Anyway, i begun reading Gaunt's Ghosts not to long ago and i was hooked like a fish on a hook. I search and devoured (figuratively) all of the series i could find and i can't wait for the next installment. And Patrick (mizta25), no disrespsct, but i don't think Gaunt would be Gaunt if he accepts any promotion (military wise). Though i wonder if there is any promotions in the Commisirat that might interest him? Hmm...just my random musings. <BR/><BR/>Oh...one question for Dan (if i can call you Dan),sir..is that did you shed a tear or even have second thoughts when you put Agun Soric in his inevitable fate? i have to say, it was a really touching moment between Hark and Soric...i felt my eyes water bit... (damn dust)...i guess i wish Soric didn't end up that way, it wasn't his fault that he had pysker powers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-27908909158131163972008-02-22T14:34:00.000+00:002008-02-22T14:34:00.000+00:00Dear Dan, please help.My wife and I have been expe...Dear Dan, please help.<BR/><BR/>My wife and I have been experiencing friction, (not the good kind) in our marriage for some time now, but it was not until recently that upon my arrival home after a hard day's work I began to interrupt some - quite blatantly - passionate telephone conversations between her and some as yet unnamed party. In addition - my suspicion piqued - I began to notice subtle changes in her appearance and manner. <BR/> Initially, I noticed that she had begun to spend a considerable amount of time at the home of her sister, Margaret who lives an overnight journey away in Dumfries. This in itself was not unusual, until I noticed the hotel bills on her Visa statement, (quite by accident, I assure you). When I questioned her about this, she advised that her sister wasn't home and had moved to Dulwich, making it necessary for her to rent the double penthouse suite at the nearby Aston hotel for three nights, Friday to Monday.<BR/> The straw that broke the camel's back, (if you will permit me this brief, crude metaphor) came three weeks prior to this communication whereupon our garden gate commenced a nightly 'creaking' in the wee small hours that woke me from my sleep - now being conducted on the living room settee - and disturbed me so thoroughly that I could not return to my otherwise blissful slumber. <BR/> It wouldn't normally bother me overtly, but the creaking gate is obviously having a similar effect on my wife's sleeping pattern. I can hear her from my place on the settee; tossing and turning in her bed, moaning in consternation for some time after the initial cacophony from our garden's point of ingress has subsided.<BR/> I'm not a stupid man and I'm not blind, but I am weak willed and afraid to look at the truth that resides so visibly before my eyes and those of my neighbours, friends and family. There is only one course of action to remedy the sad turn of events that my life has taken.<BR/> I must replace our garden gate for a less noisy one. <BR/><BR/>In your capacity as a comics and alternative Science Fiction writing legend, I was hoping that would it be possible for you - given your expertise - to recommend a less squeaky, durable garden gate? I really am at my wit's end!<BR/><BR/>Yours faithfully,<BR/><BR/>'Sleepless in Strathclyde'Uncle Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501057058061825236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-81144094134142676772008-02-22T13:55:00.000+00:002008-02-22T13:55:00.000+00:00ok now i get to hear all about Legion a whole foof...ok now i get to hear all about Legion a whole foofrickin month before it gets shipped over here!
