The make up and the fucking wigs! The whole thing is only a short hop from the child beauty pageants in the US.

Just finished “The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August”. Enjoyed it. A bit SciFi which wouldn’t normally be my thing but fairly mild. Recommend as a holiday read

Sorry lads I must have missed the previous!
Don’t mind them pair of jealous fuckers, just because no neighbour of theirs ever kicked off a wedding party like the late Jack Mac and I got a hape of likes out of the aftermath they’re seething. Begrudgery is all that is.
H’on Fay-na…
Can anyone link to the posts where boxty talks about the real life that they may face the rising sun? Just finishing reading it
It’s in the whiskey thread, early June I think. There’s a follow up in the aul yarns thread about that time.
Chickenhawk is a good read so far. About a Vietnam helicopter pilot.
Brilliant book, I recommended it here before as the best Vietnam book I’ve read
I recently finished a book called ‘the night watchman’ which won this years Pulitzer for fiction, fabulous book, will be of particular interest to the sizeable TFK Native American community

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness.
Highly recommended especially for kids of 12 or so.
Just started this. Good so far.

Good read. I know there are 2 sides to every story, but hard to like Thurston Moore after reading this.
From my few pages so far Kim strikes me as quite the moaner, albeit well able to write.
Having your husband cheat on you doesn’t really fit ‘moaning’ but I haven’t gotten to that part yet.
True, but cheating is the nasty thing to do and cowardly thing to do. Just end it and then get the dart somewhere else.
