Regular readers of this
nonsense may recall my mentioning that I'd found a web site from
which I'd downloaded all sorts of books. Most have (so far)
seemed to be genuine, but I've made a discovery. The most recent
Harry Potter book that I downloaded isn't actually the most recent
Harry Potter book. It's about Harry Potter, and features all the
characters of the Harry Potter world, but the story isn't the one
that's in the last book. It's a tad saucy in parts - Ginny has a
wonderbra.
I'm treating it as a
whole new Harry Potter book, and (in the meantime) will have
to try out some other dodgy websites to see if I can get the real
Harry Potter book.
There has been quite a
bit of talk over on the astro
club's Facebook page about the practicalities of taking
photographs through a telescope. It's something I've been thinking
about trying for sometime, but have never actually got round to
having a go at. And on reflection, since getting my telescope a year
ago I've only had the thing out twice. It's no secret that I am an
armchair astronomer. I wonder if I might be better off flogging the
telescope; if only to clear up some space behind the sofa. After all,
whenever I go telescoping there are plenty of other people about with
telescopes of their own that I might look through.
Being a Tuesday, the
clans gathered. Since I was coming from work i thought I'd park in
the Vicarage Lane car park; after all it was free parking and there
would be loads of spaces when I arrived there at 8.30pm (ish).
Or so I thought. I managed to take the last space - the car park was
full. What on Earth was attracting so many people to a town centre
car park at 8.30pm on a Tuesday evening?
Once parked, I made my
way to the aptly named Queen Street. After exchanging a few insults
we watched the first episode of the new series "Alcatraz".
Once we got over the novelty of playing spot the actors from "Lost",
"Terra Nova" and every other TV show known to
science we realised the show was actually quite good. I liked it - it
has promise. Let's hope it lives up to that promise.
Meanwhile the Sex Pistols
are re-releasing
their classic album. I think I've still got it on CD somewhere...
