been listening to loads of the black crowes this morning, mainly stuff off the 'by your side' album virtue and vice never fails to raise a smile for some reason

Oh and if there are any people who would like to learn more about the books of his that they have read then I would recomend this a cracking book

Another nice little article about him here

A fair few of his films would have made awesome movies. used to love his little nod to fans with the returning Rumbo character, I have made it my mission in life to at some point own a squirrel called Rumbo

Yeah thats the Lair I think, wasn't a bad sequal in all fairness, not as good as the original but it stood up to the test, Domain was pretty shite even though I wouldn't mind reading that one again.

I dunno I have read a few things about it this morning but none of them say what he actually died of. A few months ago my mom was throwing out a load of my books that was round at their house and I said throw everything out except for my James Herbert books....she threw the **** lot out claiming she didn't know which ones were by James Herbert. I've slowly been replacing my collection just the other day I bought haunted, once and the others. luckily I had the majority of them safely tucked away in my book case at home The others has probably gotta be my favourite by him. Oh and I'm actually re-reading the rats today in tribute to him, started it this morning and I'm on page 24 at the moment

My favourite author (even though I have kind of grown out of his books) I still remember when my dad gave me 'the rats' to read when I was 11 years old thinking it would scare the shite out of me but I was engrossed in it (why you would give a kid of that age a book like that I dont know) and from then on I have read everything he has ever done. James Herbert dies aged 69

I'm more than half way through this now, its a bit of a strange one, I dont think the 1 big story holding all of the short stories really works and I think it actually detracts from some of the short stories. Its difficult to picture them happening in the real world (even the ones that are semi feasible, I cant help but read them as if it is some crazy bleak cartoon reality where its always raining. Each of the stories are pretty **** bleak and there has been one or two that have been pretty good but all in all its just a bit...meh I like the morbidly depressing angle that each story has though that is what is keeping me turning the pages at the moment so far I would give it a 2.5 out of 5

David Haye to apparently return to the ring on July 6th and it WONT be against a Klitschko

I used to be a lager man but these day's I find that I quite enjoy a nice ale rather than ice cold lager but if I'm on the lash then I go for whatever is cheapest

I like stuff like that though, kind of makes me feel sub human by reading it

Wouldn't that get very expensive very quickly???

Oh and I'll be spending a large portion of the night (probably between 10 and 11:30ish) hanging out of the window watching the fucktards fighting and vomiting after their paddies day celebrations

well I have got my night planned anyway finishing work and diving headfirst into my local for a few pints, dive out of there before the paddies day festivities get underway get home have a few more cans then I am going to blast out some red neck music (drive by truckers, blackberry smoke, James McMurtrey, drag the river etc etc) and have me a good old fashioned lonesome hillbilly hoedown then order a phat ass curry tomorrow tidy my flat read my book and chill the fook out sunday nice quiet one round at me mom n dads I need to have a relatively chilled out weekend because last weeks plans for a quiet one went tits up and I ended up on a 3 day drinking session so this time I am determined to take it easy

Just bought this to because I'll be finishing my other book at some point tonight or tomorrow this is one of the reviews off amazon

Had this recomended to me on goodreads, I have to say I pretty much want it rite now. The reviews on goodreads are pretty much all positive saying that this 'new' style of writing though difficult at the start eventually really settles in and adds to the feel of the book. No paragraphs, All capital letters, completely 1st person nearly every review compares him to Lovecraft so I am going to get this ordered ASAP

Definitely agree with this, if you put a chagoi/saragoi/orchiba shiguri in amongst other karp they calm all of them down and within a few weeks they come to the surface and even swim onto your hand and let you lift them out of the water without them types of fish in there mine just didn't want to know

I've been going through a pretty **** rough patch just lately, work is pissing me off, I have absolutely zero money (because of my shit job), people I know dying, people really close to me having pretty major health scares pretty much everything that can get thrown at me has been thrown at me in the last few weeks. Normally I never let things get to me at all and I can just plod on day by day but this time I found myself feeling really low, haven't been speaking to anyone, I dont think I have held a single conversation with anyone at work in over a week (nothing overly new there but still) Anyways I woke up this morning the usual thoughts ran through my head and I was pissed off again within about 30 seconds of waking up, then walking to the bus stop I put on the stone roses and almost straight away I had a smile on my face thinking back to good times I've had listening to the album over the last 15 years. I had a spring in my step for the first time in weeks, thinking about the laughs I had at college, the piss ups that we have had in our back gardens with it blasting out, the heaton park gig last year etc etc. Just made me think how **** powerful music can be and how it can affect your mood, for the time being at least the country music is going to the bottom of the pile and the happier shit is coming out. Does anyone else have any specific albums they pull out to cheer themselves up when they are **** off with life in general?

I still haven't seen the B Hop fight yet, I forgot to record it last night so I'm waiting till it is back on at 3 and I'll watch it then

Broner completely skipping the 140 weight is a bit of a let down, he could have had a few good scraps at that weight. Broner is massive for a lightweight and will probably come in bigger than paulie anyway

Can you blame him???

fixed

for dinner today I had a lamb kebab baguette in spicy mint sauce and a steak and kidney pie

I would say the **** with his finger on the big red button is probably a tad more scary than lil old me
