Well I know it's all reputable from cross-referencing. I'm on the Marquis de Sade now. 
From Wikipedia: Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, Marquis de Sade was a French aristocrat, French revolutionary and writer of philosophy-laden and often violent pornography.
He also invented sadism!
Is this research or a personal interest Robyn? 
I think its a woman's parts.
Aaron's \o/ that is. Well you now know it's not, but I could have fooled you. I really could have.

No... 
(It's Angela Carter work...)
Also from Wikpedia: Born to Angela Olive Stalker in Eastbourne, in 1940, Carter was evacuated as a child to live in Yorkshire with her maternal grandmother. As a teenager she battled anorexia. She began work as a journalist on the Croydon Advertiser, following in the footsteps of her father. Carter attended the University of Bristol where she studied English literature.
I want to go to Bristol to study English literature. Now guess which paper my Dad works for... It's an almost-spooky coincidence. But it's not really, rather it's a potential coincidence.
Your dad's a journalist? The friend I went with to Royal Holloway today, his dad's a journalist-and apparently it's like he has his work personality and his home personality because he's so tenacious at work.

Photographer actually. Stop picking holes in my potential coincidence!
Odd about your friend's dad though. I guess you have to to get results as a journalist though. I always mused over the possibility of journalism. However with Aaron always finding mistakes in my English I actually question whether I have the necessary ability to write professionally.

Sorry.
I toyed with journalism, but I don't think I'm by any means hard-nosed enough for it!

You still going to be a proper writer? Novels and everything?
Maybe...I don't know that I'm good enough though!

Should I even bother affirming your skill and intelligence? You never listen anyway
Coooooooooooooool.
I want battered sausage and chips! Damnit!
