- Ok, Twitter, does anybody know: where the best place online is to sell 2nd hand comics? Still eBay? #
- …Also, is eBay the best place to work out what prices to expect? #
- @MikeScantlebury Heh. in reply to MikeScantlebury #
- @RebeccaFront They are terrible. Mind you, I have had stories misinterpreted before to the extent that it has bewildered & worried me! in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @RebeccaFront I wrote a story based on my memory of that story, that would have been totally different had I heard about the empty bag… in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @RebeccaFront …It was called "Driving Baby Home" – http://is.gd/1u31O – not sure how it holds up. in reply to RebeccaFront #
- @Plustenstrength Yup, that's our chilli, though the Parmesan sounds like a bit of a genius touch that we don't use. Summat new every day! in reply to Plustenstrength #
- @MOMBTWEETS Ta! Was talking to a friend who works at FP, & she said that ebay remains the most solid option. in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
- A lovely evening spent, with @steevbishop & R & Girl One. PIZZA! DRINKIN! CHAT! CHARLIE! Hmph! Bed now? #
- @georgelondon If an option occurs, I will pass it on. Looking like ebay is best bet at mo… in reply to georgelondon #
- @steevbishop On plus side, we may have sent Girl One over the Torchwood tipping point, so I may watch the whole thing with her this Sunday! in reply to steevbishop #
- RT @McKelvie: Living with First Person Shooter Disease http://bit.ly/ajYmH (Didn't think this would pay off – it DOES, though, in the end!) #
- @acheverton The fact that they charge the author seems a bit much, but there's a lot of knee-jerk on the part of the authors, too… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …for a start, the idea that the child is even AWARE of these checks is faulty. in reply to acheverton #
- @_wild_rose_ Oh do shush. The repeated insults are only rendered more pointless by the fact that they seem to be out of nowhere… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @_wild_rose_ …if I've provoked you somehow, I do wish you'd tell me. Otherwise, they come off as bipolar & a bit mean. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @acheverton The problem with the argument is that the writers seem to assume that this is something new to them. EVERYBODY who works with… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …sorry, IN schools has to have these checks, & they're annoying, & indicative of worse things in society, but it damages… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …the credibility of those writers that they didn't notice until it was THEM being affected. A teacher doesn't get to choose… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …other revenue streams. Writers aren't being DENIED a wage stream, they're just being asked to suck on some compromise the… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …way everyone else earning a wage from education is. They just aren't as used to it. in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton So I guess my response is that yes, my knee probably WOULD jerk, but that isn't what has happened to the writers in question. in reply to acheverton #
- @_wild_rose_ I'm only half-smart, but I'm experienced enough to know that a woman who appears from nowhere, & can't tell the difference… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @_wild_rose_ …between snide comments & jokes, while not bringing anything else to the conversation, has misunderstood the "olden days"… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @_wild_rose_ …& might technically be considered more trouble than they are worth. So far your opening gambits have all been insults. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @_wild_rose_ …I don't need strangers to do that. I have friends aplenty up to the task. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @acheverton I'd agree if I thought the one thing had anything to do with the other. Visiting writers doesn't encourage reading & writing… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …at least not to the extent that enabled, able & willing teachers would. One thing at a time, eh? in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton The problem is that pov – as put forward by Pullman et al – suggests that somehow it's ok for EVERYONE ELSE to get checked… in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …Pullman & co show no interest in doing anything but adding another hot voice to the already heated discussion, with no light. in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …& you should be able to rely on writers to do more than add more outrage on their OWN behalf. in reply to acheverton #
- @_wild_rose_ That's 3 sorrys in 2 days from someone I didn't know till they started pulling hair for a reaction. Appreciate the candour… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @_wild_rose_ …But after accepting 2 I'd say I'm more interested in seeing what you do next than expecting a change of temperament. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @_wild_rose_ …For now, though, goodnight. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
- @acheverton I got that, but my point is it isn't only teachers who work at schools, & not every staff member works directly with kids. in reply to acheverton #
- @acheverton …A bit of outrage on this subject is good, but visiting writers AREN'T exceptional is my point. in reply to acheverton #
- @ScruffyPanther No you aren't! Or, well, you certainly shouldn't. in reply to ScruffyPanther #
- Right, off to London to see a couple about a baby naming. #
