Hunt down his show on BBC Radio 2.

Then the storm began, so we retreated to the pub. God hates the Queen (rain on the coronation, and every anniversary.... it's been 27 degrees C for a week until today.....)

Given book three is being split in two, that will be the season 3 finale, no?

And this was on a thread about someone I like semi-leaving. it's not like it isn't relevant. Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:19:21 +0000 http://crasstalk.com/2012/02/monday-open-thread-26/#IDComment292799152 http://crasstalk.com/2012/02/monday-open-thread-26/#IDComment292796225 I think this is a good insight into Multiple Worlds theory, that essentially no-one has any idea about how anyone else filters life to construct their own view of the universe, and thus how no-one can ever know anybody else, ever. Which is what the plot of The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis is essentially about. If anyone wants a movie night.

You're a flavour this place could not survive without.

If you can drag up a thread where I've trolled, I'd be fascinated, because I can't ever remember trolling here. Saying things close-to-the-bone? Obviously, just as 75% of the people here have. Trolling? Never.

Christ-on-a-stick, I genuinely never even considered that. Well. What can I say. It was a joke. OBVIOUSLY a joke, given I've slathered articles that ring my bell with comments. Frankly, that's a bit weird.

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:47:26 +0000 http://crasstalk.com/2012/02/monday-open-thread-26/#IDComment292778796 http://crasstalk.com/2012/02/monday-open-thread-26/#IDComment292773141 I've been aware of this place since it was first announced in Crosstalk a year or so ago, and have read most of the General threads since then, and while there's been the occasional cranky drunken issue - where someone has said something dumb over a couple of drunken late light posts - the only genuine wicked venom I've ever seen here is that which has been (recently) directed at me. Given where a lot of people here came from, there's a lot of strong characters, as well as a lot of double-layered irony tongue-in-cheek-characters. I've never seen anyone else treated like this though, and frankly, I'm a lot less close-to-the-bone than many here (and I love them for that).
