Howl FM subscription?
just googled. the idea looks a fucking absolute goer mate. but is the content good? like as good or better than you can get from free podcasts? and can you actually get it for free elsewhere? (I see Marc Maron’s wtf seems to be on it?)
You can get all the old WTFs on there (it’s only the most recent 50 at any given time which are free) which has some fucking great episodes. I think that’s how it works for loads of them these days so stuff like The Worst Idea of All Time has it’s first season on there as paid content only. Not looked into it a huge amount though I’m afraid.
I received:
1x signed copy of Joey Barton’s autobiography ‘No Nonsense’. 1x pokeball weed grinder 3x pairs of socks
from an ATD secret santa.
so happy.
allow me to summarise this review
“not bad”
it’ll be a cold day in hell before i bought my bf a ps4
I bought my boyfriend a drill but now im regretting this decision as i think its majorly boring
classic!
Are there any thoughtful/good books for someone who’s really into medieval history and a voracious reader but is not really academic in the slightest? Fiction or Non-Fiction
Will they have read the best-sellers like Millennium etc?
And the Name of the Rose?
Ah yeah, that’s the problem really, knowing what they have read. Name of the rose they have… Millennium might be a great shout though actually.
Maybe that Peter Ackroyd Biography of London? It’s very strong on medieval London.
Umberto Eco’s got another medieval novel- Baudolino, with a Byzantine setting.
Ah yes mate this looks great! The old man’s a bit of a London obsessive too so this ticks a lot of boxes (if he hasn’t read it already…)
Found a board game version of that book in a charity shop for £1. It turned out to be completely incomprehensible how you play it though. So it went back to the charity shop unplayed.
After I read it, I went on a walk round the City and spotted loads of little things from that book. It’s weird how the main bit of the city that people live in and use is not in the same place these days.
Pretty much. Also you’re all building the same cathedral. I never really understood it. I bet no-one does, and it just goes from charity shop to charity shop.
Something fun and vaguely “British” that I can get for my wife’s parents?
Something I could reasonably take on a plane as part of my carry on.
Some tea from Liberty?
