Yes nau! What good is a serial killer if he doesn't drop a stiff every now and then?!

But see, this thread is kinda nice and cozy and quaintly depressing, i wouldn't wanna disturb the neighbourhood peace; what say we carry our beef back to the Rant Thread? Its ok to go crazy there

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=35.msg4220874#msg4220874 date=1248130993]This present Darkness is a classic.

scary as anything however- the book gave me nightmares when I first read it ago.

I read the sequel too.[/quote]I must be getting old or sumfin, mixing up novels like this. Actually it was the sequel that i read first, Piercing the Darkness - that's one the i luved! I read This Present Darkness after that, wasn't bad shaa . . . . but i wouldn't call it scary - except for that possessed kid who keep screaming curses and generally terrorizing her mum - Amethyst or sumthing. But still i wouldn't call it scary. Say, how old where you when you read tha book tpia?

just completed THIS PRESENT DARKNESS-a superfiction

I absolutely loved that book! Its a christian novel, and i was sorta dubious at first (thought it was gonna be filled up with religious ish ) but mehhn, i was bowled over. See angels and demons fighting mortal combat - shege!! And then that part were the girl (forgotten her name) finally gave her life to Christ . . . really, i was moved to tears . . . ok, nearly moved to tears. But for a while after that i was a really good christian - really!

bluespice:

@Ruudie: got an e-copy; care for it?

Keep your head up, pal, you'll get a job. Was there myself. And don't worry about love - it always manages to find its way back home.

@jgberg: Could you write something longer? I like your style.

Reminds me of the Mayor of Casterbridge; beats me why anyone writes such tragic shit - even more baffling that peeps are still reading it for exams.

Turiano:
@JOSEPH6 tanx alot.bt any more idea frm smbdy else.

Ideas on what? On writing? Publishing? "Titling"?

Just finished Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth; wasn't bad, wasn't bad at all
Downloaded an e-copy of the sequel, World Without End; ain't bad so far neither.

Off-topic, anyone seen Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the movie)? Its supposed to premier today. Sure hope its better than the book. Ok, the book wasn't so bad, but. . . . heck, it was bad!

Turiano:
Merlin nd the dragon.

- ‘Horn’ when someone executes a dangerous manoeuvre.
- ‘Horn’ when you’re about to move off.
- ‘Horn’ when you’re about to overtake.
- ‘Horn’ when someone is about to overtake you.
- ‘Horn’ when turning into a road.
- ‘Horn’ when emerging from a road.
- ‘Horn’ back when someone horns at you. It’s considered good etiquette.
- ‘Horn’ when you hear a chorus of horns. Don’t worry if you don’t know what all the ‘horning’ is about.
- ‘Horn’ when you’re happy.
- ‘Horn’ to the beat when you’re playing music in your car.
Good luck, as you expeditiously navigate through Lagos and hustle and bustle!

Hail, Sir Rantalot!! Pray tell, where you dey get yo skillz from??

 sino, if no be for one thing, i for say make thunder follow blast you join those muda-bleeping policemen. Dammit kid, why did you get on the vehicle?? That was Cardinal Sin no.1 - never, ever get on a police vehicle!

No.2, why were you arguing with them? To prove your right? Dude, unless you have a bit of long-legs in the high places, you don't have ANY rights - not with Nigerian policemen, anyway. You are a student, right? Simple: first, show you are who you say you are by producing a student ID, then stubbornly and  candidly refuse to go any where with them, period! It'll be tough, you might get a busted ear-drum or two, but if you stick it out they'll eventually tire of trying to get sumfin out of a stubborn and penniless student.

Ok, my suggestion is a little bit harsh and reckless, but damn that's what i ALWAYS do. Heck, i got into a case concerning one of my students during NYSC - all i had behind me was my stubborn determination and my bleeping Ajuwaya uniform - and that was when i realized a shocking truth: Besides power and money, there are only two other things that can stop the Nigerian policeman - a confident undergraduate and a brave youth-corper.

But dammit, i wish it was me and those policemen

Just finished reading The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon. Funny, i wrote a short story with the same title some time last year - you can imagine my surprise when i first saw the novel, in fact my first thought was, "now everyone will think i copied Sidney Sheldon's work."

Saw some earlier replies on Follet's Pillars of the Earth, so i went and got an e-copy of the book. So far, it ain't bad yet . . . that is, if you like ancient cathedrals
