Is this a rejected alternate lyric from Boys of Summer?

I missed this when it was on Channel 4 - I'm really going to have to watch it, as I've heard such good things.

Now that I'd read.

I'm feeling a Midsomer Murders set-up here - some kind of intra-community squabble over gardens or something leads to someone switching out the fake razor with a real one. Except the intended target was ill that days so it was his understudy who got offed and so on…

To be fair, that technique was just Milk and Alcohol.

Yeah, I think All Mod Cons is probably my favourite overall

Setting Sons has some ace tracks on it - 'Private Hell', 'Thick as Thieves','The Eton Rifles', and your namesake are all top tier

Funny enough I'd say the opposite: The Jam had some killer singles, one constantly great album (All Mod Cons, of course) plus a whole lot of filler.

And really attractive.

Y'know, I think this is where the 'Brits have bad teeth' thing comes from. Our teeth are no better or worse than anyone else's, but we allow actors with wonky, broken etc. teeth in films and on the tele, while it's a rarity in America, so British media looks like a parade of Shane MacGowan types by comparison.

One theory says that they were originally more or less a metaphor for sexually transmitted diseases…

I don't Belize that would work.

Mostly at night. Mostly.

I haven't heard that song, so I'm imagining it's a B-side to The Police's 'Walking on the Moon'.

Did Joyce ghost-write this review?

Really liked the first one. I'm going to have to get around to reading the second one of these days…

If you like fantasy go for A Wizard of Earthsea, but I started with Left Hand of Darkness and enjoyed it so it should be fine as an entry.

I have that on the shelf ready for when I psyche myself up for another 1000 pager…

I do have a weakness for Cloud Atlas-like books… That said, I've never read Faulks but he seems like one of those literary authors who are technically brilliant but boring as sin.

Just decided to pick up the copy of Madame Bovary that has been staring at me from my bookshelf for a while. I feel like I should start something big and classic as I've been reading a lot of (very fun, It must be said) lightweight stuff recently. Only a few pages in, but I'm digging the prose style so far.
