Of all the alleged weird radio broadcasts people report in Hookland – messages from Antarctic explorers who disappeared in the 1930s, vanished planes, ghost cosmonauts – I find the tales of emergency broadcasts from apocalypses yet to happen the most chilling. – #MattAdams, 1980

@mulhollandrew Beaten by Sister Bennywith at age five for saying dinosaurs were real. Life ban from local church for leading 30 other children in an act of ‰Û÷necromancy‰Ûª aged seven. Accused by Elim Pentecostalists of being possessed. By eight, I had complex relationships with several factions.

‰ÛÏSo is this guy a writer Guv?‰Û ‰ÛÏMatter of opinion Nokes. If you consider 27 pages that can be read in any order stored in box a book, the man is an author. He himself thinks he is an experimental artist and occult innovator.‰Û ‰ÛÏSo maybe a writer, definitely a ponce.‰Û #DICallaghan

@quietest1one Well Hookland belongs to everyone, so in theory anyone can make the pitch/use DI Callaghan and that itself may be a little problem for TV people/publishers.

@jennnyh1977 Poncery, ponce et al are distinct from nonce, a word they like to use. As for ponce, to allow them to use a word unchallenged and roll back on decades of English language by the working class where it has a specific and rather wonderful meaning – nah, not letting them have it.

@jennnyh1977 Also, Hookland is pre-1982. I always trust the reader to be smarter than me. I certainly trust them to be smart enough to handle the nuances of the words poncey, ponce and poncery by a non-modern character.
