Not having that. Are you toasting your bread with a tealight or something?

toaster takes 4 minutes plus spreading time …pancakes take what 6/7?

#93

Don’t think you make a good set of pancakes in 6 minutes mate. I reckon it’s at least 5 mins just to make the batter.

I did a few. Peter straub’s ghost story (started good, got really bad), shirley jackson’s haunting of hill house (low key and very good,i like it more in retrospect), stephen king’s the long walk (arduous but good) and rosemary’s baby.

36 mins into a 9hr shift, already bored and eating my lunch.

Were you a fan of The Talisman and Black House? I mean, are there good Straub books but this was a bad one or is he not worth bothering with?

How can you fuck up pancake mixture?

Today is the anniversary of the Moorgate Tube Disaster. I watched a bit of a documentary about it and one of the firemen said loads of passengers in the front carriage suffocated while they were trying to get in there to get them out. :frowning2:

yeah i’d really recommend it if you want something that’s kind of low key and atmospheric. it’s not really “horror” by modern standards.

ooh one more as well, i read ancient images by ramsay campbell which was decent. it’s british and had a bit of a wicker man vibe about it.

no clue, was the first of his i’ve read. it started out in a non-linear way and was quite elusive and creepy for a time, but the more it revealed the worse it got, and ended in absolutely howling cliches.

Ah okay, cheers. I’ll see if I can find some pointers to his best stuff then. I think The Talisman is probably one of my favourite books in the genre.

#104

it’s sort of set against a backdrop of british horror cinema as well, there’s a bit of discussion about censorship and video nasties,

FFS. Accidentally bought 3 at NUS rates.

Anyone here do fake NUS cards?

He is slightly insane. I’ve told the story about how last year he wanted ‘eggy’ pancakes, which didn’t end well

#107

It’ll be fine, you, me and shucksy can all pass for fresh-faced undergraduate students no problem.

Who’s that laughing at the back?

“We need a picture to accompany this piece about cats collapsing after eating dodgy food.”

“No, too happy.”

“No, too dead.”

“Fuck it, that’s as close as we’ll get.”
