@CircusesN @JoshHull @jeremylybarger Dipper is kind of big spoon. Stove because it is dented.
Book ends with killing of a bear. Constellation Big Dipper aka Great Bear.
Whole book is series of symmetric links arranged around dead centre of book.

@DooDahDiaries At which point it became GRIMM. I think I’ve probably got a tape of that In Concert.

@DavidDeutschOxf @PaulRRobichaud A huit allergy?

@idiotbastard @FestivalMOOAH @zappa Wasn’t it Duodenum? I thought one of us might have been slightly off.

@LondonHibee @blzzrd @jonawils @thesefootytimes @glorymag_ @PitchPublishing @StanchionBooks @NutmegMagazine Not to my taste, but nice to see & study those books’ spines.

@thing18rabbit Could the rabbits be simply effecting a Scottish accent rather than being Scottish?

@RupertStanshall @DawsonsAuctions @OfficialBonzos @SirHenryShow Amazing gear! Where is the auction taking place?

@LondonHibee @Luisa__1893 @FutbologyApp And I was that man. I think my son must have obtained the shirt on an Interrail trip

@idiotbastard @MastermindQuiz @zappa I understand the questions are drawn from sources agreed between contestant & producer.
My guess is Barry Miles book, not The Negative Dialects Of Poodle Play - unfortunately.

@thing18rabbit You’ve had one of your premonitions?

@thing18rabbit Can’t be…it just looks like an isolated, magical spot from which songs emerge taking on a life of their own conveying essential Truths, important messages for humanity - but I’m sometimes wrong

@AndrewJal8lim @TheOnion Thank you for the correction of my wife’s name - being shot by firing squad in 1867 must have blurred my memory

@thing18rabbit Bravo! Easily the best play written by not a real rabbit that I’ve heard since the triumph of Brexit.

@EdwardShawcross Fantastic. A nice picture by Jean-Paul Laurens too. Is the pic historically accurate?

[Edward Shawcross @EdwardShawcross]

To stop weapons reaching Juárez’s forces in Mexico, the French consul at San Francisco bribed the Chief of Police there to impound shipments. The name of the policeman who prevented aid reaching republicans fighting monarchists? Edmund Burke. You can’t make this stuff up.

Beyond thrilled to see this wonderful in-depth review of The Last Emperor of Mexico in The Wall Street Journal: https://t.co/wsAaXzCkC0

Just finished reading The Last Emperor Of Mexico by @EdwardShawcross Really enjoyed this brilliant book telling such a unlikely tale with great panache.

[Edward Shawcross @EdwardShawcross]

To paraphrase Leonard Cohen, monarchy is coming to the USA, or at least a book about it, The Last Emperor of Mexico – out tomorrow 19 October.

@EdwardShawcross A momentous day - such an achievement!
