After forty years I finally managed to gt some tunes up on Bandcamp. Some soundtracks, some rock'n'roll, some folk - hope someone likes some of it! colinsalter.bandcamp.com/music

.Edinburgh Airport What in god's name is happening with your lost baggage service? There's never anyone at the Menzies desk, and they never answer the phone, and they knock off hours before the last flights of the day. Not fit for service.

.Edinburgh Airport My wife's baggage was delayed in Frankfurt two days ago and there's been no one at the Menzies desk to ask ever since. Another guy has received a text saying his bag is found (after 2wks), but can't find anyone from Menzies to release it. Help these people!

Has anyone else had bad experiences with @edi_airport lost luggage services Menzies? Has anyone ever had a good experience? Even the baggage handlers raise their eyes when you mention Menzies' name. Online reviews for Menzies are the worst I've ever seen.

Much wrong with the attitudes expressed here. Career MPs who are quitting cos they won't be in power, cos they get abuse, cos it will be "difficult to enter the world of work." Senior Tories fear mass exodus from parliament as dozens of MPs set to quit theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Three days to go till the arrival of my latest book, The Anatomists' LIbrary - lavishly illustrated history of #anatomy told through 3000 years of groundbreaking publications. For the curious and the surgeon in us all! amazon.co.uk/Anatomists-Lib…

TODAY'S THE DAY! My new book The Anatomists' Library is out today, a look at the development of #anatomy through the images and texts of 3000 years of anatomical writing. Hundreds of illustrations, some of them hilariously inaccurate, some groundbreaking in their enlightenment.

Surely the ULEZ is a good thing for the planet? Starmer would be better attacking Tory voters for rejecting it, and turning Uxbridge into a defeat for the environment, not for Labour.

A childhood favourite, Allan Sherman's "You Gotta Have Skin", lines from which I shamelessly shoehorned into the introduction for my new book, The Anatomists' Library! youtube.com/watch?v=0kESYZ…

My Twitter account is effectively closed from today - I will not be tweeting (or posting as X would like us to call it) although I will be checking in for references in a professional capacity. Musk is a complete and utter [insert expletive of choice here]. Find me elsewhere.
