  1. @GillianRedfearn Bet she's glad to be home too! GWS LittleCat.
  2. @AMhairiSimpson Is there a support email or FAQ for the plugin developer? Any support notes that came with?
  3. @DriftingFeather My trailer was created for me & is animated, so I've very little experience there. I did pick Stuart as "the face" though!
  4. @AMhairiSimpson You probably have to specify the parent page (I have zero experience using fixed pages in WP; my site is hand-cranked html!)
  5. @DriftingFeather Films and the casting thereof are very much out of the author's hands - we're lucky to be allowed to read the script ;o)
  6. @AMhairiSimpson I'm well, considering I spent evening writing a privacy policy for the website, y'know, just in case #EUcookielaw You?
  7. @AMhairiSimpson Ah. Is there a link to click or are you entering the path? Comments closed is probably a setting in the plugin admin panel.
  8. @DriftingFeather I just hope you enjoy the book (Stuart said he did, and that quite blew me away)
  9. @AMhairiSimpson What's your forum hosted on? I used to know a bit about phpBB, if that helps?
  10. @DriftingFeather First five chapters are on the Gollancz site (start here: gollancz.co.uk/2012/03/songs-…). Glad I could help!
  11. @DriftingFeather The Book Depository is listing hardcover as in stock: bookdepository.co.uk/Songs-Earth-El… HTH!
  12. @DriftingFeather I like to think so ;o) I'm not set up for direct sales; try the usual suspects e.g. Amazon, B&N (depending where you are)
  13. Hubby on bike overtook car with 46 sticker on it. Driver looked over, hubby tapped the 99 on his lid & gave it beans #MotoGP #boyswillbeboys
  14. @aquilarift Alas, no crossbills - not enough pine (prolly some up around Kielder, mind). The tree sparrows have become regulars now.
  15. @AquilaRift No treecreepers in my garden, alas, but I can claim a pair of tree sparrows - take that! #redlistspeciestoptrumps
  16. @chitman13 Isn't that what mums are for, annoying their offspring?
  17. @amhairisimpson Whaaaat? FFS! So sorry you're having to deal with these useless muppets along with everything else :o(
  18. @judithkinghorn Last house, a foul smell in living room turned out to be a very dead shrew under sofa. Cat looked on, utterly unapologetic.
  19. @Hagelrat Given your previous tweet about Vogons, it has to be Ford Prefect!
  20. In case you can't tell, I'm incensed about this: guardian.co.uk/environment/ge… #buzzards
