Argh! People who talk to you when reading.
As a teenager I could get so engrossed in a book I would block everything out, almost like being in a trance. It drove my mum nuts.

I used to do that!
I'd want to read by the fire because it was warm but they'd have the telly on. I don't get people who listen to music whilst reading though, it's so distracting. That's why it makes me angry when you can hear people's music on trains, it really cuts into your thoughts.

I hate people asking what the book is about. WHY DOES IT MATTER?!

I never ask a reader what their book's about
Because I don't care.

exactly!
This is why I don't ask people how they are either.

I can't read with music on
I couldn't revise to music either. Apparently Stephen King writes with loud rock music on in the background. Freak.

I can read with the right music
I listened to Crack The Skye last time, as that's pretty good for background music

A past girlfriend of mine would revise to the "Gladiator" soundtrack
she said it was easy to tune out.

You know what's easier to tune out? SILENCE you silly bint (Is what I never said)

Damn straight
I checked Amazon for a release date on Conn Igguldons 4th Khan book. None as yet. It's going to be called "Empire of Silver".

I love listening to music whilst reading
was doing it earlier. I then like how you hear an album or a song years later and you remember the book. Whenever I hear the cardigans album Gran Turismo it makes me think of two Gemmell books. Ace.


This lunchtime I have read the new Empire. Expendables gets 3 stars.

and swimming
i bought a waterproof ipod case to make swimming more interesting. it is like a magnet for every muppet and his wife to come marauding up to make conversation about it.

if i wanted to talk to you, would i have brought my ipod to entertain me?
(, Wed 4 Aug 2010, 14:24, Reply)
I would probably ask you some stupid questions about your waterproofed iPod
Slack-jawed yokel that I am

That be one of them there wireless hoo-dickies?
saw me one of they on telly-vision!

I've never seen one of them!
I always lamented the fact that swimming was so fucking boring and you couldn't even listen to music.
(, Wed 4 Aug 2010, 14:32, Reply)
It's not boring
It's nice and peaceful and tranquil, until bell ends get in the pool and start getting in the way.

I find it stressful,
it's always busy, people swim into you, old women stand at the end gossiping and when I get in and out people stare at me, making me twice as likely to trip.

It's probably cause you're meant to have a swimsuit on
And not just wander in naked.

Because...
They wanted to see you naked?

No one wants to see that
I'm half rhino for god's sake!

More 4/5ths rhino
Mind you, a rhino in a swimming cossie would be worse.
