Bob Stone

As of today, I will no longer be posting here. The account will stay open for a bit until everyone who wants to find me on the 🦋 place has, and then I will be gone. Thank you to the nice people who have engaged with me over the years

It's #internationalchildrensbookday, coinciding with Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, and serendipitously the #NationalYearofReading! To celebrate, I'm giving away an entire set of #MorttheMeek books. Just comment your favourite children's book, tag and share. Ends 9th April.

@saniyafatma1278 Georgia Brown approves

Can we start the longest running thread of cat pics?

@ilSolano @Corbienest I wanted that so much. I got a Parsley the Lion car instead

@Corbienest Five year old hildren of a previous age had this cool toy to console us....

There comes a time in every young movie lovers life when they realize there are, in fact, no pink panthers in the pink panther movies. My 5 year old is learning this harsh truth as we speak.

@Corbienest I've now got the theme tune to the cartoon stuck in my head. I always wanted a Dinky toy of the car, too. And yes, I don't think I've ever recovered from the lack of pink panthers in the film

@RachelDelahaye Do not even joke about that. No AI could possibly write as well as you x

@SuGaR_Babbyyy Time to get a new clock

No cheating Do you know the answer?

@LiverpoolGirl72 Congratulations Liz! x

So happy and excited to be amongst the finalists for the Romantic Novelists' Association 2026 Awards for SAGA ROMANCE. And to everyone at the RNA and all the readers who took the time to read the entries - 500 books! - a big heartfelt thank you. 🙏 📚🥂 #ronas26

@RachelDelahaye, one of the very best authors of YA dystopian fiction has, along with @MimiThebo, a new book out on April 27th. Absolutely can't wait!

@donmcgowan @louisecobbold79 It's a shabby thing to do, but I hope it backfires and gets @louisecobbold79 loads of work. She's very talented. Let's all give her a follow

Just in case anyone missed it, yesterday, Reform UK took a local Ipswich artist's work, plagiarised it with Ai and posted it as their own. So instead of artist, @louisecobbold79 having her art proudly displayed for being on the match day programme, Farage has hijacked her limelight. As he does … with everything. It's utterly shameful and should be called out for what it is … IP theft. @IpswichTown and @ITFCWomen should publicly condemn this.

@RachelDelahaye @MimiThebo Ooh thank you. I look forward enormously to promoting it like mad x

@bobstoneauthor @MimiThebo Oh Bob. Blinky's decision is final... Or is it? (Will send you a copy soon as we have them)

Our YA 'The Emptying' is coming to remind you to never give up your human responsibilities, capabilities and connections. Or else someone, or something, might deem you dispensable. Find out if you're at risk (link) and share your results 👇 @MimiThebo nimble-dodol-2ed6b0.netlify.app

@richardosman Hard act to follow, but how about one final week of the four best players from the last nine years facing off against each other? Winner gets the keys to the house!

Thank you for all your kind words as I step down from #HouseOfGames after 9 amazing years. It is honestly the most fun show to work on, with the most wonderful team, but, after 800 episodes it's time to hand over the keys to a new host. There are plenty of new episodes still to air though, and I'll even be filming one final handover week later in the year! It really has been a treat from start to finish.

@eveofthedaleks I'd have the Billie Doctor say to the TARDIS, "No! Stop giving me other people's faces! I want something new!" Regeneration starts again. Title sequence. TARDIS lands, the new Doctor steps out and it never gets mentioned again.

The BBC make you showrunner and you have to do something following this cliffhanger — what are you doing?

Hyenas. My debut novel. A frenetic post-apocalyptic thrill-ride that readers describe as 'relentless', 'disturbing', 'unique', 'poignant' and 'a hell of a good time'. RTs greatly appreciated! UK: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/191… US: amazon.com/gp/product/191… #horror #zombies #liverpool

@MichaelRosenYes @katrinah841 @IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk @BangorUni Here's one! As I pointed our to a certain ex-Tory yesterday, if she saw what we protested about there in the 1980s, she'd explode. We generally weren't keen on her former party!

@katrinah841 @IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk @BangorUni Bangor University has almost 120,000 alumni living all over the world,

"I want to go to Bangor University" said nobody ever. Especially if Bangor University is stripped of government funding and student loan facilities by @reformparty_uk Is that "in line with your values," poppets?

@IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk I wanted to go there. I went there. I had a good time, got a decent degree and turned out okay, I think.

@SuellaBraverman Blimey, if you'd seen some of the things we protested about when I was a student at Bangor in the 1980s, presumably when universities were 'revered', you'd explode. We really weren't keen on your former party!

Our once revered and world class University system has been captured by left wing ideologues who hate freedom of speech. Education needs Reform.

I hope @RealBobMortimer appreciates how many people will be saying "too dense" to luncheon meat this weekend. Genius. #WILTY

@RachelDelahaye That's stunning!

Isn't this incredible. Not AI ❤️

Saw a car parked up outside a house this morning with the reg plate C*** REA. I am delighted to be able to report that he's made it! #drivinghomeforchristmas
