Rule 12: The bathroom is not a library, there are far more pleasant, not to mention less smelly, places to read your book. Don’t linger in there, get in get out.
Rule 26: Cushions are not spiritual advisors.
Rule 260: Decide on your tattoo. Then wait a year.
Rule 386: Don’t call it a wedding invite. It’s an invitation. You invite people to your wedding with an invitation.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Kitty perform live a couple of times. I also enjoy her various appearances on TV shows and televised comedy festivals. She’s my kind of funny. I feel like I know her. I certainly know her voice, her inflections and tone. As a read her 488 rules, I could hear her in my head. That’s a good thing, by the way. It added to the funny.
488 Rules id highly recommended during these strange times when a good laugh can make all the difference.

- Her dad is John Flanagan, the children’s writer of The Ranger’s Apprentice series.
- The book started as a joke inspired by Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life. Obviously 12 were never going to be enough in Kitty’s world!
- Kitty has one of the most comprehensive wikipedia bio’s I’ve ever read!
- Obviously a favourite.
- If you haven’t seen her performances in Utopia yet, then make it your mission for the rest of this lockdown period, to binge watch this funny/not funny/too close to real life Working Dog series.

I'm pretty sure by bathroom she means toilet, lavatory, wc. Which I've always found an odd place to read. Bill

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what she meant too, but was trying not to crossover into over-sharing mode 😀
