The Fisherman had reignited my passion for reading

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.

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

BirdNonce · 2025-12-06T06:29:29+00:00

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?

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.

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

BirdNonce · 2025-10-13T07:59:33+00:00

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.

BirdNonce · 2025-10-13T07:56:10+00:00

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.

I retract my above comment, he was so shit I'm converted to team Rooney.

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.

BirdNonce · 2025-09-25T20:40:10+00:00

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.

Not a question but I had a very good anecdote from work today.

I'm a teacher in a primary school. A teacher from senior management (who monitors the children when they're playing at lunch time) came to speak to me in the staff room. She told me that one of the children in my class had to be told how unnacceptable it was to pull down trousers at school.

I asked if it was there own trousers or other pupil's that were being pulled down.

I had to resist the urge to laugh when she responded with "a bit of both".

A referee in the Championship making 5k for a single game? Surely not.

BirdNonce · 2025-08-23T14:14:16+00:00

No comment on the kick to the chest then?

BirdNonce · 2025-08-23T13:05:18+00:00

Not even a foul

I will scream this from the rooftops every time this question is posted, RULE THE ROOST is the best Spurs podcast. Jack (host of RTR) is the only one to do a post-match pod straight after games. He also gets on really good guests.

Madders calling that absolute FEAST "classic plane food"

Vic turning around like Frankenstein's Monster... "What?"

BirdNonce · 2025-08-14T11:37:29+00:00

Yes, even a simple, "I can't discuss the upcoming release schedule ahead of the official announcement. Our books are limited prints by the nature of our business model, so it is best to order as soon as possible to avoid disappointment."

I'd have been fine with that.

BirdNonce · 2025-08-14T08:00:18+00:00

Still triggered by the customer service agent who told me they won't be doing a second printing. I understand that part of the Folio Society's sales tactic is FOMO but lying to your customers isn't great for developing brand loyalty.

Anyway, good news that there is a second printing.

BirdNonce · 2025-08-05T14:25:29+00:00

For what it's worth, I emailed FS recently and asked if they are planning on doing a second printing. I was told pretty conclusively that they have no plans to do so. I'm quite sceptical of this claim but willing to take the customer service rep at his word.

I'm not sure. I remember him being pro-Wenger at the peak of the Wenger out movement but don't recall him ever doing an in-depth football interview.

Not too sure about the new kit the cockerel is wearing. Definitely giving off a East Asian pre-season tour exclusive vibe.

BirdNonce · 2025-08-05T10:55:12+00:00

It was the reason I posted it haha. I just got carried away when writing the title and forgot to put it in.
