No they're not. Vicious, sometimes, but not creepy.


I think he's saying they're East Anglian seagulls, and therefore creepy.

Precisely. It's the way they nick your chips.


East Anglia isn't creepy either.

Joking apart, archaeology is actually quite a dangerous profession. Nasty murder earlier this year in Athens. (All to do with building permits in the Cyclades)

It was either going back in the mound or ending up on ebay

I'm not sure you're fully entering into the spirit of this (so to speak)...

Is that with or without the creepy man attachment?

Yeah, but you'll end up blubbing at 'Miracle'. You know you will. Just a different sort of wringer

Even the fact that Ayger looks like a cross between the phantom raspberry blower and the phantom flan flinger doesn't make me less scared....

The Phantom Flan Flinger is a truly great shout. I can officially declare OSP "BACK ON FORM"!

I don't suppose you'd care to say what, exactly, you're so scared of? I mean, you're not in East Anglia, you're not an archaeologist or historian (too many of them about anyway) and nobody is likely to have buried a crown in your library.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
Ah, he's deid, poor soul. Thought that would happen.

I lose myself in the story. I can analyse it with vigour but the feel of it gets into my bones....

Well, that was interesting, with some nicely atmospheric scenery, but actually rather less scary than last week's. I'm not finding these anything like as creepy as The Turn of the Screw, for example.
