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.

Women haters now attempting to claim that Richard isn't funny is hilariously transparent. This was a particularly amusing exchange -

Ha! Wait till Ella finds out about Robert Webb……!

So pleased for Glinner

kathy Burke is nowhere near as edgy as she likes to think. Swearing a lot and speaking in a cockney accent might be terribly ‘out there’ to the Tarquins that run TV but she’s now she’s as establishment as the rest of them

Helleofabore · 14/09/2023 20:48

I really hope that Glinner doesn’t have to sign them all at once!!

I have also just bought Richard Ayoade's book

Happy to put my money where my mouth is

It's very interesting how, if you search in Twitter for 'glinner', it returns 8 suggestions, and if you search for 'graham linehan', you get 7 suggestions (some may be duplicated across both of these) - but they all appear to be parody/mocking/fake accounts and not one of them is the actual one.

Is it just how my Twitter is set up, or is this the same for everybody? So much for Musk wanting to get rid of the fakes and purify the integrity of it.

Isn't it also fascinating how, considering how the TRAs view Glinner, and they 'know' that they are so much smarter than he is... would you not think they'd be keen to let his own 'poisonous' words spread far and wide, without them deliberately obscuring him on Twitter. Maybe they know something that they aren't letting on...

I've bought from the publisher's website. I buy tons of books but rarely buy hardbacks, not sure I've bought any since Terry Pratchett died actually. Always bought his in hardback immediately. Really looking forward to reading this. Great to see it jumping up the bestseller lists so fast.

The Running Grave, the new Robert Galbraith, is out in a week or two, and at 900 pages, that will keep us busy for a while.

Oooh. I didn't realise it was so soon! Can't wait

Oh that's hilarious. Please tell me someone told them about Robert Webb 🤣

I didn't realise Richard Ayoade had a few books out. That might be something to read while we wait for Glinner's release date.

Was it you who was chief beanie counter in another thread that shall not be named?
I nominate you for 10K counter/counterdowner in this thread! :)

risefromyourgrave · 14/09/2023 20:21

I’m really disappointed in Kathy Burke, to dismiss James Dreyfus as ‘another bloke’. He’s never been anything but nice and kind about her.

IcakethereforeIam · 14/09/2023 20:19

Fuck! Kathy Burke, seems tras do find the sex of a person to be important.

Apparently as a subscriber to his substack you can receive a signed copy at a discount. So that's what I did, although I usually prefer to get things on Kindle to avoid the clutter.

Beeswood · 14/09/2023 20:08

I am really happy for Glinner, and so pleased Richard Ayoade and Jonathan Ross supported him.

The Tra's must be imploding with rage!

mb2512cat · 14/09/2023 20:07

#7912. That and Roisin Murphy’s new album 👍

dcbc1234 · 14/09/2023 20:07

Pre-ordering a copy is the least I can do.

Maaate · 14/09/2023 20:06

Even more awful when you find out that James will not say a bad word about Kathy 😔

Morty12 · 14/09/2023 20:02

Kathy Burke referring to Glinner and James Dreyfus I assume. How disappointing.

I may buy it in paperback.

I didn't ask him to make those sacrifices and often wonder how and why it got so far

I think he’s just a decent man who cares about women AND has had deep courage. My admiration runs deep.
