Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Somehow I don't find that image very appealing...
'course, I'm quite the little dictator myself. My friends swear they will assassinate me if I ever achieve any level of real political power because they know all my Orwellian ideals.
Haha, my prime goal if I ever become rich is to build a 18th Century Prussian Palace, complete with a couple hundered reenactors who would dress as Prussian soldiers of the period and perform parade drills for me...
Ahh... maybe thats why I'm not rich. Because I would get all "The Magic Christian."

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Steampunk and Cyberpunk are both most excellent. My favourite setting though, is Warhammer 40k. I loves it to death.

great...I just got the mental image of a giant-sized Kneenibble's avatar attacking steampunk London...
...and it won't go away.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Do you remember the lift I got trapped in last week?
Well, the same lift just tripped me up this evening.
I pushed the button, the doors opened, I smiled at the lady inside and took a step...the evil lift knocked my heel off balance and I went straight down. Full face-plant. Completely freaked out the woman who was in there.
Ok, so it's slightly my fault for wearing these:
which do have a 9cm heel.Spoiler
But still. The lift hates me. And I have to use it every day.

Ah yes, the little known sub-genre of baroque cathedralpunk (as popularised by "WH40K" and "Nemesis the Warlock").

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Okay, that was weird. I was sitting here, scrolling through the various pages of GitP, when my mouse just suddenly slowed down. I mean really slow...Like, across the mouse area twice in order to get the cursor to cross the screen once.

Nah, I'm comandeering all the copies that make Newcastle and setting them up in a massive bibliothrone in the middle of Waterstones. Then, in my capacity as Grand Poohbah of the Bookish Inquisition, I shall announce the commencement of the dread chicklit, TV tie-in and derivative fantasy purges.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
But what about my post?
I need a post in the Bookish Inquistion because books are my life and I know every person who works in my favourite bookshop by sight if not full name.
Oh, and the Fish Festival today is nice and all, but so many tourists and general vistors. I walked a mile and a bit to get to Lidls and ecery. Single. Road. Without double yellow lines is crammed to the brim with cars. As is the Green, and the footie field quarter of a mile away to the west.
All the shops that normally close early for the Bank Holiday are all open extra hours today and the chippie's been running non-stop since eleven o'clock. And it's Elder Younger Brother's turn to go chippie tonight too. I don't envy him, but I may follow and snicker at him while he joins the queue that's out the shop and several yards up the hill.
Funny thing though, this summer I've seen more German tourists than any other country. Last year it was Americans. Although when I vvolunteered at the FIsh Festival (I got to get in free that way) I kept a tally of tourists from foreign countries and I had about ten Japanese people, twenty four French and numerous others.
Great fun talking to them all though.
Great fun.
And all this for the Blessing of the Fleet.
Bathatar!

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I just finished a really interesting trilogy: Idlewild, Edenborn, Everfree. Post-apocalypic rebuilding kind of theme (but no weird mohawked biker gangs or anything). It kinda fell apart in Everfree when he seemed to forget that he wasn't writing Contact, but other than that it was surprisingly good.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
*hugs Curly*
Books are awesome. I don't know everyone in the bookstore I go to, because it's huge. But they have many books, and I love them for it. And being huge, they can order slightly obscure books that most places have never heard of.
I got 'Ravenor Returned' from them, after having searched nearly everywhere and not found it.I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Oh. Dissapointing.
I've been wondering for a while if I can merge my favourite two genres, Apocolyptica and Steampunk, into one glorious setting...
Hmm... this requires more thought me thinks.
Also: Yay. Computer in my room means a TV right next to it. Which also means I can now watch Hollyoaks while on here. Yay. I like Emma Rigby leave me alone,
