Also what the hell is The Madchester scene?

The music scene in Manchester in the 90s I think, Stone Roses etc

Ah I probably knew that, a pretty snazzy name :P

Put that card back in your pocket ref, it was before my time, just. However it's a gap in my knowledge I'd like to be filled

I would hazard a guess that the Madchester question will be...

Any UK Top 40 hit by Stone Roses
Any UK Top 40 hit by Happy Mondays
Any UK Top 40 hit by The Charlatans

I just stumbled upon the greatest thing ever:

The Secret Mandarin by Sarah Sheridan

In London, 1842, actress Mary Penny has brought disgrace on her respectable family. Mary’s brother-in-law, botanist Robert Fortune, forces her to accompany him on a mission to China to steal tea plants for the East India Company. However, Robert conceals a secret – he is a spy for the British forces, newly victorious in the recent Opium War.

I know what the first book we'll be reading for the pointless book club is :pac:

I regret saying that I could play. I don't think I know any of these though I should know War of the Worlds.

Edit: Dammit, I knew that it was HG Wells but had myself convinced that it was wrong!
