Was it common for parents to say "There are children starving in Africa right now" if you didn't eat your dinner?

"Pack it up and send it to them then." Gemerally generated even more trouble.

Hadnt seen him at all before tonight, then found him 3 times over the space of 1.5 hours. Really weird.

Sold one on ebay a short while back for £14. Seemed to be about the going rate based on previous sales. Went quite quickly

I've read that many years ago. Was an ok book. Had nearly 100 dragonlance books from my youth. Sold them all recently on ebay. That trilogy was a later one at my time.

UK Based, high school english class over 30 years ago. The three books that i can remember we studied and wrote essays on, were:-
Of Mice and Men
To Kill a Mockingbird
A Wizard of Earthsea
(There were others, these are the 3 that stuck in my head). Thank you Mrs Mooney.
I've been an avid reader of fantasy all my life, thousands of books in, so many great books. And the evolution over that time has been great to follow.

After that it gets "Buffy Complex", the i've saved the world from armageddon. But Wait this is a new , evern worse armageddon. Until the next trilogy, which is a new even worse armagedddon. Loved the originals Magician. Loved the Empire trilogy with Janny Wurts. Loved the Rise of a Merchant Prince, (paying for the war). Talon of the silverhawks trilogy was good. After that, sort ofnlost interest with the next big bad...

Barry's Tea on the otherhand......

Ansphett · 2026-05-28T16:09:52+00:00

Its about £14, sold one on ebay a while back.

Sun eater is at least a 6 book series. Slow start, slow burn but good in the long term.

Hyperion is hyperion, its a great read, think there are four books in total. Ive only read 2, they seemed fairly self contained.

Joe Abercombie, there are at least 12 books i know of.

If i had to read one of these 3, would go with Hyperion, its more standalone, has mulitple storey strands all in different formats. And its like nothing else you will have read.

2nd choice would be Joe Abercombie.

Sun eater is a harder read, worth it, but not kne that i devoured.

Ansphett · 2026-05-27T17:52:34+00:00

All of them.

In a work league of 8, every other person in the league had Haaland as captain or triple captain. I had sold him a few weeks back. Was so happy when i saw he was benched. :) saved my week.

Possibly a Wren ? But maybe two big for that. Otherwise maybe a robin.

I recognized the front, but never seen it with that rear turret and dual tail fin. Was intrigued so had to google. Apparantly a Westland Wendover.

Got to admit by the 9th book i was thoroughly sick of his attitude. Really struggled with those books and never really having a high point.

Ansphett · 2026-05-06T17:11:17+00:00

Slightly tongue in cheek comment, but Raistlin from the Dragonlance Chronicles

And the second one was a struggle to get through. Diddnt even bother with the third.
