 Greetings, gang. Looking forward to this morality tale of what happens when you excavate an artefact and don’t fill in a Context Record Sheet. Evening, AA! |

Hi all, was busy getting dinner. Just started. Appreciated the potted biography of M. R. James, but it feels very dated. He's just driven up to the hotel, and the Gulls of Doom are screaming . . . |

Rather a noisy place, what with him banging books about and everything.

He should have nipped out to the Harvester. They’ve got a free salad bar. |

Hi, everyone. As the site seems to have swallowed my previous post, let me just say that I found the potted biography of M. R. James interesting, but the tone was rather dated. I'm enjoying the story so far, though. |

Sort of establishment where you draw a bath rather than run one. She needs to get her terminology right |

I'm enjoying the story so far, though. That would fit with MR James' own style of writing. Edited by OneSparePart on 28-11-2024 19:58 Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

You don't make a film spooky just by saying it a lot.

I always find the title, from a rather cheery Robert Burns poem, hard to reconcile with the spookiness of the story. |

Much as I like this, I do miss the ‘Templar preceptory’ angle from the original story |

A world where maids run baths - this does feel very old. But the bathroom reminds me of the one in my PhD supervisor's house - very uncompromising black and white tiles. |

I wondered if this might be the dreaded Bamburgh beach again, but there are groynes, which I think Bamburgh does not have. |
