- Sofa = Office
- The canteen never shuts
- If a book is that good, you may stay up till 3am reading it.
- And have a lie-in till 10 the next day. Sometimes.
- Being in for the delivery man
- Lego = Team-Building Away Day .
- You get to go to the gym when the only other person there is a pervy-looking gymnast.
- No meetings*
- The giddy rush that comes from being able to turn down a hateful project.
- Cat = Manager
(* this is not true. Everyone has meetings)
I could list the bad things, the many, many bad things. But today I am celebrating the good.

10 Reasons to read James Goss
1. The humour – “Duchess, did you miss me?” “Only just.”
2. Great representation of much loved characters - Rory in Dead of Winter and that reflection on the three way relationship between the Dr, Amy and Rory. - And Rhys Williams (a real hero in Torchwood)
3. Reality in toe curling clarity – trying to retrieve post from a parcel depot
4. The humour – vampires playing bingo; the cat poem in ‘The mind’s eye’.
5. The politics – gender politics in Almost Perfect; comment in Risk Assessment about who creates risk in the risk society
6. The song lyric references - “Gypsies, tramps and … vagabonds”
7. Interesting characters – Layla in Dead Air; Maria in Dead of Winter; Gerald Conway in House by the Sea
8. Relationship with fandom
9. The humour and humanity - Ghost Train (my favourite)
10. Oh! And the stories are good (clever, dark and funny)
(10 should be 1 really but there’s only so much sycophancy I can achieve in one response)
Long may you freelance.
