Ian Ross anyone? Blimey I’m old

Plus a fair few quid in tickets, programmes & food/drink and merchandise too. Lots of bean counting this morning

£3.50 postage on top is a bit rich - worth it though, sold out by time I got into the ground after queuing for the shirt 😎

Looks like @theresthistory.bsky.social have arrived

Need to entice them over!

One of Mr Sandbrooks finest - are you a Rest is History listener?

Not short of much right now but John Gidman will fix that right back problem and Dwight Yorke will give some options up front

Nope - thanks for the tip

Player of Games is the one of his I enjoyed most

Children closes out the first trilogy. Then yea things get weird so you stick or twist. But Children is the same character set so Alia, Paul’s mother and his two children etc. it’s much longer than Messiah but not as difficult imho. But if you’re not hooked and don’t feel the need I won’t judge 😉

[plot spoiler] You need to read Children of Dune to get to the end of Pauls story

Dune book always wins - Messiah isn’t an easy one though!

Oryx and Crake wins the first shelf I reckon

I keep trying with the SF version of Ian Banks - 3 of the novels and a short story collection - but I miss the sense of SF Opera I got with the Dune novels. I know it’s not what he was going for but still means I end up admiring instead of loving them
