  1. I'll second the recommendation for The Kraken Wakes as well, it is very good!
  2. On the 98th anniversary of its sinking, I watched Titanic last night. James Cameron really is good at making films look great, but by god he can't write romantic dialogue!
  3. Soak the whole shirt in a bottle of cheap red and be brazen!
  4. I like the sinister black spins of the Penguin Classics range, so I always go for them first.
  5. ^ The recent adaptation was pants, if you want to see a good one, get hold of a copy of the 80's version. The book is really rather good though.
  6. ^ Go and read Triffids, now!
  7. Thanks for the suggestions folks, I shall look into some of the above a bit further!
  8. Good lord, you've already read my target number of books for the year!
  9. Yes, I don't quite understand the logic in allowing a weekly magazine to spoil your reveal (especially one that hasn't made its own way onto the net!). This one is what I thought it was (having picked up a copy on the way home). Suffice to say it is another cover spoiler, not quite as bad as the Human Dalek one from a couple of years back, but its still annoying (though maybe only to the hardcore fans!).
  10. ^ I'm talking about the magazine, not the web site.
  11. I've heard a bit more since I posted the above and if it is the spoiler I believe it is then it is more spoilery than the trailer at the end of last weeks episode.
  12. Unless you want this week's episode to be spoiled for you, avoid this weeks Radio Times! (I've not seen it myself, I've just heard that it is rather spoilery).
  13. Granted, bUt YoU gO iNsANe remembering all the embarrasing things you have said down the years. I wish I knew what to wish for next.
  14. The Welsh bit, it's broken again . . . If RTD were still writing the series I could see him putting in a link to Torchwood like that, but I don't think Moffat would do so. I think it is something else, but I have no idea what!
  15. I've re-watched it this afternoon (day-off!), and being more awake it - unsurprisingly - made more sense, although I would still argue that there are some plot holes.
  16. Picked up a few books in London yesterday: Dance, Dance, Dance by Haruki Murakami (I've been looking for a non-knocked about version of this for a while now), The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland (a bargin at
  17. So much for enforced reading time, I managed about six pages on the way up and on the way back the train was full of Chelsea supporters, so not real progress. It's annoying, there is just enough here to hold my interest, but not enough to stop me from putting it down. I think if there was more happening that just people chasing after other people I would be reading this faster. Anyway, for anyone who is interested, I took a look and Forbidden Planet in London has the complete series (in those natty little black covers, though).
  18. I watched this when I got in last night, around midnight, which with hindsight probably wasn't the best move as I found it to be a little flat and a lot of it didn't seem to make much sense. I did like some of the Doctor/Amy moments though. I need to watch it again now I'm a bit more awake, it should hopefully make more sense then!
  19. He's going to be in the next two series of Primeval.
  20. Puns that make the Punters smile, I'll wager!
  21. I watched it again, Matt Smith is smashing!
  22. ^ I've been toying with buying Shogun for a few years now, but in all honesty I've put it back on more than one occasion because of it's length! I really need to bite the bullet, or in this case sword! What is the Japan connection in Neuromancer?
  23. I always seem to draw Soon to be Glue in Grand National sweep stakes.
  24. ^ I should have used a smiley, that was meant to be a joke (whilst also being true!).
  25. Between Haruki Murakami and Studio Ghibli I've started to get quite interested in Japan, so does anyone have any recommendations for books about or featuring the country? I'm pretty much looking for any good reads related to the country so novels, history, travel and cultural books all are fair game.
