I've not bought a book in at least 13 years, I got my signed copy today and have taken it to bed with me to snuggle down and read❤ your podcast has helped me thru some really shitty years and I love how much success it has brought both you and us G&Divas, 2 very special people who deserve the world. TYSM. 😊😊
I love how the book is cleverly written so it reads like actually listening to an episode of the podcast the way William and Jordan talk us and also converse with each other, it perfectly conveys their chemistry into written format. I also really appreciate how the first chapter feels like a nod to ‘Help I Was Sick On A First Date’, the sentiment of it makes me smile. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far.
2:49 Dear William, Both the Telegraph and the Guardian both advocate using “a hotel, a historian” in their style guides in line with the Oxford Dictionary. We pronounce the H in both words in English.
I just got a copy of the book and spent all my hour bus journey reading it and now sat at home reading it and loving it, you guys got me back into reading ❤❤❤❤❤
Hate to correct you but A is the correct beginning of the sub-title of your new book, which is fab btw! You say A when the next word begins in a consonant and AN when the next word begins with a vowel. A hilarious is the correct form. I'm a qualified English teacher so of course I had to correct it! Love you loads xx
You use AN if the H is silent and A if it is not. An honour, a hound. If you pronounce ‘hotel’ with a silent H then AN is fine but if you pronounce the H then A is correct. Nothing to do with traditional vs modern English but rather accents and whether those accents pronounce the H or not.
William, I am traditional, it might be down to where you are educated. I was educated in Kent. Use AN before H. It annoys me no end when people use an A. 🐨🐨🦘
Well it’s incorrect because in English we pronounce the H in “hotel” and “historian” for instance. Both the Telegraph and The Guardian both advocate for the use of “a hotel” in their style guides in line with the Oxford Dictionary. So you’re not correct.
Please offer to be the new presenters on “This Morning” - ratings would soar !!!
I just spent the last 45 minutes lay in the bath reading the book just because it's the only place I get some bloody peace and quiet

Bought the book yesterday at Waterstones and finished it today. Absolutely amazing, well done boys!
I just got a copy of the book and spent all my hour bus journey reading it and now sat at home reading it and loving it, you guys got me back into reading ❤❤❤❤❤

"Is that alright 😏" 😂 yes William, that's a great title
Hello from Southern California

“The man in me”. Aaaaaaaaand Ben’s gone!
I'm with ben, been putting my laptop on it's side on the floor since I was a teen when the laptop would overheat and die!
I preorderd the book from Waterstones and received it yesterday Thursday but it isn't signed i was looking forward to getting a signed copy xx
Just as "Have I changed" popped into my head EPB said it 😂
Nothing wrong with leaving the open laptop on the floor, on its side. I do it all the time.
Im getting this books all the way in south africa
The Etiquette in me 😅

Quite. However, both the Telegraph and Guardian’s style guides advocate for the use of “a hotel, a historian” in line with the Oxford Dictionary.
It is literally as if Jordan is still learning the language 😆 How does he talk on Radio 1?
Write a note on a note card and place it inside the the front cover with a paper clip rather than write on the actual book.
Please stop talking about the book. It is very boring.
William, I am traditional, it might be down to where you are educated. I was educated in Kent. Use AN before H. It annoys me no end when people use an A. 🐨🐨🦘
If the H is silent it is considered a vowel sound so you use AN but if the H is not silent it is a consonant sound so you use A.
Well it’s incorrect because in English we pronounce the H in “hotel” and “historian” for instance. Both the Telegraph and The Guardian both advocate for the use of “a hotel” in their style guides in line with the Oxford Dictionary.
So you’re not correct.
