@paulmilham Nice way to start your birthday morning.

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@paulmilham Congrats to her. Have a son who’s aiming for the same, a few years behind yet though.

@paulmilham One’s a cultural desert and the other is Australia!

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@RebeccaRideal Absolutely but apparently the British empire was a benevolent force for good, according to some.

@RebeccaRideal I know it’s about Ireland but could summarise the English approach to all of it’s various 'acquisitions'

Wonderful booksellers who I can definitely recommend, please go spend all your money there.

[Fox Lane Books 🦊 @foxlanebooks]

We’ve lost 300+ followers now (and counting) which is so sad because Twitter as it was helped make our little indie bookshop and also saved it on many occasions. The truth is that about 80% of our sales came through this platform, but with #BookTwitter diminishing as people (understandably) leave we’ve noticed a significant drop in sales. We’re on Threads, Blue Sky and Insta which are much nicer, but they don’t appear to be very good for generating sales. So, a plea… if you know of anyone staying here that would appreciate a mostly online, indie, woman-owned, family-run bookshop that specialises in #signed books, regularly donates to charity, brings you exciting author events in and around Yorkshire, and always has a #SALE section, then please can you recommend us to them? And we have cats! See Maui and Baobao below 🧡🦊

@paulmilham Don’t let the cat in the rugby club showers then.

@RevRichardColes Ocular determinism.

@paulmilham The SA v Fra game shows how far off we are, pace and power, proper invention in breaking defences . Everything England’s play isn’t.

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@jackiHS You’ve hardly changed! 😉

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@paulmilham Why wouldn’t you? 😋

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@paulmilham Surprising that.

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@paulmilham If it was his first time, you could possibly accept there’s some mitigation, but he’s a serial offender and needed to send a proper message.

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@paulmilham Depends on how long his ban is whether it’s worth taking him at all

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@paulmilham Only bright side is we might start with a better 10-12 combination in the WC

[@Anthony Petch @AnthonyPetch]

@DeathandCulture Congratulations, very well deserved.

@foxlanebooks It’s about 10 years since we last had to do one, but was about £90 from memory.
