Gaiman the Magnificent

Neil Gaiman is still trying to explain a writer's obligation to entitlement bitches. But he's just come up with this amazing image of writers as soldiers:

And I keep having fantasies about a trained platoon of Her Majesty's Armoured Novelists being put through their paces by an irascible RSM "... on the double - wait for it wait for it, what do you think you're doing, you horrible little man, contemplating litotes? -on the double, quiiiiiiiiick PLOT!"

I need that RSM to get some of my bunnies in line!

Two great rants

Not by me unfortunately. But by the best tradition of British ranters:

Charlie Brooker on the BNP

Jeremy Clarkson on the new Honda hybrid
