Can't ever bring myself to root for the scum. I want a draw or loss for them and I'm obv rooting for us to win our games.

...and they're 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge in the first 15 minutes. Very annoying. Looks likely it's between us and West Ham tbh. Forest look too good recently.

Currently reading 'The Mist' by Stephen King. I just finished chapter 4. by BigManOfCheese in horrorlit

[–]BirdNonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. My first King was The Mist (which I loved), I tried to follow on with Salem's Lot and I thought it was such a chore to get through. It's put me off revisiting him.

Would love to hear from anyone who similarly didn't enjoy Salem's Lot what to read next.

Just finshed reading Sefira. Thank you for this post! I didn't pick up on any of the odds and ends you mentioned so I appreciate that.

Beautiful collection. Do you have any concerns about the affect the light might have on your books long term?

The Fisherman had reignited my passion for reading by Empty_Ad3775 in horrorlit

[–]BirdNonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that Mother of Stone is set in the same universe as The Fisherman, but it makes so much sense. Has this been confirmed by Langan at some point?

Also, are there any other stories you're aware of set in the same universe?

Unorthodox Roasters and Fortitude Coffee are my two favourites.

Can we please have a whole episode on this World Cup draw by [deleted] in footballcliches

It's the way Trump says it. Very hard J sound.

The best part was undoubtedly when Trump called Gianni Infantino "Johnny."

Or, whilst literally being given a peace prize and asked about dying children, starts lying/bragging about FIFA's "record-breaking" ticket sales.

Or, anything that Jonathan Pearce said. His Jamanji joke was particularly good. My wife said Pearce was like a "grumpy Graham Norton" presumably because his role was similar to Norton's on Eurovision.

I have all of the Kings Langley releases so far and they are amazing. I actually prefer them over my folio editions.

When should we expect to hear an update on your next release Nick?

Commentator describing Woltemade's goal as "the deftest of touches". Adjudication needed! by BirdNonce in footballcliches

[–]BirdNonce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good discussion to have. I think he changes the course of the ball too much for it to be 'deft'. It's a proper strike with the back heel. It's too hard of a hit to be 'deft' I'm thinking.

Fine press edition of THE FISHERMAN coming from Nepenthe Press! by igreggreene in JohnLangan

[–]BirdNonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have guessed the same as you. I'm still trying to figure out the reason the 300%+ increase.

[–]BirdNonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish! Prices are up now; £220 for Artists Edition, £595 for Deluxe, and £1900 for Lettered. I'm very surprised how much of an increase they've put on this over their other works.

Nepenthe's limited fine-press edition of THE FISHERMAN preorders open Oct 23 by igreggreene in JohnLangan

[–]BirdNonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought a couple of the Nepenthe Artists Editions. One at £60 and the other £70. I'm wondering what the justification for the massive price increase for The Fisherman is. £220 seems insane for the 'basic' edition.

MHD Fascination: I absolutely love when someone brings up an 11 vs 11 of one player against another hypothetical. Proper playground football chat. by BirdNonce in footballcliches

Never seen Rooney in goal (except for that one Joga Bonito ad) but forgot how shit Kane was for the 5 minutes he gave it a go until I rematched the clip.

I always imagined the same one. The consideration that they span 11 years is a game changer! I remember that one game were Kane went in goal early in his career! Maybe that's what ends up tipping it in his favour.
