Tough Crowd, due out 12 October. I’m delighted to see this. He is such a good writer and has sacrificed so much in defence of women’s rights and reality itself. Hope it’s a smash hit.

Available through Waterstones also I think.
I think this book is coming just at the right time. A year ago and maybe people would still be unsure, but I feel the tide is turning.
I hope it's a massive success, I can't wait for my copy.

I got an email from Amazon saying that I won't get my copy until Nov 3rd at the earliest. So there must be a demand that they would never have predicted.

Just had a look on Amazon and it says Tough Crowd is currently unavailable, the hardback anyway. I dont understand how it can be unavailable if its a pre order?

Maybe they've sold out of their current warehouse physical stash? The Kindle version is still for sale.

And it's still available through the publisher (Eye books / Lightning) from what I can see online?

Have to wait for pension day, but will definitely be buying a copy of Glinner’s book, he deserves the income and if his sitcoms are anything to go buy, it will be funny and well-written.

Abhannmor · 17/09/2023 14:07

Managed to order from Eye books. Hooray. Might get another copy or two for presents when funds allow. So glad for Glinner. Like others I wish he give Twitter a break ...maybe do a book tour. Better for his head!

Very much enjoying Willoughby's rage on the RA quote, which comes with a helpful round up of other celebrities who have been brave enough to speak for sense and science

I love the smell of incoherent flimflam in the morning.

I don't agree with everything Graham Linehan puts forward, but I have been very saddened by how he has been treated. I have ordered the book from the publisher and I hope very much that it does really well. He's a brilliant writer so I'm looking forward to reading

WarriorN · 17/09/2023 09:17

Blimey indeed ...

MavisMcMinty · 17/09/2023 00:10

OMG! You made me google Brand. Blimey.

This is still on Wiki. Amazon appears to have lost the Russell Brand quote.

I understand that Mr Brand may have other questions to manage atm.

Our generation's Orville, more like!

AutumnCrow · 16/09/2023 20:09

Yup. Burbs'R'Us.

DialSquare · 16/09/2023 19:41

I see. There doesn't seem to be a GIF (they are missing a trick there!)

I found this photo which must have been taken the day that RB endorsed LOJ's book.

ArabeIIaScott · 16/09/2023 19:35

Aw, no! I was looking for a gif of the wee green bird thing but that's what it showed me!!!

DialSquare · 16/09/2023 19:32

I’ll get my coat

The author of The Establishment, Owen Jones (2014) had his book 'blurbed' on the front cover by Russell Brand. 'Our generation's Orwell', apparently.

I think the TRAs should think twice about playing the blurb game. Nobody gets to win the cuddly toy.

Actually, having read the sample, I'm not sure this is a TRA thing. I think that it might be something else.
There are a lot of spammer 'authors' who watch what's rising and then rapidly write short works to try make money off the coat tails of anything trending.
It seems all generic fluff. I'd expect at least a little character assassination from a TRA

The blurb is far too complimentary to have been written by a TRA.

Boiledbeetle · 15/09/2023 10:54

Owen must regret ever taking the original photo of whatever book he was reading at the time!

I wonder if LOJ will get cancelled for that photo? Would be wonderful irony.

I’ve ordered from the publisher but might order a few more from Amazon to give as gifts

thanks Glinner for all you’ve done

IcakethereforeIam · 16/09/2023 10:57

If anyone is ordering from Waterstone's, I think they have a student discount. If you are a student, or know one 😉, you can save yourself a few pence.

TheGreatATuin · 16/09/2023 09:19

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that.
