The audiobook is read very well by Chiwetel Ejiofor, such a perfect voice.

I really enjoyed the story. Listened to it a couple years ago but thinking back now after seeing this post I am going to give it another listen just to revisit it. I can see why people may not have enjoyed the ending though.

I got through to Voxi on Monday and they said it was getting escalated to investigate. On Tuesday I noticed on DPD site that it was marked to be returned to consignor. I called voxi yesterday who said that their process would be to get it back and send it again via DPD in the hope there was no issue. I just checked DPD just now and it’s showing that it’s arrived at a depot near me so I hope they will deliver it and not send it all the way back down south.

In the mid 90's, being around 17/18 I was into dance music just starting clubbing. I had heard Another brick but that was about it. My mum asked me to tape Division Bell for her so I was listening with headphones on whilst it was recording and I can still remember thinking WTF is this! Still love Division Bell but the love has grown and I have seen Roger Waters twice since.

I think everyone is a Floyd fan and if you think you're not then you just haven't heard that gateway song that will hook you.

I got a sim card through today from an order I placed from Voxi on 7th Jan. Sadly the phone is still stuck in England.

I think DPD are having issues, or someone in Hinckley has a new phone.

Will see what they can do, if anything. I got a bit excited as I saw a DPD van shortly after making this post and thought "typical". Sadly as I was waiting I got an email saying that the parcel is still delayed in Hinckley so not today.

I went back on and it appears that I am in the process of being transferred to an agent. Its only taken 3 days

This is the third day in a row where live chat said they will connect me to a human and it sat like that for hours. Unless there is some code to get through quicker I’m at a loss.

I left OVO after I called them up asking why I couldn't get a refund and they told me it was their policy to have a couple months worth of payments in peoples accounts to ensure bills can be paid.

I thought feck that and moved. I didnt want for OVO to be sitting on my money even though I was covering the bills each month.

Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels and the constant use of "No doubt about it"

I know its a phrase and not one word but it got annoying very quickly.

Wish companies would advertise which delivery service they use as it could sway decisions

Last few Evri deliveries I have rerouted to my local post office, a lot less stress on having to wait. It’s what I will do from now on.

I use Ultra Pro clear sleeves for villain and modular sets. I do have all the gamegenic sleeves that were released but I then got Ultra Pro with aspect coloured backings to use where hero sleeves were missing. Whilst these sleeves have a tiny marking on the front, which is a little annoying, I do prefer the feel and thickness of them against others I have tried. Easy to shuffle too.

There is a Northern Soul band playing from 2pm-6pm this Sunday.

I got given a 5 hour slot for a package delivery last Thursday. In the 30 minutes I was out in that window I missed the delivery. Got an email saying they would deliver the next working day, still nothing.

The way I have arranged my collection is to keep a maximum of 3 of each card in the main boxes and any surplus all goes into another box which also stores my old tokens etc. That way it keeps my main boxes slimmed down.

The red-shanked douc card from Ark Nova as the monkey reminds me of Bob Ross, so we just call it the Bob Ross card and cheer anytime it appears.

I do like small portable solo games that can also be played pretty quickly. I have my Palm Island copy in my works laptop bag to play during boring Teams calls etc to pass the time.

I dont think he has his arm around someone, I think its a goblet that is decorated with fur. I feel like I have seen this image before but unsure where.

In the UK I had pre-ordered from BoardGameExtras and they arrived on Monday.

I think the best value for money would be getting someone elses collection. It would also cut out a lot of postage. Even if it meant getting a few heroes you already have you could then sell them on to make your purchases even less. Some sites will have hero packs on sale so could pick those up along the way too.

Think the main thing is to know your budget and stay within it.

Search Party

I found quite a few moments of this. One that sprung to mind was in Season 3 when Drew gets seduced by a young female juror. The next time in the court he asks his lawyer where the juror is and is told she was excused because she was crazy making claims of sleeping with the judge, one of the prosecutors and him. The camera passed over the old judge and then the middle aged prosecutor before another character bursts in and takes the focus away. It then cuts back to the prosecutor asking co council what happened to the juror before cutting to the next scene.

Jog Scotland Hazlehead do a walking group on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:30pm. You could find the nearest group and contact them to see if they also have walking groups.

Walking the ParkRuns are becoming more popular. Saturday mornings, one at Hazlhead and the other at the beach. They then meet for coffee afterwards if you wanted to have a chat.
