Read the "House" books, which... were readable. Tried the "Butlerian Jihad" next which was... awful. HOWEVER and possibly of great interest to some, a guy at work has brought in the "Uncorrected Bound Proof - Not For Resale" copy of "House Atreides", which seems regular from the outside, but inside is apparently xeroxed. If this fills anyone with incredible excitement and lust for it, tell me, he'd sell it for a few quid. These days, I almost exclusively drink cider. Especially Bulmers pear cider, yum. |

Runcle wrote: Wes Anderson Films I love Wes Anderson films. I loved Life Aquatic, I loved Darjeeling Ltd. Why are critics so completely wrong about him? His films are like being transported into strange and beautiful alternate realities where everything is more colourful, people talk cooler and things unfold like children's storybooks. I'm surprised when critics say his films are heartless. I don't think they are at all. Also, I like cats too, though I am mildly allergic to them. Bah. ALSO: The films of Powell & Pressburger The films of Hayao Miyazaki Not Now Bernard & Angry Arthur Hills and lakes BSG Bluebird Bitter The Lake District Going places with my mates who are all ace. |

That high bit of the M1 when there isn't much traffic around on an early morning. Actually driving anywhere at about 5am on a summers morning. A couple of years ago I drove down to Bath to be there for 6.30am and it was bliss. Then I got the run of an empty Co-Op which was fun. |

Or driving or walking around the deserted streets pretending that you're in the start of a zombie film when everyone else is in the pub or at home watching the England football team get beaten. |

Isn't Pear Cider called Perry? |

I think that's only certain sorts of pear cider. There shoud be some sort of global communications network that we could look this sort of thing up on. |

Perry is not all cider. I don't know enough about perry itself but I think most is fizzy but not all? I know there is fizzy perry. But then not all fizzy ciders are perry. I must have cider now. |

A mate of mine works for Banks' brewery, now owned by Marstons. He gets a discount at the staff shop - I make 'requests' occasionally. Last week I got 24 bottles of Brothers* pear cider for a tenner * Eh. |

I believe that Perry is British Pear Cider. If it's not from Britain in can't be called Perry. Or something. Kinda like champagne. |
