Bloodaxe is a money laundering racket

 

[woops]

craner is a elf

 

[luka]

anyone in the arts business is probably money laundering, from nightclub owners to poetry presses to theatres

Why have you got three copies though? Do you scrawl notes in them and keep one pristine, unread like some sacred object or something? 75 quid buys a lot of oven chips and instant noodles.

 

[luka]

i got them all 2nd hand

 

[woops]

i bought the latest edition paperback, then i saw the previous edition hardback when i was flush, then i found another paperback for 3 quid

 

[luka]

one is in Sydney, one is at my house, one is with a friend. the one at my house is the latest edition, the other two have the chinese painting on the cover. also there are books, like the pound era, i buy any time i see them second hand and give them away to friends when i find someone worthy

 

[craner]

They've got three copies because it's a cult

 

[craner]

They lay each copy open on the floor every morning and stare at the words waiting for enlightenment

 

[woops]

yeah what's wrong with that

 

[craner]

It's going to be brutal when they lose the faith

 

[woops]

"they open the book and look at the words" its called reading

 

[craner]

Get ready to be instructed to burn your yellow books lads

 

[luka]

it makes craner very insecure this

 

[mvuent]

he just can't imagine any of the quillette ladies attending a prynne reading

 

[luka]

hes stuck on the martin amis reading level

 

[craner]

No, I'm only teasing

 

[mvuent]

thank you, @version. that was an incredibly offensive, hurtful comment about mr. amis and i'm glad you retracted it.

 

[woops]

im going to get craner a prynne for his birthday
