TheOrwellPrize

  1. RT @Routebooks I wonder if we can claim to have won the Orwell Prize now? Maybe after several pints... it wouldn't be a total lie. Ha
  2. The winner was @routebooks - congrats! DM me your address. Thanks to all who entered - we'll have another copy to give away next week
  3. The answer we were looking for was: The Wheatsheaf, Rathbone Place (I may have to investigate some of the other suggestions personally!)
  4. Only 8 minutes left to win a copy of Fishing in Utopia http://is.gd/5gVKE & http://is.gd/5gVLD
  5. Thanks for all the entries so far! 90 mins left if you want to win Fishing in Utopia. DM or @ me. http://is.gd/5gVKE & http://is.gd/5gVLD
  6. @jarfr No bonus marks I'm afraid! Can't say I've ever tried one myself
  7. RT @foreignoffice: Raising awareness for political prisoners in #burma http://ow.ly/Ibru please RT
  8. Peter Hitchens has just popped into the office with his Journalism Prize entry. Wish I'd tidied up a bit more
  9. @MarDixon Thanks for that - might have to organise an Orwell pub crawl at some point! A nice topic to research, at least
  10. @MarDixon You can indeed (we're using that essay as a guide). Where did you see the other one mentioned?
  11. You can DM me or @ the answer before 5pm, and I'll choose a winner. Very quick responses from @alboreto and @MarDixon!
  12. On a completely unrelated note, here's an essay on Orwell's London http://is.gd/5gQHy. It's not the Moon Under Water http://is.gd/5gQJG
  13. What was Orwell's favourite Soho pub?
  14. As promised: a copy of last year's winner, Fishing in Utopia, up for grabs - a wonderful read and great Xmas present. Answers by 5pm to...

  16. That's 500! Thank you 499 @neilayres and 500 @Liz_Sara. Might have to give away some books to celebrate... details to follow
  17. Two more followers and we hit 500... though of course, it's quality not quantity, and we have lots of quality followers. Wd be nice though!
  18. Morning! Anyone else getting tweets from people you don't follow on twhirl? One day looks like misfortune, two days more than coincidence
  19. Thanks! [blushes] RT @griffinpoetry: @TheOrwellPrize You're welcome. It's a good and thoughtful piece. http://is.gd/5eVcG
  20. @griffinpoetry Thanks for the RT! Hope you enjoyed it...
