That last line is <chefs kiss>

There's a website and a cookbook called "The Inn at the Crossroads" that has recipes for a lot of the dishes cooked in A Song of Ice and Fire (often referred to as Game of Thrones, inaccurately). Including Honeyed Locusts and raw Stallion Heart!

Go on JKR. Nonsense from the man.

Strike is a Crime Detective series, with a Private Investigator (Strike) as the main character, along with Robin, who starts out as his secretary but becomes a partner in the detective agency about half way through. There are 7 books at the moment, soon to be 8 (September, I think, is the release date). The first 6 have been made into BBC series and are available on iPlayer.
They're very good, in my opinion. Better than Harry Potter. Although comparing a Crime Detective series to a Children's Fantasy series is a little hard to do.
Watch or read the first one and see what you think. If you like it even a bit, try the rest - they get better.

I think we will see JKR in court against one of these idiots sooner rather than later, and it will be glorious

Feud between JK Rowling and Jolyon Maugham KC fires up social media

Thanks for the share token, I'm glad they spent about a third of their words mocking him re fox killing. The readers can draw their own conclusions about him.

It is actually a very funny article. The fox botherer always makes me snigger.

IANAL but I believe you have a case for libel when someone publishes something that would lower you in the minds of right minded people. JKR might not have a case since no right minded person would pay any attention to what that pompous twat says.

In my head, they are gerbils
(If you're confused by that, you have to pop into the Bluestocking Pub and all will be revealed..)

I would love to see JK take him on in a courtroom.

He’s such a fud 😉

To follow on from @Steve3742’s post, the first one is The Cuckoo’s Calling and you can get them second hand on the likes of Amazon Marketplace or eBay quite cheaply.

I bought the first one about a year ago and have galloped through them all! <drums fingers impatiently for The Hallmarked Man>

Or, cheaper still, free on the i-player.

The TV series is good, but not as good as the books.

That Times article is a thing of beauty. We get a very good resume of the Boxing Day activities of the fox killer.

I was advised the link in my post doesn’t work, and I think it’s too late to edit original post. For donations, please follow this link

The ratio between JKR’s tweet and his response is epic. He’s properly losing the plot now, what a very silly man he is.

Strike is good on Audible too

I'll buy a new one, nothing against 2nd hand, but new is a vote of support for JKR .

I listened to the earlier ones a few years ago. IIRC it was Robert Glenister narrating. He's very good.

”Writing on the social media site Bluesky, Maugham said that “for JK Rowling ‘sex-based rights’ are not the right to be paid the same as men, to live without sexual violence or coercion, to share the burden of unpaid labour, to escape the motherhood penalty or have domestic abuse taken seriously. They are about the exclusion of trans women. Mind-blowing”.

Foxy’s comment is such a disingenuous straw man.

Jol's mind blowing would be smaller than a party popper. If brains and integrity were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his court wig off.

A Queen and her money go towards protecting women and children. A fool and his money are soon parted. Anyone who gives that chump their cash deserves to lose it.

Also, where are all the “Good Law Project” cases about these issues then?

Apparently they’re in the pipeline but it’s all very hush hush at the moment.

I’ll not hold my breath, although I will be amused to see what flimsy legal premise they come out with.

Foxy’s comment is such a disingenuous straw man.

It’s all he’s got.
