Niffle #27

Didn't get round to posting this yesterday -- The Truth in the Oracle by nineveh_uk:

Kissing Cousins, a novel of lust and depravity among the Death Eaters, looks set to be next year's best seller. The reputation of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black is on the line, and there's only one thing that its daughters can do about it; they're going to have to talk to one another.

Lyrics: The last one was the very fine Pills and Soap by The Impostor (aka Elvis Costello) from 1983, spotted by lazy_neutrino even if she does prefer Oliver's Army. :) Here's another great politically-pointed song, sadly as apposite now as it was when first recorded:

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays Hail to the Chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you (1970s)

You might want to comment to the Niffle thread to say that -- it's way past the time limit where I can edit the link into the original post. :(

I'll do that - thanks (and thanks again for the Niffle!).
