  1. Have you tried Necroscope.....ive heard good things & one on my wish list.

     

    Currently reading Prince Of Thorns trilogy. Mark lawrence is a new talent for sure.

     

    I picked up the entire Necroscope series from a local charridy shop for a couple of quid the other day ... I read the first one YEARS ago, and really enjoyed it :)

  2. I picked up a box of about 140 CDs for £30 at the weekend. All of them are in more or less mint condition (which surprised the hell outta me); most of them are 'pop' stuff (Rihanna, Kylie, Madonna, George Michael, Texas ...) so will be moved on at some point, but I kept a few back:

     

    Bon Jovi: Crossroads

    Bon Jovi: These Days

    Bon Jovi: Crush

    Sheryl Crow: Sheryl Crow

    Sheryl Crow: C'Mon, C'Mon

    Fleetwood Mac: Say You Will

    Pulp: Different Class (bringing back wonderful memories of a mis-spent youth)

    Simple Minds: Glittering Prize '82-'92 (worth it for 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' alone :))

    Hey, anyone dig Irish beer ? Can anyone recommend which one is the best ? I'm looking at several imported bottles the other day but have no idea so just pick one, Kilkenny, if i'm not mistaken. Too bitter but not bad though

     

    What kind of beer do you like? There's Harp Lager created by Guinness, oh, and there's Guinness Stout. I prefer Murphy's Irish Stout. Try Smithwick's if you like red ales. I personally love Kilkenny, but you don't want something bitter.

     

     

    The ONLY way to drink Guiness is in Dublin ... my cousin lives in Minnesota, and took me to an 'English Pub', 'cause he knew I liked Guiness ... the stuff they were serving tasted like it had been scraped off the road ... Guiness doesn't travel well, my friends ...

     

    If you're after a nice Irish beer, try Caffreys ... *hic* ...

    Had six pints of this last night; beautiful stuff:

    Great at the time, feeling slightly less good now. ;)

     

    Six got you feeling a little less than good? Lightweight.

     

     

    It's age, mate. I used to go out and drink 10 pints, no worries at all. Changed when I was in my mid-late twenties. Now, even 4 pints can be a bad idea on a work night. Usually 5 is fine, 6 is dodgy midweek and 7 is a definite mistake.

     

     

    Yeah, I don't know if you're old enough to blame it on age.

     

     

    He is, trust me ...

  5. "Dear Mr. Watterson" (2013) this documentary examines the legacy of the greatly missed comic strip "Calvin & Hobbes" - and its enigmatic creator, cartoonist Bill Watterson - through interviews with fellow artists and fans.

     

    I may have to seek this one out ... I LOVE 'Calvin & Hobbes' :)

  6. Saw Soundgarden and Black Sabbath last Friday.

     

    Loved Soundgarden. Still for the life of me can't see the attraction of Sabbath.

     

    I agree with you when it comes to Sabbath - as much as I love the 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' album, I've never understood the fanboy devotion that the Ozzy-fronted lineup inspires ...
