Re: Stonemouth
Just watched episode 1.. If I had not read the book I wouldn't gave a clue WTF was going on... No where near as good an adaptation as The Crow Road was. IMHO. Nothing is anywhere as good as the adaptation of The Crow Road :) If you have Netflix, and you want to watch something really incomprehensib...

Re: Stonemouth
It wiz brullyant. Get it on Wully's Aye player - it was on Beeb 2 there's still availability for another couple of weeks. I thought it was good although (as previously mentioned) not on a par with The Crow Road, which was one of the best TV adaptations of a book that I have ever seen. Well worth ea...

Re: Stonemouth
BBC 2 Actually. I don't personally know the area but I recognised some of it from Mr Winter's wanderings in the area. Blimey; I was obviously anointed with the moron stick yesterday :). In my defence, I was making a cup of tea when it started, and Mrs jhr had switched channels to watch it, so I was...

Re: Stonemouth
I guess it's like all these things - bits of it were filmed in different locations, depending on the needs of the production. Mr Google says Macduff (I thought he was the Thane of Fife? :)) but presumably that was for the scenes set in the Town itself, with the waterfront stuff done elsewhere. Wully...

Stonemouth
I don't often post in here, but you are obviously the guys to know the answer to this question. I watched the first instalment of the TV adaptation of Iain Banks' Stonemouth last night. Seems OK, though I don't think anything will ever match the adaptation of The Crow Road, some years ago. It was ob...

Re: TOP down
jhr, I'll have you know, sirrah, that I am at least 4 times more prolific than you. And I post at least once a month, (where the given value for month normally equates to a calendrical Terran one, than a Jovian one.) Eeek! I was talking about my posting record on here, not yours. Sorry. :) Anyway, ...

Re: YBW
No need - you've already done it. But does Arsenal work?
I see the Lakesailor Gallery of One-Handed Reading Material is open for business again.
Was working quite quickly for a few minutes but it seems to be slowing down again, now. When I can get it to work, it looks quite promising.

Aaargh; faster than a speeding sloth (oh, the irony.....) and I can't log in. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? The User Name and Password I'm using are definitely correct.

Re: YBW
Btw, they're now back online, but no pictures or emoticons at the moment by the looks of it. Explanatory note from Dan saying that they got spammed on a major scale.

Re: YBW
Hi, Nick - jhr here, from the Other Place. I was online when it happened, yesterday evening. I am extremely broad-minded but it was not so much porn as sickening filth - quite indescribable. Even in the few minutes I was on, there were multiple posters putting up pictures, so I think it must have be...
