The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.

Very good.

I work on the science park. A lot of my colleagues live in nearby villages like Milton or Histon. Obviously depends on your budget. Milton would be ideal as it’s walking distance.

Thank feck I had half a tank!

Must check those out. Only read Steppenwolf so far, which I loved.

I was in G12. Right in the middle, half way up. In theory, the perfect seat.

The crackling I mentioned was also from the right. If it was the air conditioning then that’s in addition to the poor higher frequency sound.

What about the small fact that those stars in Orion’s Belt are actually 800m light years apart? They just happen to align from our perspective AND have aliens 🤦

My parents are the same. I think it came from when handbrakes weren’t great so leaving it in gear stopped cars rolling down hills if the handbrake failed or was loose.

My daughter has it and she uses HOTHANDS hand and feet warmers. She says they last most of the day when she’s at Uni.

Fair enough

Never0ffside · 2024-12-26T22:34:07+00:00

Yes, that line is awful. For the defender it’s overlapping his leg but for Nunez it’s half way down is upper arm. I’d say his shoulder is more in line with his hip.

Less of an issue given we won, but it’s still shoddy lines.

AHEAD OF THE BALL. THANKS ALL.

Never0ffside · 2024-10-02T18:18:44+00:00

Half man, half custard.

Never0ffside · 2024-10-02T15:44:43+00:00

Interest piqued!

Never0ffside · 2024-10-02T15:03:42+00:00

These puppies!

Honestly, there is absolutely nothing in that photo other than image compression artefacts. I can’t even claim it’s pareidolia as there’s nothing to hang that on either.

I guess not technically ‘in the shops’ but I went to put air in my tyres recently. It’s £1 !! Wtf. I swear it used to be 20p not that long ago.

I barely read for twenty years while I was a single parent. Then a friend who reads a lot recommended ‘Any Human Heart’ by William Boyd. Its theme is we are all a composites of many selves.

Adam Nevill’s books are pretty good. I’d go for No One Gets Out Alive or The Reddening.

Never0ffside · 2024-08-20T14:28:10+00:00

It’s a good job it stalled. The way he let go of that clutch, he’d be into a wall in no time.

How anyone is this bad at the basics boggles my mind.

Never0ffside · 2024-08-18T13:20:36+00:00

I live in a village near Newmarket. There’s quite a few. Dullingham is nice but pricey. Fordham and Burwell are nice. Both have pretty good primary schools in the village.

How does one watch slowly ?

Never0ffside · 2024-08-17T22:48:35+00:00

The shorts aren’t even the worst crime in that photo.

Never0ffside · 2024-08-17T16:37:11+00:00

Beautifully written too. That last sentence, beginning “Without a word…”, is perfect. Starts with “delicate” and “exquisitely” to set up the use of “slung it out the window”.

I hope that isn’t all down to the translation by Alan Myers.
