paging Krusty/Italian exoticaistis

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

 

V-maxs on fire off the hard-shoulder of the M25,.
I watched red-painted bulbs glitter in the dark out in a field
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

that sort of thing?

 

I'm looking at something like this:

http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-u...GUSTA&model=&min_pr=&max_pr=6000&max_mileage=

presumably the bearing's not going to be an issue at that mileage?

 

Ask me in France.

 

It shouldn't be, as long as it hasn't been spannered by a wanker &
jetwashed to within an inch of its life.

If you want some more in-depth advice/opinions, ask on the MV Yahoo
group (which I happen to run) -
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/MV-Agusta/ Plenty of Brutale
owners on there, some of whom have done big miles.

<illusions shattered>

With his name I sort of imagined him as a cross between a 1960s secret
agent and a 1930s toff.

Is he as orange as darsy?

 

No-one is as orange as darsy. Not even darsy.

 

especially not darsy.

 

About the time you stopped cutting hair.

 

Fucking millennial papist.

 

Nah. Banks.

 

Anyone read the new culture novel yet? I spotted it in Waterstones
window but wasn't in an M mood.

 

Fraid not. I've recently fallen out of love with SF and am having a
sabbatical from it for a while.

 

i never buy hardbacks. waste of money and shelf space.

looking forward to the softback though.

 

reading the reviews, most of the people who don't like it don't like
The Algebraist either[1]. Since I really liked that book, this bodes
well for the new one.

[1] I suspect they missed the fact that it was a work of irony.

 

It's on my list too.

I mostly agree, but (and this may come as a surprise) every now and
again I get a little bit impatient and want something NOW!

I think I'll wait until then.

 

*ding*

or occasionally, if the hardback's a little out-of-the-ordinary, I'll
go for it. For instance, I was going to buy the paperback of Adam
Robert's "Splinter", when I noticed a signed (no. 701 out of 1000!!!)
limited edition box set of the hardback + the hardback of the Jules
Verne book ("Off on a Comet") which was the inspiration for Robert's
book. £20, but a nicely bound and printed set.

 

Yes, I'd have got that if I'd seen it.

I used to have a dreadful boxed set and slip case habit which I think
I've broken. Last I can remember getting (which reminds me the Harvey
Wood/Byatt Memory anthology is rather good) is a Sarah Waters one of
the first three books. Must move Nightwatch up the to be read pile.

 

Matter :- A good read, currently about halfway through.
