Joke of the week

This is from Phil, who writes one of the best blogs around:

'I just saw loads of miners and Scousers on the TV, celebrating wildly. Is Thatcher dead?'

And while I think about it, congratulations to Tipton Town FC ('the Tipton Terrorists') who managed to overturn the mighty Radcliffe Olympic in a replay of the FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round, with an emphatic 2-0 win. Next match: Sheffield FC, apparently the oldest team in the world, and the only team in Sheffield which isn't Wednesday or United.

Vole -

Dark Place Central Library are selling their old-stock. I've nabbed all the lit. criticism and poetry collections, but there's a lot of stuff still up for grabs.

Thanks for the tip - I'll collect what you've rejected! What did you get?

Ooo - collections of essays on Woolf, Beckett, and the American sopa opera, 'The Name of This Book is Dogme 95', F.R. Leavis' 'New Bearings in English Poetry', 'Six Women Poets', 'British Fiction of the 1990s', 'Literature and Culture in Modern Britain: 1956 - 1999', and 'Why Do People Hate America?'.

And a partidge in a pear tree.

Ex-Hegemon English student (gradumacated in September). Discovered your blog somehow or other, and have been using it to procrastinate and fuel feelings of moral outrage for a good year or so.

Edward is the name, and, good lordi, I need to get out more.

Good to virtually meet you. Come for the outrage, stay for the sarcasm.
