Did I mention that there were a couple more people in the same email? Yay me! Since then I always double check the "Salut" before sending emails, lol.

HAVE YOU NO HEART MAN

(also the gif I wanted wouldn't work it seems the cringe was too much for goodreads to handle) :) :) :)

[Miche]

I don't think I ever heard dank before.

Or if I did I thought they were saying danke, lol.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

@miche- LOL!

Scott... I read “what the dilio” completely wrong... 😂

[Esther]

I am trying to figure out what book to read. I have no clue! I was thinking about maybe reading A Shadow Bright and Burning... but idk. If anyone has any ideas I would love to know.

[Miche]

Is "As if!" outdated? I use that one way too often. hahaha

I still like the word nincompoop and it's my mission to keep it alive! If i ever write a novel or publish a short story... It's being used!

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Her name is Bishop Briggs

It's like she's trying to attract Urban Fantasy fans... 2 of my fave UF authors are Anne Bishop and Patricia Briggs...

I think I first heard it early this year... because I spend too much time on reddit and imgur... but it's not a work I can see myself using outside of a joke like above... that and Bae and a few others...

Margret wrote: "@miche- LOL!

I thought it was spelled dealio anyway...

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

In the utterly inane category..........we aren't really going to debate the spelling of dilio, dillio, dealio or whatever other spelling you choose? I think I'd rather trust Margret with a letter opener in close vicinity to my twig and berries.

BTW, and Margret will especially love this, I do the same thing with my wife. I use words our grandparents would use and it drives her ape shit.

ottoman = hassock
living room = parlor
TV shows = My programs are on
pocketbook = purse

And when I really want a rise veggie platter = Crudités

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I can see why you’re a real bee in your wife’s bonnet :P

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

At least it wouldn't be confused for "what the dildo" (I assume that's what Margret saw)

And there used to be a home movie of me at about 8 complaining that my program was on (Murder, She Wrote)... I think the phrasing might still used in the UK... or it was 20yrs ago... or I got it from my Nana/Papa (Great-grandparents) as a kid...

[Samir]

Any fans of the Dirk Gently TV show here? I just binge watched the first season and it was awesome! Or as Scott would say; dank.

[Ahdam]

Haha I've watched the first episode and it's interesting although I only got to the "dog" in episode 2 before I stopped watching it and haven't watched it since

[Veronica]

I watched the first episode, Samir, but I had no idea what in the hell was going on, lol. I was afraid to go back.

[Ahdam]

Small story time

Me: Alright I better have a look at events in Waterstones near me since I'm a nerd and I have to embarrass myself like one and be featured in cringy videos on youtube

Goes through all events

Me: Okay not much ooh tchiakovsky evening I'm enjoying his book so maybe I'll visit and see what it's all about maybe get his new book on the way hmm

Still searching until.....

"Best-selling science fiction and fantasy author, BRANDON SANDERSON, will be in Leeds signing Oathbringer, his latest novel." 







OH NOOOOO I'm fangirling over some guy from America coming to England what have I become what have you guys done to me???

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

DROP EVERYTHING AHDAM!!

I would so be there in a heartbeat

[Miche]

Margret wrote: "DROP EVERYTHING AHDAM!!

Me too!

[Ahdam]

I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw that he was coming here since I believe it's been awhile since the lawsuit time since e was in uk and I'm so happy that not only is it half a mile to get there but I have a long break between my lectures so huge pluses for me (I say as I accidentally jinx this somehow in the next couple of weeks)

Also I still haven't read stormlight yet.....no I must stick to the course (I say as I look at way of kings with hungry eyes)

[Ahdam]

Last time dammit

[Liam]

I'd be there camping out the night before haha.

[Ahdam]

Man I'm so pumped that I'm not checking also I'm really hoping I see people being STACKS of his books like I'm probs gonna bring mistborn era 1 and maybe my tor edition of way of kings (I'm buying oathbringer fuck consistency)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Wow!!! Tell him we say hi lol. Meeting him is on my bucket list.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I’m so pumped for you! If he’ll let you, take a pic with him so we can see on here!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Yes, pictures or it never happened.

[Ahdam]

I will try to if I can get one with mr Brett then I can get it with mr Sanderson....that is nothing horrible happens to him or me in the next six week or the event may be cancelled (please don't let anything happen then)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

?? Where the one with Brett? :)

[Ahdam]

Check my review of the desert spear I had a nice chat with him and got book 1 and 2 as well as the core signed

[Tammie]

Yes, we really liked it. About to watch the first episode of season 2.

