Stopper For None

Last night I started reading a book called Starter For Ten by David "dandy" Nicholls. You may have seen advertisements for the film based on this book. It is about students in the 80s, and they go on University Challenge. I did quite well at this week´s University Challenge (by my standards) so when I saw the book going for half price, I thought i would do my bit for the eventual ruin of the publishing industry as we know it, and snapped it up. (Actually I had to go back the next day after thinking through the possible repercussions of spending three quid on a book.) Anyway, I have been waiting all day for a chance to pick it up again and have a bit of a laugh. But instead, I have been brouhgt to my knees by this:

"I'm stood behind her for the whole of the extended twelve-inch version of 'Blue Monday' by New Order."

That's it. A whole day of anticipation ruined. Now what am I going to do? Watch the fucking rugby?

Out of interest (and what else is there) - what are the repercussions?
