Book Review - Three Men In A Boat and Three Men On A Bummel

Many, many moons ago, the Three Men In A Boat chapter about the cheese was in an anthology of funny books for kids. Thus encouraged, I listened to an audio version with Hugh Laurie, but I was most distressed to find that it had been abridged.

I was at home for fencing, and looking for something to read. Cue me at 1 am, having to bite my lip and cover my face with a pillow to stop me waking the house up because I was laughing so hard (it was the bit about Uncle Podger).

So I went to buy Three Men In A Boat and I got the Oxford World Classics version that also included Three Men On A Bummel.

A Bit About the Old X-Men Cartoon

Mostly because I discovered I kept mentioning their take on Days of Future Past in my write up, so I've moved that stuff here. No spoilers for the film, but lots of spoilers for a show that went off the air last century.

Like a lot of people my age, my first exposure to the Days of Future Past concept was the old X-Men cartoon. To this day, I still love it's take on time-travel and it's consequences.
