Thanks very much for the kind words; odd that three years sometimes feels like a very short amount of time to have spent on it, and sometimes feels like a gratuitous and yawning gap in my life. I have invested in the Big Red Book, and amuse myself every day or two trying to decide if I can think...

From what I remember of the blog, and the bits and pieces included in the reviews I read over the weekend, I can't help but think that the whole project just feels like fiction. Maybe having spent so much time obsessing over writing some myself, I'm seeing artifice where there isn't any; but to...

Oh dear, my love of Applewood smoked Ilchester cheddar seems so... parochial.

I had a bottle of Cragganmore last christmas... as the barman at St. Cats once said to me 'son, that's too good for the optic'. When I was at Heathrow in October, in their little Malt Whisky den they had a bottle of something, I can't for the life of me remember what distillery it was. But the...

Aah what possible circumstances could make a bottle of Lagavulin put you off malts?

Since scott single handedly named every beer in the world in the other thread, how about considering another drink (since my beer intake is limited to the odd Tanglefoot at my local)? For a few years now I've been drinking Malt whisky. Maybe it's seen as an old man's game, but personally I...

luke you fascist pig-dog

A big collected Sherlock Holmes stories collection. The Penguin one.

I'm not sure if this is bad form, but the thing is, I've just finished redrafting my first novel, and before I start sending it out blindly to every publisher and agent in the country, I wondered if any of the folks on dissensus had any advice, or I suppose, to be plain, whether any of you...

What about Malt Whisky?

I used to drink in hi-lo too... my favorite pub in Oxford though was the Harcourt Arms, in Jericho near the Radcliffe Arms... nice pint of pedigree or even better, a good malt and a half pint of pistachios. Gah, please, you're making me all nostalgic.

Ooh, the worst thing about that song 'Mary' is that it sounds like current Elton John, rather than channeling the ghost of Elton past.

I rather foolishly let my blog die through neglect, so haven't had much luck getting the brutal opinions of strangers on this . If anyone has a spare few moments, in the most grovelling (and amateurish) way imaginable I'd appreciate it if you could take a look, note down any thoughts in the...

There is a picture of me standing inside a recreated set of megalodon jaws somewhere. I think it was taken in New Orleans.

I say nice at the moment. Come, judge.

Lawyers and cold rationalists both have to open their bowels in the morning. Isn't this whole attempt to demonise an entire group based upon their profession rather disgusting?

That Kafka story has a lot to answer for...

Can these ever be anything other than self-annointed titles though? (I realise that is the point of the game) but for the gnostics themselves, the Godhead is unknowable, so unknowable in fact that to say it is unknowable is to tarnish it by associating it with a demiurgic notion such as knowledge.

I'm far more worried that Mark persists in idolising that evil lizard from Girls Aloud... Honestly, cute Oirish accents aside, she spends most of the time looking like she's peering through the port-hole on a gas chamber door. She gives me the creeps.

It's the ring-tailed ones you have to be wary of. The most important natural affinity they bring to the world of Magick is the ability to hold a wand in any of their four paws.
