    The diving board that goes through the window? It's been a pretty permanent fixture for 27 years and I believe it was there when I last visited - though I'm also pretty sure I've seen the room being used for other things, with the board removed. Or were you thinking of something else?

    Definitely one of my favourite spots here. And no matter what's on show at the museum, I always feel the place itself is worth a visit - the architecture, the garden around it, the placement by the sea.

    Yevgeny Zamyatin: We, 1924.

    No I haven't read it, but I've read about it when reading about science fiction: Moorcock was probably the most influential writer/editor on the new wave of SF, on the UK side of things. Last year I did read his also very weird The Final Programme, which was released in the same, psychedelic...

    ^ Nice editions! And yes, just those six stories are what I'm after. Adding the second volume of the Saga Press hardcovers will accomplish that. Only other sword & sorcery author I'm interested in after this is Karl Edward Wagner, but sadly he's out of print.

    I love this one - the scene on the bridge is spectacular. And great soundtrack by Tangerine Dream - who also made soundtracks for Michael Mann's Thief (1981) and his The Keep (1983) and one of the two soundtracks for Ridley Scott's Legend (1985). The original version of Sorcerer, the black &...
