    Skippy Dies - Paul Murray, author, reading this Friday

    Great words that aren't used often enough.

    Mangalise: to break up, to make shit of i.e. 'I drank way too much tried cycling, fell off and was mangalised' or 'c'mere and I'll mangalise ya!' Origin: unknown to me anyway, I thought a Mangal might be a medieval catapult but I was wrong.

    Bob Dylan Appreciation thread

    “I’m not there” was the sort of movie that inspired me to hate anyone who had anything to do with the making of it (apart from maybe the camera crew) and I figured Dylan earned a special place in hell for just being the inspiration for it. Good lord though, the ‘theme time radio hour’ show...
