Stewart Smith

I was going to ask the same thing, I’ve got a few book tokens from Xmas and it would be good to get them from a local bookshop rather than the big bezos river. I love that you’ve got the same cover art as from the corgi paperbacks.

I had them all in corgi paperbacks but they went missing somewhere. I’ve rebuilt a collection of 1-9 but the last one is quite rare apparently. I have to be glad about this though as more people should know of the splendour of Shabble.

新 (Shin) is new or next, which works as well.

Oh and SF podcast Stellar Firma, semi improvised lunacy with drunken planet designer Trexel Geistman and his terrified clone assistant David 7. Like the last days of Magrathea.

New Zealand author Hugh Cook, for the epic Chronicles of an Age of Darkness decalogy. Especially the troublemaking childlike miniature sun Shabble.

Sapphire and Steel have been assigned.

Surely it should be “Naw, ah’m yer Da”

You’ve already done Joe Abercrombie a bit but the Banking House of Valint and Balk from the First Law series is a good one. Who needs magic to control governments when you have international finance…

Have you listened to Pilgrim? Cursed with immortality by the king of the Grey Folk, William Palmer helps protect us from the fickle terror of the faerie. Some on iPlayer, the rest on Audible etc.

The Waygroves are there to link it all together. The Soldier and his Wife from Tyrant Philosophers are already from a completely different story.

I was coming to say the same thing.

Not a nice story but I saw this and all I could think was "Safety First", thank you @athleticomince.bsky.social

Dire Financial Straits at UoE? NO! — UCU Edinburgh Are things really as bad as they say? Find out the truth behind the numbers!

Interesting blog post from our local UCU branch, countering claims from senior management that the University of Edinburgh is in such financial turmoil that redundancies will be inevitable. Always intriguing to consider how much austerity is real or paranoia is an art form of management...

That official will never forget forgetting whatever it was he forgot.

I’m sorry I saw this and had to steal it, only a minor edit.

Old Dry Keith didn’t die for this!

Puzzled by all the Jazz related followers. Sorry folks I’m not the Stewart Smith you were looking for. I do like jazz but I have nothing interesting to say on the subject.

I give you Bellenden Gardens in Edinburgh.

Eureka!

That’s Barry’s thirst trap picture. I listen to too many of his podcasts. Carol is full of shit though. Her vs. Ian Boldsworth in the Parapod movie is great.
