  1. @ian_sales @iannmcdonald Cheers.
  2. @Bob_Richards awww!
  3. @drumbux Still think "Lufthansa Terminal" is a good name for a band.
  4. @Cacotopos No, they'd be an Average White Band/REO Speedwagon/Aztec Camera tribute act. Which is a scary thought.
  5. @ian_sales @iannmcdonald Too obscure for me.
  6. @drumbux Seen this? youtube.com/watch?v=avtfpN… - especially the bit starting about 2.30 into it.
  7. "Average Speed Camera" is my new band name.
  8. Come on, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, put out another record. We haven't got all day.
  9. @David_Heb I'd go and see a film about putting too many things on the back of a donkey.
  10. You spoil us with your "one pound ninety gift card".
  11. I didn't spend 2 years of my life writing BRE just so it could be traded in for a "gift card of up to one pound ninety."
  12. Attention Amazon: encouraging people to trade in new books makes books seem like the disposable commodities you seem to think they are.
  13. @KateSherrod I've not actually been to Balticon - maybe you're thinking of Boskone? I was guest there a couple of times.
  14. Happy birthday to @Casherr - have a great one!
  15. @SpaceAmbassador I've never been a fan of Wales but thought I'd try my luck with the Severn Bridge. Once again I was disappointed.
  16. @PaulGrahamRaven That's nothing, you should see the blood on the carpet in Skiffle circles...
  17. @PaulGrahamRaven Oh, god, yes - I forgot that thrash and death metal are radically different music forms. #sarky
  18. @jamesk nowt wrong with not liking short fiction - my wife isn't a big fan - but surely you then keep away from collections?
