Bookcase Credibility

What you say is not as important as the bookcase behind you.

Martin Amis knew what was what and what, in the credibility world, is a bookcase ladder. As a man at war with cliché he finds a fresh use for one though. Here, he broods in shadow, hinting that if we offend he might slide behind the ladder and scowl at us through the rungs.

Jamie Driscoll above, Nelson Mandela below. Some say it's hubris, some say it's too bold, too strong. Jamie knows he isn't here to offer up bland flavours. Wrap the whole thing in classics, season with flags and serve.

Picture nicked from @Tweet_Dec so thanks very much!

If you're going to slag off your partner while they're sitting right next to you it's always wise to get some books behind you so people know you've thought about it.

[Bookcase Credibility @BCredibility]

Not much has changed then.

A cry for help from Liz Truss. She appears a Minister in control, with flags, the ministerial case, books over the shoulder. A calculator. But she has put the water dangerously close to the edge and turned a book called What Works upside down. I'm struggling, she says. Save me.

Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell face each other like the Federer and Nadal of credibility. Their court is not clipped perfection but a clearing in a forest of understanding. Knowledge spectates on three sides, like curious trees. A chair turns its back. Too much truth perhaps.

Stephen King. The eye moves past the hint of a door towards the waiting Stephen. We are welcomed to his inner world, lined with books. A masterful piece of narrative. You'd think Stephen had an idea about that sort of thing.

Michael tries a new layout to even less effect. The Welsh dictionary indicates a man courageously ranging across tongues to find words of justification. They don't exist in any language but Michael fights on. Michael Fabricant? Michael Fabrican!

[Bookcase Credibility @BCredibility]

Michael Fabricant is going to need a lot more books than those if he wants to successfully defend the indefensible.

Waldemar Januszczak. Show don't tell, Waldemar.

@gismophilia Haha! Thanks for your understanding.

[Bookcase Credibility @BCredibility]

@gismophilia Done. Sorry again. It was thoughtless.

I've deleted the latest one as it was rightly pointed out that, stripped of context, it looks like the person in the picture wasn't joking and I was mocking them. Or at least that would be a fair reading of it. Sorry. It wasn't my intention at all and was thoughtless of me.

@gismophilia You're right, I'm sorry. I liked your joke, which is why I liked the tweet and posted the pic. I should have realised that stripped of context it might look like mockery. I'll delete it.

[Bookcase Credibility @BCredibility]

@gismophilia If you want me to delete it I'll delete it. Just be clear that I don't go round nicking pictures of people I don't know off Facebook. Most of the people I post about are journalists or otherwise in the public eye but sometimes not.

[Bookcase Credibility @BCredibility]

@gismophilia Here.

@gismophilia If you look at my account you'll see that's what my account is about bookcase backgrounds.

[Bookcase Credibility @BCredibility]

@gismophilia Wasn't.
