Vanilla Nice (Nice, Nice, Baby)

I’m taking a well=earned break from Writers’ Group and playing Modern Warfare 2 to announce that the inaugural edition of Vanilla has been released with downloadable and hard copy content to follow. I’m not telling you this just to be nice to them (although they are lovely people) but, as you may recall, you’ll find my story — The Air Is Getting Thinner – betwixt its electronic pages.

Have a read of the fine work on offer and I hope you enjoy.

 

A Two Blog Household

My wife, Julie, has recently started her own blog. Expect more art, less swearing and absolutely no mention of Alloa Athletic Football Club. Have a looky here.

 

Name That Tune

Howard Goodall wrote the theme tunes for QI and Blackadder and if you listen to either, you can tell he has a favoured scale and key. Yes, you can.

Oh, and happy new year.

Edited to add:

My new year’s resolution — not to play six hours of pool with Tommy Fitzpatrick again. Four hours, fine. Five hours, sure. Six hours, no fucking way. I don’t know whether it’s a good idea to write this, but since I last saw Tommy, I can barely bend over without being in considerable pain. Less is more. Pool has become a fit man’s game.
