Met a chap and his girlfriend last night. He was Swiss, but, had English ancestry. His surame was Firth. I jokingly said you must be related to Colin Firth (Pride & Prejudice, King's Speech) . He replied "yes, he's my cousin.". Wow!
@writingcommunity How do you deal with the excruciatingly long wait between finishing a manuscript and seeing it in print?
My debut novella #DRECK has been waiting with the publisher so long that #dreampunk legend Jeff Noon read it and wrote a nice little review a full year and a half ago (#bragging, #nameDropping). Edits and illustrations are complete, just waiting in line behind one other book now. 🥲

What if #Zoom was never popular but all the #namedropping made it popular.

@Leo_Henry Tu peux y aller les yeux fermés (un peu technique pour voler, mais bon). Tu fais partie du public visé. J'aurais pu mentionner Volodine aussi tiens, mais je serais tombé dans le piège scélérat du #namedropping.
I once met Sharleen Spiteri (Texas) in a pub on Byers Road, Glasgow. She was absolutely lovely, and even more gorgeous in person than she appears in her music videos.
bon par ce temps moite, je pense qu’un pastis 51 avec des croustilles saveur cacahuète est tout à fait adapté
j’hésite à ajouter une larme de grenadine

We agree.
Also judging by the heavy #namedropping by #culturalElites of a particular #Amazon-hosted #videoConferencing app, we are almost certain that there's a few very #greasedPalms out there.
Even amidst the current controversy surrounding the #security flaws in the app, the positive name-dropping is shameless.
As we've been saying lately, now is the time for #freeSoftware to shine.
