  1. @R.J. While he's at it I wish he'd finish The Kingkiller Chronicle, too.
  2. Brandon Sanderson is one of my favourite fantasy authors. Considering he was first published (Elantris by TOR) in 2005 he has produced a huge amount of work - often several books a year. The Stormlight Archives, Sanderson's epic fantasy, is designed to have two 5 book sequences. Presently, we're at number 4 of the first sequence - the first book being titled 'The Way Of Kings.' However, three years before he was published he wrote a first version of the book now titled 'The Way Of Kings Prime.' Sanderson has now released The Way Of Kings Prime, for free. Also, he has had it read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading (who read all his other books), and that too is free. The Way Of Kings Prime - epub, mobi & PDF The Way Of Kings Prime - audio
  3. Good one, James. It is reminiscent of 'The Place In Between.'
  4. Chapter 11... Awww. I predict: Trip and James sitting up a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
  5. Sorry to disappoint, but the Tardis is a Police box. Telephone boxes are red. Yes we were, and we will. Brains are good... a zombie told me. I had one once - a brain, not a zombie. I'll go now.
  6. I'd have to agree. Write what you know - and extrapolate from it is my niche: Very 20th century. So sorry. Now, there is a generation that has always had smart technology, and can't conceive what it was like without it. I, for my sins, remember telephone boxes. Why do you want to know about the authors, James? What difference does it make to the stories they tell? Either you enjoy them or you don't. It doesn't matter if they're a 300lb transvestite living in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and one finger typing, or a twink of twinks. The story is the thing... though (and this is a secret), I can say I'm a very cute Emu.

Regular service is now resumed.
  7. I hope it asks for consent, because otherwise, in these days of the lunatic 'woke', legal proceedings are bound to follow. Personally, I can't wait to be ravaged by your prose.
  8. It's rough when you find out the one you've set your sights on bats for another team. Nor me. Is it from 'Historical Sayings - volume 3' ?
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngaio_Marsh Ngaio is a Maori name. She's well worth reading.
  10. What's more important is the why and when... The Balkan conflict, which was just as bad as the second world war, included shudderingly horrific ethnic cleansing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing_in_the_Bosnian_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_genocide
  11. Blimey... who'd have thought it.
  12. Concur! Also, I'm somewhat miffed that Trip and Tanner know more about Europe than I do. Let's get back to the size of the pool...
  13. That's it! Stand in the corner until class ends...
  14. Ah, growth spurts. I remember those.
  15. You're quite right, Nigel. The land is the thing... and the banks. But no Ulster Unionists. They can, along with the entire cabinet, move to St. Helena. The Maryland diaspora can camp out in the grounds of Mar-a-Lago.
  16. Humph. You should watch 'Passport To Pimlico.' (a classic Ealing comedy) before you scoff at our eccentricity. Also, one of my ancestors apparently founded Maryland... and I'd like it back, if you'd be so kind.
  17. All four countries have their own parliaments, but they have limited power and are really run from London. The UK (United Kingdom / Great Britain) left the EU last year in what was termed Brexit. However, Ireland is still part of the EU, and Brexit means border controls between Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is upsetting the delicate balance achieved in the peace talks (which stopped the sectarian fighting - Catholics killing Protestants and visa versa). Leaving the largest trading block on the planet was plainly stupid, but that's politics for you...
  18. I'm somewhat sorry I mentioned the pool. 😬
  19. Sadly, the UK is four countries. And, after Brexit (which our poxy, rotten, Prime Minister stuffed up), Scotland now wants complete independence... not that it's going to get it. I don't mean to rain on the parade, but a 50 meter pool in the back garden... really? That's 160ish feet. HUGE! And 660.000 gallons of water. I wouldn't fancy paying to heat it. Other than those wee niggles, I is lurvin' it.
  20. Now on sale at Amazon.com for $0.99, and Amazon.co.uk for £0.99.
  21. Glad you like 'em! I worry about being the last emu loitering, too.

    I think he's really busy with work... I hope so, anyway. Best to ask Herr Parker, or El Dude; they'll know.
  23. Love it! 😂 I forget the names of characters I've written, too.
  24. Emma Raducana, the British 18 year old, went to the US Open on spec as she wasn't ranked in the top 300. So first, she had to qualify to play...! During her phenomenal run to the final, where she played Canada'a 19 year old Leylah Fernandez, Raducana didn't drop a set. She won the final 6-4, 6-3. Thanks to Amazon Prime Video, who allowed the UK's Channel 4 to broadcast the final, I got to watch the match live. WOW!
