When Flying Saucers Attack!

[j.r-ahde]

Hello you all!

Only now I will be adding something to this thread;

I am skeptical about flying saucers. However, I must admit, I have seen ones.

The peculiar thing being, that my ex-girlfriend was always around...

All the best
Jukka¨

Nice one Jukka! I bet they was watching you!

I was in West Hull today, for reasons that will become apparent soon, and found a seond hand book shop, simply entitled "West Hull Books" and I found some books.

I picked up,
The world of the unexplained-S.Webb and Son,
The Giant book of the unknown-Colin Wilson and Dr. Chris Evans,
Nostradamus, The Final Prophecies-Luciano Sampietro,
The Complete prophecies of Nostradamus-Henry Roberts, Robert Lawrence,
Doomsday 1999 AD-Charles Berlitz,
The UFO Experience-J Allen Hynek,
Life after death- An Index book,
The Afterlife-Jenny Randles and Peter Hough,
Unsolved Classic True Crime Murder cases- The JTR Section is written by Colin Wilson,

And The Running Man-Richard Bachman/Stephen King, for a bit of fictional fun!

I will be reading for a while!

Hi Mike

I bought that true crime murder case one about 20 years ago and it's all good. There were some cases in there that I knew little or nothing about at the time. I think I like the one about the Wallace Case by Dorothy L. Sayers the best but there isn't a clinker in the bunch.

There was a sequel book of a sort called Still Unsolved which I also have.

[Mike Covell]

Thats the one, and I almost missed it! He had a small selection of True Crime books, including "Portrait of..." and a "Diary of..." but as I had multiple copies of these I stayed away.

The store was small and he didn't take cards so I had to run to a cash point, and upon returning, I saw the book in the window.

I will be returning at some point!

Think I'll open up a bookshop in Hull!!!!...a profitable business indeed!


Some good books you got yourself there,Mike.

We used to have a great little independant book shop on Holderness Road in East Hull. It was closed after it was decided to knock down the shops to build a shopping centre, so the owner moved.

He lasted only a year at his new location, after it was decided to knock it down to build a new shopping centre!

It was a real shame, and his store had some great titles!

He is now retired!

Is bookselling economic any more for the small shops? Mores the pity ,but i believe it is.nt....having said that if anyone goes to workington cumbria for any reason,there is a great little bookshop there,forget the shops name,but its stacked to the gunwhales with second hand books,untidy yeah,but a real treasure trove,....and every book is a pound whether hardback,softcover.....i picked up, last month.....a copy of the zodiac killer, robert graves "goodbye to all that", a hardback book of norman rockwells illustrations,5 catherine cooksons novels for the wife, mark twains autobiography,helter skelter ,prescotts double book of the conquest of mexico and conquest of peru .....all for a tenner (he knocked a pound off ).... worth a visit if you are around that locality.

There is another bookshop like this in Orpington High Street in Kent...

Hundreds of books of just about any topic you can think of

(You can sell your unwanted books there too.)

Some specialist books are a bit pricey,depending on what you need...

Generally,they have some "special offer" racks,and most are very reasonable.

A good morning's trawl,and they sell coffee,so you can sit and have a read before you buy.

There are a couple in Hull like that, but most of the book shops are linked to charities in some way. There is an Oxfam shop which is devoted to books and contains some expensive first editions.

There is also a well known little shop in Beverley which is off the beaten track and contains lots of little books, postcards and victorian clay pipes!
Some of the books are very rare, and as such expensive, but last time I was in there, I came away with a backpack, and 2 carrier bags full of books!

These shops sound wonderful.

Mike, I heard you were feeling bad. Hope you're feeling better now.

Maybe Divakind, who is doing the play, should go to that shop and get one of those clay pipes.

[Mike Covell]

Hi Celesta, It has been coming and going, one second I feel fine, the next I am very sleepy, luckily the children are at School and Nursary, so I can quite easily take a nap.

I usually try to take a walk at lunchtime as my heart begins to get slow, it helps speed it up, and keeps my on my toes.

The clay pipes were lovely, quite cheap, but looked so fragile!

[Celesta]

Hi Mike,

Here I was thinking that they were about to get to the bottom of this heart problem. Take care of yourself. I know you are doing your best.

What do you think of the way TAPS is using the K2 meter? I just have a hard time believing it. Have you all tried it? Letting a spirit communicate its presence through it?

We are having some really fine early Autumn days here. I hope the same is true for you all.

[Mike Covell]

As with every piece of technology it has it's pro's and con's.
It is a very very expensive piece of kit, and they are hard to get hold of, they also appear too good to be true.

We have had some dark, wet, windy, evenings, which all add to the atmosphere. It is Hull Fair in a few weeks, and it always rains, but it never spoils the fun.

We also have a fully booked Halloween, and are currently turning venues away!

As for my heart, I will not find anything out until March 2009!

[Celesta]

I have to say that I'm a bit skeptical about it, right now.

There's a long video on how they have been using it on the TAPS forum under the photos, videos, etc. You may have seen it.
