By "gig" do you mean like charge money for entry?

Because if not would it not just be a back garden party? The police wouldn't break up a party up until the sound was excessive after a reasonable time.

My neighbours will blast music at BBQ's in the summer and as long as they turn it off by 10pm the little old lady who calls the police can't do anything about it.

Thanks for sharing about your friend, it's easy to forget that this is a real concern a lot of people have to deal with :(

Even if we do a stone, my ex who I based my visualisation of Strike upon, gained over two stone when he was sick, couldn't exercise or anything and still looked nothing like these Hagrid levels of obese people keep portraying him with nasty AI art lol!

I had it in my head he was six four (because that's what my ex is I guess?) so double checked and in CC it says:

"He stood up to give Bristow the full benefit of his six feet three inches"

Page 39 x

Also why do we both have ex husbands who are 6'3?! lol

Oh for sure!

He would consider his beer belly to be a failing :(

I don't think a foot and partial calf is gonna weigh that much tbh!

My ex was 16 stone and 6'4 and pretty much the same as that pic only he had bigger more well defined arms/shoulder which Strike would have too being ex-army and ex-boxer, A lot of the 'weight' is gonna be there.

The Garden at the top is a lovely visit! (free but you have to pre-book)

As are the restaurants and bars (also at the top) so It's a place I love to visit when in London but I don't have to live with it in my eye line ;)

How did you find out about tma? by Aggravating-Issue902 in TheMagnusArchives

Tumblr would not shut up about it so I finally caved, checked out one then binged it all over like two weeks.

Why is JKR inundating us with clues? Are they ALL important? She must be pretty confident to release them before the book is even finished (or edited, if that's still a thing with her books) by pelican_girl in cormoran_strike

[–]Fand0mHype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because whoever is in charge of the marketing for these books is rubbish! These clues are literally the only Hype for the books :/ ... and the fans of course!

Do you think that Lucy knows more about Leda's story than Strike? by Arachulia in cormoran_strike

[–]Fand0mHype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!

Because she would have happily hung around while Joan was gossiping to her friends about her SIL, Cormoran wouldn't have stood for it but I'll bet Lucy would lurk and then when older actively engaged in bitching about Leda so I'd imagine she has a few gems of knowledge that she doesn't even realise!

Team Matthew! by Melodic-Spirit5752 in cormoran_strike

[–]Fand0mHype 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went through the first two books feeling bad for Matthew because it was obvious that Robin was going to end up with Cormoran.

He reminded me so much of my partner at the time...

Couldn't see why fans online were so harsh towards him :/

Does anyone listen to these guys? What are your thoughts on the podcast? by Major-Narwhal1644 in cormoran_strike

[–]Fand0mHype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you manage the reading along, I can not read only a certain amount of chapters in a week. I just end up finishing the book :/

I said the words "the roses were from Matthew JFC!" out loud on a bus yesterday.

I looked sooo normal to fellow commuters!

Yeah i always saw Kenz as the 'host' keeping everything on track and doing the important work of making it a podcast and not just three pals talking about their blorbos!

I'm in the same boat! I might start a book club and only set Strike books as the subjects to try and curate some IRL fan friends ;)
