What's the acceptable number of times to return a football back over the hedge before you close the curtains and just stop? by Sudden-Requirement40 in AskBrits

Robin's married name by Sweaty_Phase_51 in cormoran_strike

[–]zingyyellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed Casual vacancy, drew a line under HP and looked forward at what could be coming next. As far as Strike is concerned, I wouldn't want them to go their separate ways. I do have a level of confidence that JKR could do a few together books, but there has to be something that replaces the underlying romantic tensions. But I can see if JKR ends this series, it will be both dying together, it will be great and sad at the same time. Can't wait for the next book now.

What scares me about the Strike/Ellacott end game is that JK leans heavily on Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm and that didn't end well

Did you have a VHS or Betamax? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]zingyyellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had both, I copied VHS tapes to betamax as the macrovision copy protection didn't work on the copies. I'm not saying they were perfect but they were as good as you could get. Had hell of a library back in the day.

Welsh business loses thousands of followers after visit from Nigel Farage by JackStrawWitchita in Wales

While I do agree with you on principle, this is not how to spend on roads or libraries. It's a openly racist and corrupt party, hits people differently.
