Also the line "I've been in this fight since I was 6 years old" requires some mental gymnastics to fit Andor's now canon back-story

Morning Womble, I'm still reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab. In comics I've just finished the excellent Judge Dredd epic Necropolis. I've slowly been reading the Case Files and the increased depth in scope, narrative and character has been impressive as I head into the 90's.

Technially we did, I remember going on holiday to Wales in the mid 90's and my dads mate had got a route planner on his computer. He printed off the route for us and but it ended at the end of a track in the middle of nowhere. We had to ask a local farmer.

Morning Womble, just started The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab. So far, so intriguing.

Saw him last week at a festival, he is a force of nature! Absolutely loved it, it was my first time seeing him too.

I was once faced with a "Subscribe" or "I'm fine seeing ads" choice. I was slightly aggrieved that forced me to take the passive aggresive answer.

I sometimes think back to a choice I made in 1995, aged 13, when my Dad said do you want to go see Waterworld or Batman Forever and I chose Batman...I regret it to this day as I've never seen Waterworld on the big screen. A real red pill-blue pill moment in my life 🤣🤣

Spontaneous pneumothorax...it would have happened at some point, I just happened to be bending down to tie my shoelaces, or more accurately, sitting back up. 😄

I'm In the final 3rd of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter so I should finish that today and begin The Devils by Lord Grimdark himself. It's rare for me to read new releases, my TBR pile will get a complex 😁

My earliest memory of Dr Who was Remembrance of the Daleks...Ace destroying a Dalek with a baseball bat. I was hooked. McCoy is in my top 3 Docs, with Troughton and Eccleston...they constantly fight for top spot 😁

I wish the British Government, who are supposed to be the left wing option (I know...centrist at best) believed this, instead of announcing right wing policies to court right wing voters. They have a majority that allows them to choose what to do, and this is what they choose.

Morning! I'm currently reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. Atmospheric and complex, its not going to be a quick read.

Suicide Squad...the editing is terrible. There's a scene where Boomerang quits and storms out of the bar, and then the very next scene he just rejoins for the Guardians of the Galaxy rip off slo-mo walk towards the camera with no explanation.

Morning Womble, re-reading Jingo by Pratchett. He walks a fine line attempting to critique racism occasionally stumbling over his penchant for a stereotype and some wince-inducing language, but its still Vimes taking no shit as usual.
Best read of 2024 was The Reformatory by Tananarive Due.

I keep seeing coffe posts but never what coffee? Are you a basic nescafe? An upper market Millicano? Or a Hot Lava Java beans connoisseur??

I've always wanted to know, if Perer Falk had a glass eye then did Columbo have a glass eye? Or was his glass eye acting as a real eye??

I was in Tesco at 7am this morning and it was like 3pm on a Saturday but with the added hazards of half filled cages of food in every aisle. Everyone was stumbling around with glazed looks in their eyes looking for cheese.

Anything by Paul Tremblay, one of my consistent pre-order authors since I read "A Head Full of Ghosts", and his latest "Horror Movie" was excellent

Morning Womble, still reading Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson but getting very close to the end. I may finish it today, but being so epic, 15% to go is still over 3 hours 🤣

Just one movie franchise to rule them all...Galadriel's speech over the prologue of Fellowship of the Ring still gives me goosebumps.

This picks the best issues of the initial run and adds in later prequel series, but you can pick and choose.

I am currently reading Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson, first read years ago but never continued with Malazan for a variety of reasons. Determined to get through the whole 10 this time.

As a teenager I kept stopping at The Two Towers, I think it was the decision to split the books plots completely, I was more invested in Frodo and Sam than Rohan (more fool me) but at Uni I tried again and got to Helm's Deep, and I basically spent a weekend reading all the rest (ROTK included).
