@SmugxSOB Sorry.

@freddiegavita Haha. Indeed.

1/2 Connections has sent down a rabbit hole this morning. The English horn (SPOILER: Neither English nor a horn) known over here as the cor anglais, is a larger, lower toned oboe, with a bend in it and a bulb shaped bottom end 🧵

Hey UK! The delicious trio of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ and THE WORLD’S END has found a new home on @Film4.

Delighted to have our tales of zombies, village conspiracies and catastrophically ill-advised pub crawls all together on the channel.

They’re playing now, with another round starting this Saturday: SHAUN on October 24th, FUZZ on the 26th and WORLD’S END on the 27th, all at 9pm. All three films (plus @lastnightinsoho) are streaming free on @Channel4.

Get the Cornettos in.

The perfect gift for Halloween. A book of scary stories about haunted objects. My contribution is a tale about a haunted Ring doorbell. Be careful what you see… https://t.co/BcWnDMKYVk

#NewProfilePic for Halloween. courtesy, as ever, of the very excellent @goatboyhorror Check out his timeline for more great art

[charlie higson @monstroso]

@cot188 I liked it.

[charlie higson @monstroso]

@freddiegavita To the French it’s just a ‘cor’. A horn.

[charlie higson @monstroso]

@Osric_ Glad you liked it. Technically Saudi Arabia isn’t part of the UAE. Different countries. It’s as weird part of the world to be sure.

@destructo9000 He does indeed.

[charlie higson @monstroso]

@SweetMrGibs Haha. Nice. From Falmouth With Love.

[charlie higson @monstroso]

This week. James Bond will be in Yeovil on Wednesday and Falmouth on Thursday. Not quite Istanbul, The Alps or Jamaica, but there you go https://t.co/a2cEsztmvl https://t.co/xzJ1lV8hjE

@DrMatthewSweet @NJStreitberger Absolutely not. Pina Colada is a joke cocktail. Margarita is number one.

The Reformer's crossword alone will be worth the wait.

14 Down: Typical Reform candidate, anagram of "arctic nuts" (6, 4).

So sad. Wait till you’re old!
Hold on to your loved ones.
Stay in touch with old friends.
Life has a very simple plot.
First you’re here and then not.

@paddy_wight Tell them you have my blessing. They’re a good bunch at Goldsboro. But they’ll need to get it to the london bookshop. Not the warehouse in Brighton.

[charlie higson @monstroso]

@abediv @ButterflyGhost_ I’m afraid that if that’s the ‘joke’ it’s not very clear. Most people have said that the ‘joke’ is that I must be possessed for turning the napkin over as instructed. A different explanation to yours.

[charlie higson @monstroso]

Utterly inexplicable Nando’s Halloween napkin. What on earth did they think it meant? Was it designed by a 5-year-old? I am baffled
