Hi Ellen, assuming that is is definitely you, help yourself to pie. They are neither sugar- or salt-free, but by their cvber nature are most certainly calorie-free.

I don't think anyone is really claiming too much in the way of connections other than book-jumping, which was handled in a different way in the show anyway.

Of course if it brings new readers to the fold and they avoid the Battenburg then it is a Good Thing.

Go to ask, though - have you been thrown of the BBC blog for talking about an ITV prog???

Baffled but intrigued.

Hi SkidMarks (that's a rather gruesome nickname)

I haven't been disciplined yet for talking about an ITV show, but if I suddenly disappear you'll know that I've been taken in for questioning by the marketing department. The Culture Show covers all sorts - we did The Wire in the last series.

If you mean Battenburg cake then I'm safe enough because I find it revolting.

Hi guys - and thanks!

Apparently there's a letter in this week's Radio Times questioning this outrageous and blatant plagiarism, only to be countered by 'lots of plots overlap, nothing new...' etc etc.

Haven't seen LiA since..... would much rather read the real thing!



Thanks for the Battenberg - it is vegetarian, isn't it?



Does anyone have any cheese links in Wales - It's difficult being a veggie without it?

I'm disappointed. Three pages and you are still on topic.

Is you sick or something?

Interesting; Battenburg made out of cheese and vegetarians, even the colours are right!

Since they started up the Hadron Collider, have you noticed that the top left & bottom right squares of Battenburg are yellow? I am sure that they used to be red.

Now that the Collider is broken, will the Battenburg revert, or do we have to wait for them to restart it?

My computer beat me at chess, but I won at kickboxing

they only look red if you are going very very fast.

Red bumper sticker I saw once:

"If this sticker looks blue you are driving too fast."

The Collider is broken? Or do they just want us to think it's broken?

They know that in this leg of the Trousers of Time, it is broken. I believe that they plan on walking slowly away from it, whistling and hope that by the time they get back to it, in a couple of months, it will have fixed itself.

And they won't be blamed.

:-)

Maybe the collider isn't broken , but reality, such as it is, has snapped.

As for Battenburg, as Tennyson* wrote:

the lives of great men all remind us
We must make our lives sublime
and departing, leave behind us
cake crumbs on the sands of time.


* or somebody else

And as Wordsworth intoned,
"I wandered lonely as an ant..."

Mary had a little lamb
She kept it in a bucket

Mary had a little lamb,
it ran into a pylon,
10000 volts ran through it,
and turned its wool to nylon.

Skids,

What ius the rest of that rhyme.

I don't think I can work it out.

[But then I'm not a constipated mathematician with a pencil.]

Mary had a little lambe
She kept it in a bucket.
Every time she took it out
The bulldog ran round and round barking at it.
