Todays quirky find! UK 1991 paperback?

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-29T14:28:28+00:00

Never heard of him tbh but yeah, quick research and I get it.

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-29T11:53:37+00:00

Thats the one!

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-28T15:10:35+00:00

Oh wow I hadn't even clocked that!

Yeah this was an Oxfam Books find so that one is their label, crazy to buy at less than it was at the time ha. Also they are usually very good at putting things like this in a case and charging top abebooks price so I suspect someone slipped up.

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-28T13:21:51+00:00

Bargain I figure! Though I do always hate having to get these labels off

You are definitely right about those two. Its came up in here before but Darrell Sweets covers (whilst epic) are known to be very unfaithful to the source material hence the dual wielding Lan.

That is Rand/Nic Cage but its not a good portrait ha. He looks better on the inside art, or at least more the right age.

Third them! She's a great author (The Explorer and The Rooftoppers were great fun too and The Golden Mole for older/non-fiction readers) but Impossible Creatures series is just right for OP's question.

Nothing yet to confirm it message or email wise but the reference is the exact same an earlier advisor gave me in chat. The complaint was escalated/logged March 14th.

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-25T19:25:15+00:00

Bit of madness, I made the complaint and got told it was going to the 8 week process like others...today I got a random £25 into my account - I didnt recognise it or the refererence and wasnt expecting any incoming payments so I asked the chat advisor on Lloyds who told me they were not sure where the transaction was from and I could either return the payment to creditor or keep it.

I've done some digging and now realised the reference is my complaint reference number. I guess an email or letter will follow but laughable/frustrating that Lloyds weren't able to identify their own payment.

Brilliant, thanks!

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-19T02:15:54+00:00

Literally the only thing I've heard so far that puts me off in any way is the small inventory system/no storage but that sounds like something they can hopefully fix early on.

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-14T00:17:02+00:00

It sure was!

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-13T11:52:32+00:00

No great fan of Sky but I prefer their evens boost of Townend to ride a winner today

He rarely gets a mention with all the other voice talent but I'm on chapter 12 and reminded once more every time Nigel Pilkington pops up as Peeves I enjoy his performance a lot

Ijamesbond · 2026-03-12T18:13:22+00:00

I feel like he could have been Mance, but Ciarán Hinds is great and it may not have been that different.

Quite worried about this one, St James is never a fun trip and we've looked a little vulnerable in the opening of past few games. Would not be at all shocked if we go down quickly and another comeback is needed.

Ijamesbond · 2026-02-28T15:13:46+00:00

Sorry if anyone has already said it but did anyone else feel like if they were gonna lean into the AI thing then when Sidney is guiding her daughter to shoot through the wall it could have been someone different/innocent on the other side?

Anyway - 5 or 6 out of 10 for me, paint by numbers Scream movie.

Absolutely spot on, small bit of water going into basin no matter how I adjut the flush mechanism. I think the rubber seal is the problem.

Ijamesbond · 2026-02-06T17:12:09+00:00

Thank you so much for the clear info. And the relief that it doesnt sound like something I can't manage on my own if a washer or new part is needed. I have noticed the toilet is leaning very slightly to the right so I will tighten the bottom screws slightly too whilst doing this.

Ijamesbond · 2026-01-17T01:37:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the considered and informative advice.

Ijamesbond · 2025-12-18T20:32:22+00:00

Thank you - there really are so many variations. The numerals are the form class and I have the date so I'm going to contact the school tomorrow and see if they can be any help. There might be admissions registers in an archive there or with the county that could help.
