This personally was very sad news, my favourite author, and as many tributes have said, much more than just a 'spy novelist', he was a great storyteller and chronicler of post-war Britain, in particular Englishness and the decaying ruling class.


''The rats have taken over the ship''


Fascinating man who led a fascinating life.

Rest In Peace JLC...

Tommy Docherty. One time manager of Manchester United and had an exciting young team in the 70's. Reminded me one one of my favourite matches of that era.

There a programme on Radio 4 tomorrow at 20:00 about his life. I suppose deciding to become an Irish citizen was his best way of showing how much his disapproved of Brexit.

Yep, listened to it, he was definitely giving two fingers to Brexit.

And he was spot on about the difference between patriotism and nationalism...

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By Robert Williams · Posted

      I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here

      Dead cat found in our garden

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
