Why I love Pistonheads!

Should I say something

Basically I have just finished reading a book. It was a silly chick lit nothing to serious and i enjoyed reading it apart from one thing. The author had "borrowed" a lot of quotes from a film, namely sex and the city, (1st one) I am a SATC uber-fan so spotted them, there was an awful lot of them in there and they were word for word quotes from the movie, said by characters in the book, not quoting the film. I have googled the book and there is no mention of the SATC references. Should i send a email to the publisher to point this out just in case they had a man editing the book who wouldn't have picked up on it? It was published by a large company so i would like to think that they would have some sense about this kinda thing. There is no mention or thanks about the SATC film in the book. Its really annoyed me and if anyone from the SATC people found it it wouldn't be pretty.

What should i do?

WTF!!

Novel way to come out of the closet.

Perhaps if you spent less time on friendsofdorothy.com you'd lose your perspective.

Ok Ok I admit it I do sometimes frequent Money Saving Expert forum. It's like having a courtesy car you appreciate yours much more when you come back!

Honestly some of the bks on that forum astounds me.

I had a chicken Tikka Sandwich for lunch, it was nice.

Worst 'i've read a really, really ghey book and I want to comment on it, but god forbid, I don't want to come across as a gheyer on a super macho website like pistonheads where people always have a martial arts or rugby background, and they will, like, bash anyone who goes near them with a bike or a can of red bull, and they all plough one up the oxo tower because they are so manly' thread ever.

Home made or shop bought?

I'm sat here frowning at my screen. What just happened? I think I need to go home.

Unfortunately just shop bought, but they are a very good shop (home made by them if you get my drift?

It could be the heat, I'm not particularly hungry much of the time these days and I usually eat like a horse.

ALL rugby players are puffs. They're all from a background of privilege, and will never have had a hard enough upbringing to be anything than a big old wuss. Big is not hard, steriods won't strengthen your chin.

As you were.

They make them at home then take them to work to sell?

Its my birthday so the GF made spicy chicken wings, to be followed by steak and chips!


Oh, this is probably in the wrong forum aswell. Seems most things are

Well, no, I just meant they make them there and then in the shop, much like home made, rather than pre-packed in a supermarket.

In that case, I had fish and chips from the restaurant canteen in work. I wanted a pasta dish, but for some reason they had no olives and I like olives in my pasta dishes. The fish & chips was ok though.

That's about the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on PH. Most Rugby players are puffs, with the exception of Rugby League players, who are in it for the money rather than the post-game bumming.

Yes, I agree this should be in the food and drink forum.

I've never seen this before in my life, now it's twice in two days on PH.

Since when did it become acceptable to parenthesise part of a sentence, and just drop the closing bracket? Is this an extension of txt spk?