[Ahdam]

Now that had my sleep here's the picture with Brett



It's funny cos I was asking him about the inconsistency of the ecosystem I mentioned when reading painted man and he said he had written notes and appendixes on it but couldn't fit into the story. I didn't find it a huge problem more like an observation but it's nice to know he thought of it :) :)

Also the cheekiness on my face is unbelievable

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Did you stretch the image?... the dimensions look weird...

Nice getting to meet a favorite author... I've never done anything like that...

[Ahdam]

Yeah it's really difficult to find the right dimensions since goodreads has you choose them which is annoying but I'll deal with it

But thanks it was great to meet him and he's a nice guy

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

width, height, and description are optional... just doing < img src = "" > will keep the original dimensions of the picture... and scale it down to the goodreads limits if it's a really big picture...

That's awesome!! I read your review when you first posted it but didn't see the pic (probably because I was on the app). Nice!!! Thanks for sharing it. :)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

If you think about it Ahdam, normal pics are usually on a scale of 2/3 (ie/ 400x600 or 200x300 is what I pick if the formatting looks funky from the usual)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I tend to get pictures and book covers working in the app by opening pages 2x... open -> back -> reopen... I dunno why it works, but it does on iPhone app at least...

Me too, exist out of the thread, go back in and usually the images magically load.

[Zaara]

Remedies for alchoholic birthday party party-induced sore head please. I really could use some help now, people. Please cuz this is my first ever Lallapaloosa of a twister and my brother and his wife whom I'm visiting, and who obviously have demon blood in them, are fine and going out dancing...
And im obviously not able to sleep the dann thing away...

It's dehydration. Force yourself to drink a gallon of water today. Just keep pouring it home.

[Zaara]

Whaaaaa...Abster? How long have you been a member of this group and I haven't noticed? Aren't you in any of my reads...Blade itself, 27th? But I forget...you've read Ole Joe already, haven't you? You can still come and comment. A thread with xoo comments is still better than a read with a scattershot of 50 or 60. Do come. 27th ok?

Thanks much, Scott. I shall. In fact, chugging it down right now.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

My friend from work (who clearly drinks too much) says she takes 2 B12 vitamins before going out, then when she’s ready for bed after takes 2 Advil with a bunch of water, and swears that there’s no hangover

[Zaara]

Yea Margret...i heard the thing abt the vitamins too...and I've taken one very well washed down.
Contrary to the "Oz" stereotype I dont touch beer...cant stand the bitter taste. I wouldn't drink beer if it were free.
I'm all for the Scotch and Irish. I dont smoke any cigars tho and im hopeless at card games. But whisky and foul mouth i can do...so im at home in those men's clubs...
I'm on;y a thrice/year drinker (the rare strawberry martinis with the girls dont count) so i don't have much stomach for it...but this time was with a bunch of army brats and journos...and those mean byaatches didnt let me wimp out when the shots got going...
Ergo...I'm reminded of Gimli son of Gloin...I prolly look like him as well right now.
And the drinking was more than 24 hours ago.
Tks sweetheart. My best to the boozy colleague.

[Ahdam]

I don't drink Zaara so I hope that helps :) :) :) :)

@Ab: Yeah I have been haunting the place for the last coupla weeks. I have these phases. If every post of mine from here popped up on your update feed...I shudder to think...change your settings, Ab. Do it now,

Positively the 27th then. Don't you forget. The thread is here...you have to RSVP on it saying yes or in or something vaguely similar. Wierd, i seem to remember you and @Polo and @Manu were all on abt it over at...or was that Stormlight?
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Also, I refuse to drink anything called The Green Fairy. So there!

@Ahdam...not even sure you and Ab are of legal drinking age yet? Btw say hello to Brandon Sanderson for me, you big celebrity meeter you, and if you ever meet Mark Lawrence...please get an extra something signed for me ok? I know he doesn't travel much xcuz of family constraints. I'll gladly pay for the postage to wherever I am. I really must go now.

Not sure how it works in Australia or something (judging from your posts haha) but over here in the uk the legal drinking age is over 16 and over 18 to legally buy alchohol and I'm 19 so I'm definitely over the drinking age so suck it americans even though I don't drink

Also cheers Mark was in Hull a couple of weeks ago I believe with Brett and Abercrombie but I aint travelling that distance for that shit haha but good night
