    Start of the @BSFA awards ceremony. Rather baffled by John Meaney's presenting style... #eastercon

    I think the BSFA presenters are being funny. It's hard to say, because it's not my sense of humour. #eastercon

    @mkincaidspeller Unfunny monologue about random selection of writers. Not at all awards related.

    OMG, John Meaney declares Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to be true (but calls it "Whorf-Sapir") Facepalm. #bsfaawards #eastercon
