I simply meant a genuine case of it being accidental and not malicious - I did not comment on the rights and wrongs of the process as I’m actually a strong advocate of these penalties to prevent PEDS usage.

This actually sounds like it might be a genuine case. Her previous mental health issues and missing her last test only after announcing she was taking the rest of 2022 off give the impression that she’s was disengaged and had probably stopped updating her location.

No. Clearly no.

As someone starting out in audiobook voice work, it’s something I never realised. Not only is it a challenge to give each character a unique voice without making it cartoonish you then need to keep it consistent over the time you do the read. I have chapter files for each of the characters where I have a baseline read to lock in the voice.

You can be an NBA god and still behave like a 7 year old who made the unbelievable play with their mates.

The City Watch stories are where I would start. It's some of the best writing, the best character in Sam Vimes, some of the best individual stories (Nightwatch), better positions the secondary characters like Death in the Discworld and also murder mystery as your boyfriend likes.

I’ve posted this before. I met her in the 90’s and was surprised by just how striking she was as a very handsome woman. She also had a wonderful and dry sense of humour and was unsurprisingly very kind and considerate.

This was an episode of CSI with Krista Allen as the escort with sedative laced nipples.

As I near a half century, this is one of the best quotes I know. There’s so many bullshit aphorisms out there but this one hits home.

While I’ve never been in a continuous testing program I have been at a level where I’ve been tested in competition so I have some appreciation of the responsibilities of an athlete as I’ve competed against them. I can well imagine the attraction of going “fuck it!” And not updating your location as often as you should.
