I've just seen a similar rant on Facebook from someone who appears to feel actual rage at other people posting their Wordle results. Bit ironic as this person counts and calculates and posts their parkrun stats and place in league tables quite a lot (which doesn't annoy me, so maybe I'm making a false equivalence).

People who use the word 'shop' in that weird American manner - "shop your essential groceries" or "shop the latest fashion trend".

They can go away to wherever it was we sent people who say "Can I get..." in coffee shops.

I know where they are. At the end of a very angry glare from me. With a sound track of exaggerated tutting. With a side order of eye rolling.

Richard Osman. There’s a mini interview thing with him in today’s Times and he comes across as something of an arse.

My favourite author or book
Starting me off with an easy one, I see. I have to give a nod to Michael Frayn’s beautiful comic novel about the last days of Fleet Street, Towards the End of the Morning, but if there’s to be one winner today, then I’ll choose Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley. Can I add a non-fiction book? Everyone to whom I’ve recommended Simon Garfield’s The Wrestling has loved it.
