Guest Patrokles Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'm going to completely overhaul the site tomorrow night and add all the new songs, remove dead wood, redesign, etc, etc. So hang fire until the weekend!

Mowen 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Given up on Midnight's Children for the forseable future, couldn't be fucked anymore. Went for Fever Pitch after that as something a bit light hearted and enjoye it a lot, certainly spoke to my inner geek. Reading The Bookseller of Kabul - Asne Seierstad at the moment, very interesting although seems a little preachy at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10674 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I reckon that's the first and last time Plato had Chris Moyles listed as a contemporary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even want a 5 minute conversation with the prick, never mind have to read his life story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I wonder if Moyles mentions his graveyard shift stint with Severn Sound, the local radio station here in Gloucester. Whenever he talked about his career when he first started with Radio 1 he completely glossed over that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordieshandy 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Just finished Christopher Brookmyre's A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Blacked Pencil. Excellent, but that was hardly a shock, for me he is one of the best writers around at the moment, top in that genre certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
