Somewhere (and I can't find it now) we were discussing Philip K Dick's books.

I have now read a few of his books and collections of short stories. Very good (albeit a bet samey WRT the dolls business).

Argh - I had a night out at the big club in our village.

There where only 2 fights and glasses thrown, music stopped, police and everyone locked in.
Still it emptied the bar and I got served quicker
