"Renegade, The Lives and Tales of Mark E Smith". Brilliant, humorous, cruel and honest!

Books for Burning: Between civil war and democracy in 1970s Italy - Antonio Negri.

Complex, Marxist-theory rammed collection of polemical pamphlets from Europe's leading political philosopher.

Can't wait for: Commonwealth (coming out in Oct. 2009)Michael Hardt, Toni Negri


www.hup.harvard.edu - Harvard University Press: Commonwealth by Michael Hardt

Oh, Mr Pip is amazing isn't it PGC?

The way it turns in an instant from light and lovely narrative to indescribable horrors is breathtaking.


I've just finished Revolutionary Road. Also brilliant and emotionally draining in an entirely different way.

I'm reading 'Guilty Pleasures' by Tasmina Perry, which is fab. It has lots of conspiracies, shopping, brilliant young entrepreneurs making unlikely profits off the back of thin ideas, glamorous locations, sex, family feuds, attempted murder, true love, and more sex and shopping.


What do you mean, I'm the only person in ED that reads trash? How dare you.

Was this any good MP? Patricia Cornwell lost me some time ago, I liked the first three or four Scarpetta novels, but got irritated by the inane dialogue in the later ones. And as for that sodding niece of hers...

    • I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found.  Not sure if all would consider that a good thing.  Not a lot new happening ....  When you back in Blighty?
    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.  
    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye.
