Agatha Christie was a really poor writer.

I agree with you, but that was part of the appeal - Dorothy L. Sayers was the far more accomplished crafter of mystery without needing to revert to nonsense like people trapped on an island long enough to be murdered but not rescued. Her Five Red Herrings is the pinnacle of the genre, but people don't want hard to solve, difficult to follow stories. You solve the mystery, you buy the next book because it makes you feel good about yourself.

Football would be improved by making all outfield players play with their arms tied behind their backs. And whilst wearing flippers.

Agatha Christie was a really poor writer.

She didn't have to be a good writer, she was clever and creative. She came up with a formula that could be replicated across a number of different characters but still using different storylines each time. Yes, it was rinse and repeat but it's no real different to a soap opera which are basically the same format in each episode with a few tweaks here and there.

I would pay extra to support GOT if it we could abolish those needless birthday threads, and the Word Association thread.

Fair. Like I would tell you my birthday. Might as well doxx myself in context. Gave you lot enough already.
