I then tried to order an Acer Ai0 from you. Same waste of time. I filled in all the tedious details, the order was accepted ... then it wasn't available though still advertised.
AVOID. Appalling service. How long does it take to update a Website?

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

@Argos_Online - I have spent 30/40 minutes researching PCS on your Website and ordering... A complete waste of my time.
I filled in your online form to order Acer XC-1710 PC. This order was accepted. This item is still available on your Website, but is NOT available.

Emmanuel (who I met a couple of times in south London in the 'Wheel of Time' days) is a talented guy. Much luck with this project, Emmanuel! 👍👍👍

[Script Compass @CompassScript]

The talented Emmanuel Imani ('Riches', 'Wheel of Time', 'Geek Girl') and Byron McNally (Script Compass Founder) share more about the creative journey on 'Demons', now in the final stages of post-production!🎥

Gearing up to work with Emmanuel on two more thrilling projects!🚀💫

I forgot to report back on the Glasgow World SF Con. It was ... life-enhancing. A particular pleasure was getting to meet Joe Haldeman (Forever War) and his wife Mary Gay. Here's to them!

@RichardAngwin A Trump supporter? 😱😱😱

Hey, so what's happening? Given that the UK railway system and London underground were badly hit previously... What's happening is a series of cyber attacks, from Guess Who!

Here's a report from X: "Chaos in Denmark - no mobile phone service, trains at a standstill. ...there has been a widespread failure of the mobile phone network in Denmark. The emergency call system also failed. The Danish railway is out trains have stopped on the open track."

The election is done. The right now have the Presidency, the Vice-Presidency, the Senate, the House - and, of course, the Supreme Court...
This is a new epoch, and NOT a good one...

@mikejackstraw I think you've convinced me! 🤢

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

@gtwycrdrvr I hate to say it, but the TV 'Wheel of Time' isn't quite as classy as the TV 'Game of Thrones' ... but it is really, really good!

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

@LauraLoomer asks Did Time Magazine 'have advance knowledge of the attempted assassination of President Trump?'
- No.
'Coincidence? Or coordination?'
- Coincidence. Yawn...

@girlonfire_92 Looks good to me! 😁 And all connections / exposure / name recognition / PR is oxygen for your career

#KamalaHarris2024 - For her VP pick? I was leaning towards #JoshShapiro (obviously a strong candidate) but #MarkKelly has obviously got a lot to offer as a #TrumpVance2024 nemesis...
Nemesis away! 👍

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

#KamalaHarris - My guess at the VP pick? Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania... 😀

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

I'm off to the Glasgow World Science Fiction Convention in August. I hope to see some of you there! 😁😁😁

@georgesreads @DemainPubUK @manylittlewords @CemeteryGatesM @PNWScribe @TorNightfire @Catrionaward @ViperBooks @Stephen @HardCaseCrime @IAmEEAdams @penguinrandom @Valancourt_B Well, I can't claim I'm up with Stephen King (is it THE Stephen King above?) but if you check out the https://t.co/wC9swsknCL Website you will find some colourful big scale fantasy...

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

@JoJoFromJerz You said it!

@RepKatiePorter JUSTICE FLIES NAZI FLAG OUTSIDE HOUSE. 'I didn't realize what the swastika meant, honest! Besides, my wife did it.' 😱
Sarcasm seems appropriate...

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

@dragonmount Very well. And I might have more to say, soon ...

[Ritchie Valentine Smith @RitchieVSmith]

Do take a look, everyone. This is a very cool trailer for a very, very cool show ...
