  • 22:02 Is it just me - or does Britney look GREAT in the video for "Circus"? Damn!

  • 22:13 @jmsnyder23 "There's only two kinds of guys - ones that can handle me and ones that are scared" !! You got that right. I'd defo give it a go
  • 22:17 @jmsnyder23 I have trouble with that too. Go in for a loaf of bread and somehow end up spending £20. No idea how.
  • 22:19 less than half an hour to #questiontime. Should be good this week with the rate cut and Brown in Washington.
  • 22:38 #bbcqt In Dudley tonight - my old stomping ground. Shouldn't Clare Short be on if it's from the West Mids?
  • 22:39 #bbcqt how long do think it'll be before he mentions Twitter in his intoductions?
  • 22:40 @KerryMP I'm going with #bbcqt tonight. It's shorter
  • 22:42 #bbcqt 1st question about printing money - there's a surprise.
  • 22:44 #bbcqt Sorry Germaine - the banks are NOT charging 0.5%. I was quoted 4% for a mortgage today and told it was a good rate.
  • 22:44 @_npr #bbcqt you're right, this is a a hell of a risk.
  • 22:44 #bbcqt who's that bald guy? He's actually talking sense.
  • 22:46 @keithbelfast #bbcqt most of the government shouldn't be allowed to talk about economics either.
  • 22:48 @_npr I normally find the non-politicians talk the most sense on #bbcqt
  • 22:50 @Tweet4Labour #bbcqt That accent is almost making me feel homesick. Or is that sick of my home.
  • 22:51 @_npr #bbcqt The exception that proves the rule?
  • 22:52 @Tweet4Labour If there was a banker on the #bbcqt panel, it'd be a hell of a lot of fun. Get Fred Goodman on.
  • 22:54 @richardrooney #bbcqt - yeah, that was damn quick.
  • 22:58 #bbcqt Why can't we do what they do in France - Pay full price up front then claim back 75% from the state later?
  • 23:01 #bbcqt that point about missing appointments is a very, very good one. Maybe then I could actually GET an appointment.
  • 23:01 @jamescowley It's works in France for my wife & her family. Got to be worth a try.
  • 23:03 @KerryMP #bbcqt but like a lot of folks who go on the show, GG's saying what she thinks the audience wants to hear.
  • 23:04 #bbcqt Germaine Greer talking about Cricket? Is this real or made up?
  • 23:06 is.gd/lZV2 - this is so good. Not strictly to do with #bbcqt but thought you guys might like it.
  • 23:09 #bbcqt I do love it when David pressures them to actually answer the question they've been asked.
  • 23:10 @rnnbrwn You and me both. think we should use a big stick on him for good measure?
  • 23:12 #bbcqt That guy in the yellow shirt is really, really pissed off with Toby Young.
  • 23:15 #bbcqt Fern Britten on the panel? Why?
  • 23:16 #bbcqt Should England follow Scotland's example and ban cheap booze? God, I hope not.
  • 23:19 #bbcqt GG - I'll have all the extra money thanks. Send it my way.
  • 23:20 #bbcqt With a French wife, we go back to see her folks quite a lot. Wine and beer is still cheaper of there. And often better quality
  • 23:21 #bbcqt Oh, the tories are on tonight. I didn't realise until he mentioned the "broken society"
  • 23:23 #bbcqt you know, we wouldn't have as much of a problem with booze if parents taught the kids the respect the stuff.
  • 23:23 #bbcqt Of course, the parents would need to respect booze themselves first.
  • 23:25 #bbcqt that young lad who just spoke for PM!
  • 23:26 #bbcqt Gordon in the US? Will we get a Harriet Harman question too?

It’s Underway

My new fiction dairy-blog is underway. I made the first post yesterday and have made two more today. Yes, two more. You’ll have to read them to find out why. So far it’s mostly just a bit of scene setting and history. The actual plot (such as there will be) will start soon. I already know that in the next entry, Jamie, my diarist, will realise that the entries show up on the blog in reverse chronological order, and this gives me the excuse to start archiving he posts to StoriesOnline.

One thing I’ve been doing is to try and add Wikipedia links to any decidedly British cultural references that Jamie makes. I often see cultural references in works by American authors and have no clue what they mean. I’m hoping by providing some Wiki-guidance, I’ll avoid overseas readers from suffering the same problem.

I noticed today that this blog has been referenced in a blog on SOL for the second day running. The first reference was fine and I e-mailed the author to thank him for reading my blog (cause it was fairly obvious he had from the reference). This second reference though was a comment that “something called Daily Tweets are putting him to sleep”. Well, since I’m the only SOL author to copy his Daily Twitter Tweets to the blog, it must be me inducing his state of unwakefulness. To the author, I have a word of advice – if my Tweets bore you, don’t bother to read them. They are clearly marked, so it’s really quite easy to not click on them, you just don’t click on them. I wonder if he finds my other posts as banal?

Anyway, enough of this, I have work, editing and writing to do – but not in that order.

Young, Horny & Grumpy

Okay, so after consulting my many consultants, I’ve decided that I am going to publish an experimental, diary style blog. You’ll find it at younghornygrumpy.blogspot.com

The Diarist is 35 year old Jamie Holder, nicknamed Noddy because he shares his surname with the lead singer of 70’s glam rock outfit, Slade. He’s a teacher at Westmouth High school. Westmouth is the fictional south coast town that my next novel Kissed by a Rose is set in and where I intend to set all my future work.

Jamie has recently been dumped by his girlfriend – well, she ran off with he best mate actually. Ex-best mate. His other best mate, Brian “Flathead” Jones has advised him to write a blog to help him get over his frustration, deal with his feelings for his ex-girlfriend, and maybe, just maybe, move on and get laid.

Right now, I don’t know how often I’ll be posting entries to the diary. I guess, like most diaries, it’ll be every day posts to start with and then become less frequent as Jamie loses interest. He won’t stop completely, but posts might go down to one or two a week. We’ll just have to see.

In time, I’ll be setting up Jamie with an e-mail address and add a page about this experiment to my website. I’ll also notify  posts to the diary on this blog and archive the posts weekly to SOL as a serial.

So, for now, go and have a read of Jamie’s blog, and let him (me) know what you think.
