# Uuuuullaaaa!

(RIS? That's Liverpool, 2008 City of Culture, as photoed by me from Seacombe. On a chilly, rainy day. Trust me, destruction by Martians is an improvement.)

# I borrowed a copy of the BBC radio play off my Dad
(the version with Peter Sallis as the priest) chuffing brilliant and very unsettling in places.
This one: www.amazon.co.uk/War-Worlds-Classic-Radio-Sci-Fi/dp/1405677058/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199316621&sr=8-3

# Cool.
I didn't know about that version. But I've just finished spending my Amazon voucher on a Seasick Steve CD. I have the Welles version downloaded somewhere anyway.

# I think he's referring to
the Tripods trilogy by John Christopher :D

# Christopher claimed
that he used tripods in the stories because he "forgot" about Wells' book and the radio and film versions which followed.
I'm not entirely convinced, but my book Rendezvous with Karma is coming along nicely.

# I bought them recently
after years of wondering what happened after the BBC axed it before the third part.
It was surprisingly enjoyable. I will be passing them to my nephew.

# First time I read them
was when I was about 12. Me and a mate used to swap books with one of our teachers and that was one of the serieseses she let us borrow.
