<HTML>Did anybody actually ever read Jasper's story in teh Warchild book? I'd be interested to hear what people thought, becuase to be honest I thought there were a couple of better ones, although it was still a pretty enjoyable read.</HTML>

<HTML>actually i better say this is a reference to the bringing up of the thread from the dark part of the fforum. Sorry if it seems a bit outdated but I havent been on here for two days and I had more catching up to do than all the formula one cars have on Michael Schumacher</HTML>

<HTML>Somewhere down in the dark depths of the fforum there is a thread called 'Simian Containment' that I believe bears on this. Unless that's another story Jasper wrote.</HTML>

<HTML>still not read it. Must confess to forgetting all about it as got engrossed in Pashazade by Jon Courtney Grimwood. A very good book, IMHO.

Will attempt to remember about simians tonight...</HTML>

<HTML>There was an attempt to discover whether a badger could bring down a horse further (a long way further) down the fforum. nobody bothered replying to it. I've seen similar threads all over the place - WHY?</HTML>
