Sounds about right. There is no tube at Bermondsey at this point so you would have to do something like train from Charing Cross to London Bridge and a bus round the corner. That is about 25-30 mins, add walking and waiting either end and you are about an hour travelling time. I know Harwood can talk but he hasn't gone on that long...

Don't forget that the good Rev spent a pt of Lib Use researching the bookie. That must have chewed up a bit of time!

Not that I'm complaining mind, Jory ran off of his own free will. Assume he is smoking a Gauloises somewhere, alone and palely loitering, waiting for you all to de-time-lag.

Hi all,

We are coming up to a long weekend here in Aus and so I and family will be away for a couple of days. I should be back online monday or tuesday.

[andyw666]

Cool stuff, you enjoy!

[Taavi]

Hi all,
I came back from holiday to get an offer of a postdoc in Paris in the mail, and so the last couple of days have been rather busy. Normal service should resume by the end of the week.

[andyw666]

Cool, postdoc work in the City of Lights. How cool! I've just been listening to a podcast series about the Brigade Fluvial, the Gendarmes who do water police work on the Seine, and another podcast on Paree's very extensive catacoombs. Which it is illegal to enter. So I would never do that. Ever. Really. (Can I sell you some shares in Notre Dame Cathedral, Gov?)

[Bookman]

Just adding my congrats, very good work. In what is your doc?

Also of course, that puts you a touch closer to the Smoke. Should you find yourself in Dear Old London Town do let me know, we can go on a wander of the strange, the ancient and the mystical. And the pubs...

And I have loved the Paris catacombs since Deus Ex. There are also some amazing things in the Moscow system as well, including, possibly, the hidden library of Ivan the Terrible. Man, Bookhounds game in 30s Moscow. Secret police, British consular staff, strange sewers, an underground cult of the Black Madonna (for those Kult players out there). Nice.

Get well soon!

Ps My doc is in development anthropology.

[andyw666]

OK, think my brain is firing again. Buggery flu bug.

[Taavi]

Hi all,
Partly owing to the postdoc, before EOFY I have a job interview and two grant applications to complete, so I beg your indulgence if my updates slow down!

[Taavi]

Hi all,
2 job interviews, one grant application and a horrible cold virus later, light at the end of the tunnel approaches. I should be back to the book-paved streets of London next week. Sorry again for the extended delay.

[andyw666]

That's no good. You may well have the flu thing I had: included chills, aches, a great cough, three days in bed asleep and the next two weeks' coughing up bits of lung. All this after I had the flu shot!! Hope you feel better!

Sounds a bit like it - I had my shots too. My whole family went down with it.

[Taavi]

I have had another inquiry from a player willing to brave the Curse of the Llewellyns. We shall see...

Should I write an intro for the Little St Hugh's Heretic's Library?

Yes, that would be good. Sorry, wasn't quite sure where you were planning to head next.

[Taavi]

Er... anyone wondering where I was... Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is really good.

Is that the new phone app? I read a reviews, sounded very good.

Yes. Also ipad, android & PC. Had a great time playing it, although the end-of-game monster was slightly anticlimatic (pro-tip - it didn't enjoy being beaten to death with a shovel). Have also been v busy with other stuff, but I should have a comprehensive update for Grant's up tomorrow.
