Prince Harry & Paul McCartney

Prince Harry & Paul McCartney both followed me on twitter. Did I get excited? No. I knew they were imposters. I reported them as such. Paul McCartney has been removed, but Prince Harry is still one of my followers

The death of Evelyn Anthony

In the 80's my favourite writer was Evelyn Anthony. I would haunt bookshops waiting for her next novel to come out. She died today and her obituary annoyed me. She was described as a romantic novelist. She was no such thing. She wrote about espionage, secret agents and spy thrillers. Love stories ran through her novels, but a love story is different to a romantic story, which is formulaic. Like Daphne DuMaurier she has been brushed aside as a romantic novelist. So wrong and infuriating.

Face Book as an alibi?

Today my cousin wrote a post that showed she was in Australia. She wasn't. This made me think that FB could be used as an alibi. 
'But officer, I told you I was in Australia, and Face Book proves that I was. How could I have murdered a man in London?'
