OK, this one's a bit of an oddity. Since I collect old paperback books, especially science fiction books, one way of saving money is by buying job lots via eBay and then selling on the books that I don't want. This book came to...

Victor Frankenstein Yes, sometimes it's nice to read something totally off the wall, the more stupid the better. Like overindulging in cream cakes when you know they're not the healthiest option. ;-)

It was raining last night and the ground was very soggy when I put the bins out. The sunlight itself was nice and warm though, and one of my neighbours took advantage of the chance to do a bit of sunbathing - maybe the last...

Victor Frankenstein Looking in my back garden one time (on the other side of the house from where this picture was taken) I saw something reddish moving around in the bushes. Then I realised it was a fox. It bolted when it noticed I was looking at it. Surprising how much...

Since I was a teenager, I've been reading the Doc Savage stories on and off. For those who don't know, Doc Savage was an American pulp magazine that was very popular in the 30s and 40s. The central character - Dr Clark Savage...

Victor Frankenstein So many books, so little time. If I ever got rich, I'd probably spend 90% of my time reading. And I still wouldn't have time to read everything from series like this and the Shadow. Come to think of it, the Shadow's another series I haven't read for a...

Victor Frankenstein Cheers Michael. Yes, it's usually Monk and Ham in the spotlight, so it made a change seeing one of the others get a bigger share of the action.

Sometimes it only takes a moment of inattention to ruin your whole evening. I have a mild heart condition that I was diagnosed with almost a decade ago, and I've been taking pills to stop it getting worse ever since. Never a...

Victor Frankenstein Getting frustrated just makes things worse, doesn't it? I'll tell you one fhing for nothing, I wouldn't want to be one of the staff working the A&E night shift. Security did have to calm one guy down who was getting stroppy.

Victor Frankenstein No worries. I don't think I had any ill-effects (except for lack of sleep), although I was imagining symptoms. I told the triage nurse not to talk about possible symptoms, because I've got too good an imagination!

Victor Frankenstein I did think about that, but it seemed safer to go to the hospital. Of course if I'd sorted my pills into my organiser the previous day or that morning, like I should have done, it wouldn't have happened. Lesson learned!

Victor Frankenstein It's going to take more than just a change of president. The political system in America has clearly broken down, with blatant election rigging, constitutional violations now part of the routine, and none of the intended checks and balances operating as they...

Victor Frankenstein @ElicBxn I know what you mean about Dr Watson, one of my pet hates is when they make him an idiot. As you say, he's an experienced doctor and an ex-army officer. And besides, a guy like Holmes wouldn't have an idiot for a best friend.

Victor Frankenstein I've got to admit, I've heard of Mr Moto but not seen any of the films or read the books. I know what you mean about whitewasing though - some of those makeup jobs were embarrasing and the accents often worse. I've got to admit, I still like a lot of the...
