Just lurkin'. Dull, old, grumpy introvert with cats :) Don't worry about following me back, I rarely post. If I followed you it's probably because you made me smile or think. Came here to escape the dross on the previous site, you know the one.
Just so you know, I am totally invested in this advent calendar. And this one sounds lovely.

If I remember I'll do an LJ on it (I saw you'd commented on Muppet, I just can't go back to that yet). There will be swearing, because obv there will :D

I read occasionally but I'm avoiding all social media - makes me grumpy (ier). Work plods on, I'm now officially deaf and I can't wait for retirement. So, I'm good - you and yours???

She's pinched my entire music collection over the years so it's a mystery why she didn't know Squeeze. I can only assume it got leant out and never returned. Or lost in a move, possibly.

Weirdly I spent a lot of the weekend listening to Squeeze. Long story, but Tempted was playing in the car when me and Cait went somewhere so I sang along (obv, how can you not?). Cait, despite having DECADES of musical knowledge and appreciation was blank. So this weekend I put that right :)

Ooh, could I have Notorious by Otto English please?

Understood - my offer can still go on the pile and I'll go hunt :)

Sorry, i had to think - I've added it and am happy to pay the difference plus offer one of my own for the same price :)

If it's still available I'd like Notorious by Otto English which i suspect may be over the budget as it's new, but I'll pay the difference and offer my own BASAB for the £15-ish mark :)

Ok, adore Pratchett. Currently enjoying The Rivers of London books by Ben Aaronovich. Love Lindsey Davies: Falco and his daughter and I just bought the Bob Monkhouse autobiography. Um. Looking forward to the new Joe Abercrombie. Is that enough of a list?

Ok, excellent - give me 5 mins to think. In return I'll also offer to buy a book for someone. It's the recommendation I'm after because I'm rubbish at choosing
