<HTML>Oh GOSH!
I so LOVED this story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
And I was thinking that I'm really into all this 'weird that isn't weird at all' things, because as I started reading I couldn't find anything odd about a gorilla on the top of a tree in somebody's back garden.... you find so much more in Swindon ;)
So the really weird part for me was the ending LOL that some people might find the most normal ;)
And for those of you who are wondering what I'm talking about, get your butts off your chair NOW and go buy "Big Night Out", a collection of short stories and night out tips by a bunch of authors to help War Child. It's got a GREAT story by "our own" Jasper :))))))
(and you're helping War Child in the meantime, which is always great too)</HTML>

<HTML>Has nobody read this yet then?
How do you call yourselves fforde-ffans if you don't read him? ;)
(you can even go to a bookshop and read the short story quickly...... )
I'm also reminding you of this coz of Octavia, maybe in the middle of the light reading there you can find this book and find the Jasper pearl inside ;)</HTML>
