[Football] Pompey Bloke John Westwood Going Viral Today

Agree that bookshops need our support; even more important though is supporting your local library. We don’t need to own books when you think about it, read them and move them on. A poll of library card holders on NSC, would, I fear, reveal that few on here are active members.

I rejoined library service two years ago. Not only do I use them but discovered an amazing world that’s changed beyond the service I once new! Nice social hub and mine serves lovely coffee for only £1.20 too! I work out of it sometimes, use like a hot desk!

Two fish in a tank, one says to the other “How the hell do you drive these things”

Two budgies on a perch. One says to the other: “Can you smell fish?”

I'm a very active library user. I read loads and love the facility Brighton & Hove libraries have to reserve a book online and have it dropped off for collection at the library of your choosing. Few years ago Hove library was threatening with closure. Obviously most people thought it was a terrible idea and what a shame etc etc but I realised what would help keep it open? Using it! So ever since I've been using the library service. Can't praise it enough. Bloody brilliant.

Anyone use Hive.co.uk that is run by Gardners Books of Eastbourne? A percentage of all their sales goes to the independent bookshop nearest to you or to the one you choose. They started it in 2011 to give independents easier access to ebook sales, which I thought was a really good idea. Not sure how successful it has been but I see it is still going.

Do many people in Petersfield support the twats?

Do you guys have history with Pompey then ?

Just seen the term twats used on several occasions.

Only down to locality. Just a portion of fans think they're twats.

 

[Motogull]

who have thought that fella was a bookseller in the day job?

I'm fukken stunned. I had him down as dole scum, or at best a supply bin man. Goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover (sorry). Good on him, apart from match day in which case I hope he's goes home having seen his team lose.

A lot of fans on here would say they’ve seen far more trouble at Albion vs Portsmouth games than at Albion vs Palace.

I’ve seen their fans act like twats when we’ve beaten them. Think that’s about 3 in a row now.

I use to run a village shop and Post Office in East Tisted, near Petersfield. He often use to pop in asking if we could put up posters for his book shop, he use to buy second hand books for resale. Despite appearances he is a really nice bloke just goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Started laughing as I thought it was somebody who looked like him, before realising it is actually him.

Shouldn’t these sort of gags be plaiced under the “joke du jour” thread?

Sebag-Monteforte? (Last Man Standing?)

No - its just called 'Dunkirk' and came out off the back of the film. But it delves into the full background, build-up and how it all unfolded with maps and shit, which is what I wanted.

Is it not a noted fact that bookshops are on the wane, as are books, because many readers do so via e readers. Just a sign of the times and progression.

I think people are going back to books.....

Ah, Josh Levine I believe. Download audiobook John Lukas 5 days in May next if you liked. My favourite of entire ww2 histories.

Rubbish! E-books have made printed books more popular.

I don’t like kindles or similar. I prefer to have a book, glance back through pages to remind myself of the plot, and who said what to whom, as you see the story unfold.

I think e-books have a place, great for students, people working away from home, but they will never replace printed, bound books

Interesting that children in primary schools are enthralled by books, stories and writing their own tales in notebooks.

Weird isn't it, all these tablets, iphones, yet paper notebooks are all the rage!

As you say, easier to refer back to ... and no batteries

I use reminders on my phone but also stick a bit of paper on my fridge door with a magnet, with a list. The latter works better.

These days I note everything in a diary. I refer to this first thing. In the evening I tick off what's been done and cross out what hasn't .... It's pants getting old

“The shop, which sells antiquarian, second-hand, smelly (just like him allegedly) and new books”

Is there a reason why he specialises in books on fish tanks?

Amended for you
