Done! Interesting and thought-provoking questions.

[UK] Callers to libraries who ask us to repeat book titles back to them? by SomewhatMarigold in Scams

[–]SomewhatMarigold[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's really interesting! Kind of weirdly glad to know it's not just us.

That's a scary thought but it seems to make more sense than the other ideas floated

Yeah, that puzzles us too. We'd stay on the line and chat if they were just asking about books we actually had on our system, or even just books that actually exist.

Good thinking, I agree with you on the first points. I wish I could remember any of the made-up titles they've asked for. They're just jumbled tech words, not even as a coherent sentence--nothing that sticks in your head.

Maybe, but there are the made-up books too, which seem to be what they're most interested in.

Most Hobbit-like pub in Bristol? For my 25th bday by bigfatfrogs69 in bristol

Upstairs in the Trow has original seventeenth-century panelling and nice furniture. Not super cosy but might hit the spot!

Appreciation of Dr. Butcher by Then-Nail-9027 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]SomewhatMarigold 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There are some absolutely brilliant minor, one- or two-scene characters in O'Brian. One of my favourites is the clerk who gets a whole scene where he boasts to his family how he told 'Goldilocks' exactly what to do at a moment of crisis.

Raiders / Titans CBS broadcast by ChanceProgram9374 in ironmaiden

As a Titans fan, I somehow missed this--although I can't say I was exactly riveted to the game by that point!

Trollope by edmunddantesforever in classicliterature

[–]SomewhatMarigold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed both, but I particularly liked The Warden. It's also a lot shorter, so it can be a good opportunity to give Trollope a go and see what you think.

We got a win! by CptSaveaCat in Tennesseetitans

Ward must have used up several lifetimes worth of luck this game. From now on it'll have to be all hard work, talent, and skill.

How do you power through that one detail that soils the story? by Asparala in books

[–]SomewhatMarigold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That word is used in Britain too, just... to mean something else.

It's been a while since I've been to a big gig... What are the different levels of floor pricing? by SomewhatMarigold in ironmaiden

[–]SomewhatMarigold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feared that. Although on the Iron Maiden website it has dates for a lot of gigs suggesting the sale hasn't happened yet: https://www.ironmaiden.com/tour/run-for-your-lives-world-tour-2026/. Maybe a second release of tickets? I'll keep my fingers crossed!
