It's more like
Draftbringer- Stormbringers wee brother.
(But ye still wouldn't mess...)
And I really do think the Icelandic slaying sword should be resurrected.

I read that all the way through, twice. Then I sat and thought of some Moorcock refs. I could throw in to my reply. Had some beer and a fag and decided
Get Bent! was the best advice.
To both of you.

Yeah, but I bet its mates call it "Little Breezy", or possibly "Windy Bugger"

someone, somewhere wrote:Arioch is a Hebrew name that means "fierce lion". It originally appears in the Book of Genesis chap. 14 as the name of the "King of Ellasar"
ok, I'm even more confused now, I have no lions, I know none, I know no one who who has lions - fierce or otherwise

Well, I didn't discover him until the mid-eighties - and I became an avid collector. Got started off on the Michael Kane trilogy (no - not
that Michael
Cane.
) and was hooked. I think he was in a haze mostly while hanging with the Hawks.
Charlie Higson - I have read one of his some time ago...something about Mr. Jolly or somesuch. A reet good read as I recall. All about a bloke who broke into peoples houses and did pervy stuff....
He's been writing Bond books of recent times so I see.

Runestaff, man.
I bought it as a birthday pressie for a friend of my brother's who I didn't like, and read it out of curiosity. Guess who didn't get a birthday present that year?

I like Will Self.
I had to look up tontine, but knew all the others. I subscribe to the Oxford English Dictionary 'word f the day' e-mail.
I'm just trying to work out what the difference is between epicene and androgynous.

Hawkmoon rocks.
Probably his best work IMO.
(Other than Behold The Man - which is one of the finest pieces of literature ever written.
FACT!
And glad I'm not the only Moorcock fan still alive....

and he was rather funny. I prefered his Q&A banter to his reading from his new book, though.
