Anyone from the UK?

[Meekly_Anna]

I am truly deeply disappointed.
This is the second time I have stolen from British authors, sorry, referenced them, and no one has noticed.
There are two possibilities. Either the British school system is just as rubbish as the American one, or you simply don't read books. ...

Or you just don't like the same books as me.
Or you just think I'm silly. ...

You're so mean, really.

Maybe, just maybe, they are trying to find the author now....
He's also pretty good at sketching.

I bit... it's Clive Barker... who I've not read and he certainly wasn't in the list of authors to study at my school.

Rolf Harris?

 

[Meekly_Anna]

Right, probably not. The Thief of Always is sick a nice children's book as so as is Abarat.
The Books of Blood and Hellraiser maybe not so much.
I read them when I was fifteen or sixteen. I admit I was weird. After I read them the nice librarian marked them Adults only. She told me she couldn't sleep alone after she read them. I had volunteered if I had been brave enough...
For reference purposes only: yes, I know the taste of pussy.

Rolf Harris?

Nope. Clive Barker.
The other reference was the Eater of Socks. Probably harder to find out you want to give it a try.

Very quiet in here today - hope all is well with everyone?

Shhhh! We’re playing sardines

Eater of Socks? We used to have a washing machine like that

I give a hint:
A bathroom plays a crucial role in the story and the Eater of Socks looks like a small elephant.

Indian or Africa

Indian or Africa

Neither.
I could give another hint but then...
Ah, I will.
It lives in an university.

Oh I’ve got it now.

I won’t spoil it for the others by blurting it out, though

I chose it because of the time of the year.
I love the cat of the book.

 

[hugh_jarce69]

Good choice

Plenty of coffee left - which slice do you eat first ?

I’d go marmite first then marmalade

Definitely the right way! I take Marmite wherever I go on holiday

Wanted to take Marmite into Australia rather than eat the nonsense they have on offer. They’re funny about things like that

I had it confiscated at an airport recently. It was in my hand luggage because I was worried about it leaking in my suitcase and it broke the liquids rule!

Reporting for the night shift. Anything untoward?

 

[Speshul91]

All good in my neck of the woods

 

[hugh_jarce69]

All is quiet here. Slightly foggy which gives the atmosphere a slightly ghostly feel.


A night for the Phantom Raspberry Blower to pounce

The fact you recognise it Jonners, suggests it’s right up your alley
