London Bookgroup welcomes old and new members

[Hollis]

You enjoyed it - but what practical actions will you take from the book?

Personally I dunno about the growing vegetables business etc. Nice stuff about leisure consumption.

 

[Biddlybee]

I need to finish the book before I decide, but I have a few ideas

 

[Hollis]

I wanna know how much money Tom Hodgkinson's got. Its all very well when you've got £500k in the bank or whatever.

 

[Biddlybee]

Isn't it just!

 

[Orang Utan]

Liking it so far, apart from the chapter about melancholy.

I know what you mean, but I think he's spot on about some of it - like the casual consumption of ADs

Well he SAYS he hasn't got a pot to piss in

 

[Hollis]

Yeah.. I got abit dubious when he went on about renting out his house in London.. while the family rent down in Devon.. hmm.

It's the lumping together of all types on depression that irks me. People suffering from depression or anxiety are very different to people suffering from acute bi-polar.

I agree with that - but he's spot on about how many of us are casually described ADs when all that's wrong is our expectations and aspirations are skew whiff and that's the only thing that needs changing

Aye, don't disagree with that bit.

[sleaterkinney]

Oh goodo its vegan night again, and our cook for the night, Draeyk, is into medieval food! How fitting!!

"Yes food is politics and yes it makes me angry"

 

[onemonkey]

I've got an annoying cold at the moment so I might not come..

taking lots of medication so maybe that will cure it.

Oh fantastic Hollis, I want a full report of the meal tomorrow please.

 

[Biddlybee]

You not coming?

 

[Pieface]

[Biddlybee]

Bleurgh Hope you're better for the weekend (oh and that whole christmas thing).

 

[eme]

I feel crap-o-la too so am going to stay home and mooch... sorry...

 

[Ms T]

Sorry folks, but I'm not feeling great either and am sorely in need of a night in off the booze so I can go to Offline tomorrow. Hope you have fun.
