, yes, but more so this year? A problem for all pop awards – but BSFA can chuck a Harkaway now & then in reply to JeremiahTolbert #
Just got Toby Litt’s Journey Into Space from Amazon. Now that’s a satisfying book cover, fine work Chris Moore! Can the book live up to it? #
