@Dowellenough Bless you. X

.@bonesandbugs. Hullo, Beth, my son Henry is a big dodo fan — and you’re a huge inspiration! He has made a podcast explaining his dodo love. (We had to visit the only Nicobar pigeon in the UK the other day!) Anyway, just thought I’d share. Thanks! X https://t.co/MPdn3EfNoG

If you do one thing today, you should seek out this handsome, beautifully-written, and slightly ridiculous book by @TheLaarsHead. And find out how Jack the Ripper just might have been Adolf Hitler. https://t.co/Inuuha8jE4 #jacktheripper

My copy of Jack of All Trades: The Untold Lives of Jack The Ripper by @TheLaarsHead has arrived. The whole family are delighted and I fully intend to get round to reading it one day.

@ahistoryinart @TychyWordpress It’s a cracking read. Thank you! X

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

Read the excellent biography of Harry Price by @ahistoryinart by the fireside in a pub in Draperstown in Ireland last night. It led to a big discussion on the supernatural with the wonderful locals. Lot of ghosts out there, it seems. (I had nothing…)

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@TychyWordpress @ahistoryinart I quite liked Pasquale Erto ‘the luminous wonder of Naples’ performing a nude seance and hiding iron filings and ferro-cerenium up his arse.

Are you a Victorian ghost? Embarrassed by your faded vestments?

Why not check out the hot new range at H&M?

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@LordWoolamaloo And it matched my pint!

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

Not everything about 2024 was perfect, if I’m honest.

But I am pleased I’ve got to the point in life that I’m being aggressively marketed capes.

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@LordWoolamaloo A woman called Lisa stole my tricorn hat. True story.

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@VelvetWildcat And you! X

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

Whatever you’re doing, have a great night tonight — and I wish you a happy and successful 2025!

(At least try not to arse everything up in the next couple of days — or this post will seem tactless...)

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@vivascarlett1 And to you and yours! X

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@EightiesFan73 You too! X

I suspect that if all Mariah Carey got for Christmas WAS me, you wouldn't hear the bloody end of it...

[E O Higgins @eohiggins]

@PhilippaThomson Less Musky is what I’m looking for.
