It amuses me that anyone even vaguely involved with/aware of the nature of English sporting 'prowess' (and I use that term advisedly loosely) should be surprised at our national team's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. ;)


Meanwhile, in other news:

Dear fic writer, well known in fandom and now writing under another name (but not really making that consistent an effort to hide your previous BNF status elsewhere), writing a much-awaited sequel to a well-received first story, it disheartens me to discover that you apparently take less trouble to ensure the correct spelling of supporting character's names than your average 14 year old posting on the Pit of Voles.

That is all.

Who invented fandom-ese, this attempt to get everyone talking gobble-de-gook? BNF? Isn't that a book by Roald Dahl? And 'fen' will always mean a patch of marshy land to me. Or maybe a unit of Chinese currency. When people talk of fen and BNFs, I always picture a couple of big friendly giants talking in a field. I don't want to know what "A BNF added me to her flist after I FBed her ER Snarry story" means...but unfortuantely I do.

Someone should suffer for that.

End rant.

Wah? So, no comment on the 'Pit of Voles' reference? ;)
