*stabs ntl in the head*

I didn't get to see the last ten minutes of Angel last night because the cable went off during the last advert break. And the internet went too. Now I've got to wait until midnight on Saturday to see the end. Not a happy bunny.

I hate...

...people who call text messages "teksies".

"I just got a teksy off me mum."

Gah.

I am Spartacus

I'm currently reading Spartacus thanks to niannah's rec. It's a really good book and I picked up a really cheap used copy off amazon that was published in 1965. What's really entertaining though are the little adverts in the back for other books. One of my favourites is:

Special Friendships
Roger Peyrefitte
Young Georges de Sarre, son of a Marquis, at an expensive Catholic boarding school forms a 'special' friendship with a beautiful fellow-student, Alexis. This is the theme of the novel: on the one hand the hot-house atmosphere of boarding school life that tends to force such 'special', sensual - yet often curiously pure - friendships; on the other the unremitting war waged against them by master and priest. The result, as here, is sometimes tragic. 3/6

Unfortunately you can't buy it from amazon. I looked.

The best title award goes to: Many Slippery Errors. And there's also one about a reluctant 'friendship' between two seamen.
