<hurriedly covers big toes, which look like a pair of elderly hamsters>

<checks the others - they aren't too bad>

No, no of course not! Good heavens! What a suggestion! Hahahahaha!

<goes very red>

It’s a good article, although the title seems at odds with the content, which is very much “bad law, state censorship”. No mention of JKR’s crusade to expose and mock this law on Day 1, that would be too much to get past the Editor I suppose.

These people. What does he imagine she means by #ArrestMe?

They're all busy reporting her and not grasping that taking this issue as far as it can go, in the most glaringly public way possible, IS her goal.

Seriously. Are you real?

When you wax your upper lip, there's always ONE that manages to escape . . . . draws itself back into the pore at the first sniff of Veet, then, at the most embarrassing time, shoots out, silently and very noticeably.

You don't realise why people are looking at you oddly until you nip to the loo in the pub, wash your hands and glance at the mirror . . . and there it is at the corner of your mouth . . . shining white . . . about two inches long . . . like a walrus . . .

Edited for several spelling errors

It wouldn't be quite so bad if the hairs were long, but lay close to the browline.

Mine stick out like razor wire.

God the amount of men moaning about JKR on twitter this morning is utterly depressing.

I definitely need this one!

I was wondering as I drifted off to sleep last night,

a) for those of you who get the Strike books as soon as they come out what's the gap between each one? I'm trying to work out how many books she could write during her 7 year incarceration.

And

B) what was the name of the top dog in the original Prisoner Cell block H as I imagine that's the position JKR will be promoted to very quickly.

I actually found myself tempted by the sleep paralysis one!

Surely Black and Decker make an attachment to deal with this sort of thing?

If it had been a man's problem they'd have found a cure years ago.

I'm in awe of her and so so thankful that someone can shine a light on what is happening..not just in Scotland but everywhere...If you are reading MN...THANK YOU J K ROWLING'S from someone who couldn't find the words that you have...

Prisoner Cell Block H top dog was called Bea, I think, from vague memory?

Yes, Queen Bea!

Tah dah! And it's called a 'mouse' sander 😁 (20% off at Homebase), ooh! Cordless. Looking forward to the influx of (no doubt 5🌟) reviews from smooth vipers.

😂

I've got one of those. Which reminds me, I must try and find it for a couple of jobs.

(Having sanded my fingers a couple of times, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for facial use.)

Sky new Australia is running a segment on on this topic including an interview with Hannah Barnes

It's the lack of anything even remotely resembling a sense of humour that makes me pity them.

Even on here - when we are all joking about knitting and biscuits and facial hair and cake and spiders, they are obviously just looking round from one to another thinking "What? What's happening? Why are they discussing lemon drizzle? Where did the teapot come from? Feet? Eyebrows? What's happening. WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!?!?!?!"

I think they need to go and have a lie down.

Other than the usual suspects on Twitter, I'm finding it interesting how few people are disagreeing with Rowling's latest intervention. Sunak has apparently come out in support.

Even the ever disappointing Val McDermid has decided that this is Not A Good Thing.

Well yes cos most people still can see the bollocks of the emperor even if he wants different pronouns.

Looked better before.

Let's hope it doesn't suffer the usual fate everything else he's touched has.
