I read and I know stuff … see my bookcrossing virtual bookshelf for more words. Also here is my tech nerd personna @ITelementary

@adamshambles1 @CadburyUK I had the same problem (and the same nothing message) after driving 10 miles to find my nearest poster - on the basis that they can't be 'out of chocolate' it feels like a marketing scam to me. The 'buy now' button seems cynical, so I won't #CadburyUK

@katiewardwriter @FleetReads @LittleBrownUK I've just finished Pathways. I really enjoyed it; an intelligent novel, full of insights on the human condition, connection & consequences, written with empathy and humour ... my longer review in GoodReads and @BookCrossingCom

@amblongusbooks @ChesterTours I was nearly tempted by the 'Lawrence' early this week, but was put off by the size! Plenty of great pre-loved books inside to buy ... :)

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@amblongusbooks I'm sorry to hear that :( I don't think shoplifting is ever acceptable but stealing books from a small independent shop seems like a real low.

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@AngusDunican @amblongusbooks @mrjclawrence I fully expect you and R to do all the voices when reading to your little man!

[Angus Dunican @AngusDunican]

In case anyone was wondering, these are my ‘official’ voices when reading this book to my son.

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@amblongusbooks Ooh, I've just seen this ... I didn't get to you today, a few of these would be perfect on my @bookcrossing sharing shelves!

[Amblongus Books @amblongusbooks]

Thank you!

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@amblongusbooks That is disappointing, we give to charity with the hope (expectation) that it generates as much value as possible, maybe the issue is storage/shelf-space? btw that cover confused my little brain!

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@spooktonbrewco I found you (before the wind and rain picked up)! I tried the Brave Noise on tap, which is very nice, and some carry-outs for later. Good luck gents

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@amblongusbooks the quote I mentioned in the shop yesterday, 'So Many Books' by Gabriel Zaid’s, “… the truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure of their desire for more”

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@Meltdownchester @ThatBeerPlaceHQ Good luck with whatever comes next ... I never got my delivery to Handbridge, so I will have to survive off of the cheesy memories!

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@ShitChester @StoryhouseLive Oh no, I didn't go into SH today ... I hope the arch stays up long enough for me to see it :)

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@Baddiel Thank you, it got me thinking about my brothers (older and younger) growing up and our relationships now. We are Jewish-ish so I recognise the 'hypochondria' gene, in others ;) Also, 59/60 is not old anymore, I'm 58 and feel middle-aged, even if some of my parts behave older!

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@theJeremyVine Erm, yep being the same age as JW and Gen X mine is mostly zero, except for the US (mis)spelling of no.20!

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@ShitChester Interesting for discussion, I agree with most in my working and private life ... and a good spot overlooking Exchange Square

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@MikeGal041 @Baddiel I mean get a tick as 'attended' ... if you leave early or hack off the teacher by debating/arguing, for example, you might be in trouble (opinions my own)

[Tony Lawrence @bookgroupman]

@Grady_Booch Excellent, I may appropriate this to quote for my client(s )... sometimes things being perceived as being 'complex', not just tech, is an excuse to hide behind
