Hello everyone, greetings from the grim north!
Hello!
I'm a fan of Robert Rankin books, and have been trying for years to get them shipped across to the colonies... I'm still missing a couple of Cornelius books, but I have all the Brentford Trilogy, and I'm still actively searching!
Yes, I do lurk but it would be difficult for me to make it to a pub night in Britain from my home in Vancouver, Canada
, so I enjoy the British sense of humour from afar
Hello everyone, greetings from the grim north!
Ooh, which part of the North would that be then? Coz it's not too shabby here at the moment, if you don't mind the odd torrential downpour.
Seriously though, always nice to see new members from Northern parts, it helps to know who we are for organising events.
Ohwowohwowohwow!
Two lurkers debagged! I mean defrocked, I mean decloaked!
Hooray! Hello and welcome!

Can't get Rankin books in Canada? Tried Amazon.ca?
All the Cornelii are there for under $5 (though those are probably used)
Grim? Hah! I've been to Skeggie.
(Don't know about bracing, it was bloody freezing!)
Good to see you posting

Skeggie? Used to go out with a girl who lived in Skegness.
Hello new peeps Nice to have you aboard.

Brilliant! Thanks for the pointer to the bookdepository.co.uk I now have Sprout Mask Replica on order!
They don't currently have stock in the 2 Cornelius books I am missing, but I will check back in the future.
I have had some success with amazon.ca in the past - but sometimes they say they can send me a book, but then write with apologies because they couldn't find it! (I've had Sprout Mask Replica on order twice now!) I'm not that fond of buying used books... but I may need to try it.
Cheers! Thanks for the help!
