Anyway, you're all giving us a bad name over at TOP. The bunker crew are citing waffle, bells, whistles and infantilism as reasons to steer clear of this board. It's all a bit sad.  Hmmm; I suppose widespread bloodshed and carnage, and censorship with neither rhyme nor reason are more appropriate to discussion of R3 output... |

......which you can buy from a little bookshop, which looks just as it ought to, just opposite the British Museum.
George, that would be 'Gosh' Comics, I think? A treasure trove of subversive stuff, mostly graphic novels and comics, but other stuff too. Or are you thinking of somewhere else? Not that one actually, Martle, though I think I know the one you mean. No, this is a real old-school antiquarian and second-hand bookshop, tweed jackets and leather elbows, the faint odour of damp hay, voices lowered and where 'I've got something behind the counter which I think might interest you, Sir' means not what it traditionally means but a first edition of 'Some Lesser East Anglian Signal Boxes' in its original dustjacket, very slight badger-marked on rear obverse. Jarndyce, 45 Great Russell Street. My kinda place  |

I can't help feeling it might depend on how you constrict your anus.

Ian, you hit the sack at about 3am? That's about when I wake up with my insomnia.
I think we should post album and CD covers here that we find particularly interesting. I have a theory that since LPs were replaced by the smaller CDs, there has been less imagination employed in catching the eyes of purchasers.

I feel I must leap in to defend "On Sledge & Horseback to Remote Siberian Lepers"  I actually have this book, and it's a really remarkable piece of writing. There is also a secret history behind the Kate Marsden story, which cannot be found in this book - a friend of mine is researching it for publication currently, so I can't say any more than this |

They say travel broadens the mind - but in many cases travel has made the mind not exactly broader, but thicker.

Well, there are some new nominations for the Bookseller/Diagram prize for the oddest book title:    (for others whose covers are not findable on Google images, see http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2029872,00.html ) |
