These people do this for a living. They’re good at it and we only need to be distracted or misled once. I’m glad you only lost €71.

Sympathy I hope. I’m sorry.
I actually rather like that one, though I reread Kraken relatively recently and that doesn’t depict it at all.
Still possibly my favourite invasion novel. It’s not even clear the aliens started hostile - we fire first.
I think it’s supposed to be people asleep at the start of the book maybe, except his eyes are open and I think the birds were asleep too.

For some reason I struggle to get too excited by the existence of genres I don’t personally read (without really disagreeing with your point on genre more broadly).
They’re a lot slimmer for one thing, so have to cut to the chase quicker.
Not always a good thing, but sometimes it definitely can be.
It was a did not finish for me. I was quite surprised.
Yeah it’s great, it was just a massive surprise
I was really taken aback by that. I guess Le Carre hadn’t quite figured out direction yet for Smiley.
I think we can judge Rand by her readers.
Macbeth
Ah, well I trust you on that. They won’t replace him after just appointing him though.
Bragg was a master of the blunt “I don’t want to talk about her middle years yet, let’s stick to her first vision” (was listening to the Margery of Kempe episode the other day)
It’s early days. Mightn’t it improve?
Aiming is fine but biology is fickle…
Well, I know what my nightmares will be about tonight!
Then even in a convent I don’t want carpet in the toilet area!
This. I wouldn’t want a carpet in any toilet area used by men.
I could finally play Exalted without having to do a degree first!
On a vaguely related note, did you finish I Was a Teenage Exocolonist? What was the playtime like?
I had a horrid cold and couldn’t make it. Gutted to have missed it, though probably for the best given coughing, sneezing and general sniffiness.
What eggs do you use? Your eggs always look particularly tasty.
Feel that sentence should have had a phnarr phnarr in it somewhere.
It is not I think it’s fair to say a subtle show.
No the winner is Gawdland or Kate as you say, always has been, but I’d like to see her in the final still.
Plus I noticed the camera was mostly on Mariah
Yes, saw the black swan coming but not the blood and definitely not the black tears. Early on I thought Naomy wouldn’t last long unless they were very lucky. Now I think they absolutely deserve to be in the final.
Agree with that and not sure Zahirah would have enjoyed sending Mariah home.
Nice to see them cooperate though and do some joint stuff. I’ve not seen that before.
Naomy’s reveal was spectacular.
Ah, I do like sitting and reading while I wait for the screen to open. Curzons generally do that well. Prince Charles I love but hasn’t space for it.
Scala, which decades on I still miss, there was a chance someone was doing something very dodgy near you but they wouldn’t interrupt your reading.
