    Smash Hits! The end! (UK music mag)

    Smash Hits is no more. I used to love this magazine. I used to cut out the lyrics to the songs and put the free posters up. But then, I never did get out that much. Apparently, kids these days want info and gossip on their phones and computers. Bloody sceenagers!

    Not a book search - more a scene search

    I recently read John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids. Near the end there is a passage where I think that I have seen/read something like this before in a more modern book or film, but I can’t place where. Does it ring any bells with anyone out there?

    Review: Recoil.

    I am a Recoil "fan", and here's a review I wrote of the last album. Artist: Recoil Album: Liquid (2000) Liquid is the fourth album release from 40-year-old Alan Wilder’s Recoil project. As far as categorisation goes, it is easier to state what the album is not, rather than what it is: it...

    Question About Words

    I didn't know where to put this, so I've stuck it here. You know when you have the same word repeated in a sentence, for example "he brought up the breakfast he had had that morning", what is that called? Thanks.

    Book From Childhood.

    Hi. There's a book I've been looking for for quite some time now. I had it as a kid. I think it was called Billy Basher or Billy Smasher, or something like that. I've done the Google thing but to no avail. I think the cover was greenish. As best as I can recall, the story was about a kid...
