I've never been part of one, I don't do groups.

Same q

Yes and you can get a canopy around your bed too!

Never been kicked out. That reminds me of Oscar Leroy, a character in the show Corner Gas. In one episode they showed him repeatedly getting removed from clubs that he would join. Haha.

Describe an interesting museum exhibit you have seen.

I was taken to one meeting of each children’s club in the area... and never taken back to any of them.
And a guy on my course at uni pressed me into his real ale club, I backed out of that after two meetings.
Oh: I also got pressed into the organising committee for gigs in a metal bar... and backed out of it after one meeting!

There’s a scale model of the entire battle of Waterloo in the Royal Armouries Leeds.



Have you read any “graphic novels”?

in my head they’re just comics that aren’t necessarily childish

Not my cup of tea.

Same q

I used to have quite a few: mostly by either Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman.
Only ones that have survived the triennial library purges are Maus and Persepolis though, neither of which are by those guys.

Do you have a position on grandfather clocks?

I like Neil Gaiman!

Neutral I guess - I neither like or dislike them in general, but I've seen some really beautiful looking ones.

Same q

I’ve seen quite a few I’ve liked visually: but my grandparents had one and I know the chimes gradually get to me. Wonder if you can silence them...

Anyhoo...

Do you have a room that’s just yours?

Barraclough clocks

My bedroom is "just mine", and my snug which is my reading room.

same question

I just realised that right now we don't have any kind of clock in the house

I have a home office, so yeah. We're somewhat living in two places right now, but the apartment also comes with a huge basement for some reason and we managed to fix some of it as a hobbies/crafts space. We both need/like some personal space.

How about you?

Five room house, we both have our own room: my wife’s is the downstairs lounge/front room/living room/whatever you call it, and mine is the larger of the two bedrooms.
My wife calls it my “study”: I prefer the word “lair”

Sci-fi?

Yes, but picky as hell

Same q

It's okay if done in my way... I.e. more emotions explored than robots. Like the one about the girl who lived on mars or venus some other planet and had a robot raise her after her parents died. And she had a helmet with a beautiful facr on it that she wasn't to take off in front of visiting Earthlings...
I forgot the name. And things like the Giver. I somehow doubt that those count as true sci-fi though..

And HG wells but I skip the technical parts which describe machinery too much.
I hate some ones mt brother likes.. I think those are the ones that sci fi snobs prefer.
Same Q

Good choice on Wells, I adored The Invisible Man as a kid!

The Keeper of the Isis Light. Just googled key words like girl robot sci fi reptile... Lol

I found it odd. Incidentally ...

my smart brother (not the one who went to witches) is re-reading the Invisible Man.

He said that as an adult it is Hilarious. He was reading it out to me last week. I think there were some lines he read out 'if you dont do XYZ i shall pinch you again!' Etc
Which really were comical
