That sounds made up, but I'm not a doctor so I'll allow it 😁
But I'm wondering if anyone knows what this disease is called? 🤔
My genetic disorder just makes me want to pee all the time 😂

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.

It's not that I *can't* read all of the books I already have, it's that once a reader finishes all the books in their possession, they transcend into their final form and I'm just not ready to become a librarian yet.

An alternative account of the Bruce–de Bohun duel at Bannockburn appears in 1066 & ALL THAT (published 1930), by WC Sellar & RJ Yeatman, as one of the reasons (all unfair) for the English defeat

(Historical curiosity: WC Sellar, a Scot, was grandson of Patrick Sellar, the Duke of Sutherland’s factor during the Clearances)

“Of aal the fish there iss in the sea,” said Para Handy, “nothing bates the herrin’; it’s a providence they’re plentiful and them so cheap!”

Neil Munro (1863–1930) – journalist, novelist, short-story writer, & poet – was born #OTD, 3 June. Rigby’s Encyclopaedia of Herring discusses Munro’s PARA HANDY stories, as well as giving the full text of the tale “The Herring – A Gossip”
