Congratulations on being able to really spell Kinothingy as I call it. How do you pronounce it?

Every time I try pronounce it I end up with about seven too many syllables (
onji?). Correspondingly, my success at spelling it correctly can only be put down to Google.

Did you know Angus and Robertson is no more in Pitt St? There is still Dymocks, Borders, Galaxy, Abbeys and Kinothingy.

I did not know that. A&R seem to have been suffering a long, drawn out, death. That Pitt St. store, once a favourite, gradually end up having the "bargain basement" feel of so many A&Rs in all the Westfield Shopping Centres. I like Borders, no matter where; I tolerate Dymocks because of their range/size; Abbeys always feels pleasantly like a little jump to the left (
"and then a step to the ri-i-i-i-i-ight..."); Kinothingy (which is what I'll now call it
) is amazingly thorough, huge, and their filing system just incredibly precise; Galaxy...well, Galaxy is a Sydney SF-lovers dream.
Okay, stop it, Laine. You're getting me over-excited.
Cheers,
Marc
