@pauljessup It has become the casual abuse word of choice for a particularly vile sort of pisspuffin. It is meant to imply privilege in age, which to those of us in heat or eat circumstances is insulting, meant to imply a support for the last 30 years of political mistakes which is enraging.

If you walk the half-paths of the Islands-in-the-Marsh, if you go searching for mud-embraced ships beneath omen skies, keep offerings in your pocket. There are things there that need appeasement – salt sprites, muck monsters, ghosts of those buried at death’s high-water. https://t.co/xpvjjgRTrd

@Skionar You know I am off the view that you should have at least two books on the go. One of those needs to be autobiography. It could be told as 60 scenes from unmade films. It could be told as 60 ghost stories, an unearthing of haunted pasts. But it needs to be told.

@KJSoar Carbonel King of the Cats. Witchcraft, cats and a superior take on English strange than other stories which get lumped in with Blyton. Give your inner seven-year old a hug with it. Give your inner eight-year old a hug with anything Penelope Lively.

“F4 have taken an interest in our case Nokes.” “F4?” “That grouping of Special Branch bastards who handle terrorism.” “Witches Against War aren‰Ûªt terrorists.” “Indeed, but Special Branch are thick as mince. They think WAW they are the new IRA.” – #DICallaghan #WitchWednesday
