languagelounger> And I'm thinking in 12 hours you could probably learn to knit and produce The Jumper.


You could run a week-long residential The Killing Experience in the Annex. Watch the video, knit the jumper, listen to readings from Kierkegaard, and

experiment with smorgasbord, Danish pastries, herring and Akvavit.


Meanwhile, back on earth, do they still make Arthur Dent dressing gowns?

Yeah but the old jumper was back right at the end of ep 12 and I finally get the importance of it. Without it Lund loses her instinct. She changed for a reverse number and the case went nowhere...even dismissing the clue on Olav's possible involvement. Brings the star jumper back and then things start to move forward again. Lund can't solve a case without it! Makes perfect sense now.

Love this thread.

Love the Killing.

Love the jumper.


But am actually experiencing a small fashion crush on Pernille now too. Also love her wide eyed grief stricken lip twitching.


She has a great kind of jacket and jeans look going on which could be a little bit too Boden on the wrong woman but she manages to make it kind of cool and edgy.

I suddenly realized as I was watching the latest episode on i player (I'm a late devotee and watched all the episodes within 3 evenings, now I'm itching with cold turkey)that I was wearing the same top as Pernille, and I can assure you it was Noah Noah which is a Danish label I believe. Unfortunately it didn't have the same visual effect on me.
Lund wear said jumpers well (I would look like a sack of potatoes), but I do wish she would crack a smile occasionally. I LOVE http://www.messengerfreak.com/emoticons/love/heartwings2.gif the series, but if I were to be her partner I would leave her in Copenhagen - permanently.
Do you think denoument night should be An Event? We could get sponsorship from the Copenhagen tourist board, invite the Danish ambassador, encourage knitwear and maybe get one of the bobble hats to auction for the distressed detectives fund. Or Unicef. Maybe the Mag would host. The bulbs are always blowing in the upstairs room so gloomy enough, and sofas big enough to hide behind. And I think they have served herrings before now.

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
    • You have an opportunity to set up a scheme to buy people's books,do you mean? And you will pay someone a huge amount to be allowed to set up the scheme? I don't understand. Is your final sentence unfinished? I buy a lot of books secondhand. If there's a particular book I want I always google to see if I can get it secondhand first. Quite often the book I get looks virtually new and unread, but much cheaper than if I had bought it new, even at a reduced new price. There are loads of places online with a huge selection of secondhand books. At least one of the websites  sells them via a number of different secondhand booksellers who all apparently  gain potential customers via their search online for a particular book. But I also give away a lot of books, either to friends or to charity shops (especially the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill).  It would be a huge hassle to send them somewhere like you are suggesting, especially if you have to put in the details first. I suppose at least these days you can easily google to find out if any of them are worth anything. When my dad died, on behalf of the family  I took a carload of his books to Hay on Wye (I lived not far from there at the time) plus some of my old childhood books. They cherrypicked the ones they wanted and wouldn't take most of them, and I strongly suspect I wasn't given anything like they were worth.
