i've been re-reading the series and my mind suddenly connected felixs' last name to the school lola and randolph attended.

am i missing something, have i skipped a major subplot?

is it merely a coincidence?

or is there something more sinister lurking beneath the surface of this story?

Hmmm… Could be a sinister subplot, the significance of which we won't understand until Book Eight, but I think it's just that it's an appropriate name for both--they both have something to do with a "blank slate".

Welcome to the Fforum! Someone will be along shortly with pies (I recommend the savory) and tea. Don't feed the kitten, or indeed any of the fforumites, and you'll get by just fine.

Heavens no - do feed the kitten, it makes for much more fun! I think some form of alcohol's generally welcome... speaking of which, mine's a Brora, and welcome to you too.

Ignore them. It's fine to feed me unless it's after midnight. Chocolate and a vodka and tonic is always welcomed.

*Gets in line behind Kittten. Looks hopeful and hungry. Holds out her glass.*

Welcome "theblackestcat". Here are the pies. Savoury marked, as usual with the letter S. So are sweet.

I think that Muse's suggestion of the blank slate connection is most likely, but who knows? Other than JFf of course. We have a bit of a wait to find out, though. I'm getting twitchy waiting for "Shades of Grey" even though it is not Nextian.

ah so the kitten is somewhat like a gremlin?

as for the pies,i guess im going to have to take my chances
good thing risks are what we live for!

im not yet allowed alcohol,(please dont judge me on that!)so i i think that makes you my suppliers? but chocolate is always on the menu, no matter what

and thank you so much for the fantabulous fantasmagorical welcome! it really makes a girl feel loved :)

actually wait...

pies?

Don't touch the Moorhen pie. Rumour has it, it bites.

Nasty things, though not as bad as the plum pie.
Hello hello!

Yup - the plum pie pulls out your thumbs

thanks for the advice,it seems i'll need it!

oh dear, what have i got myself into?

so any more thoughts on felix etc?

it has to be more that just a coincidence

I do know Jasper has said that the entire character of Felix was created solely for the purpose of including the joke "Haven't I seen your face somewhere before?"

I thought Jasper had run out of ideas and was re-using an old joke...

World is crazier and more of it than we think

Old jokes are the best jokes.

There are old jokes, and there are bad jokes. But there are no old, bad jokes.


Only joking.

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

There are many old bad jokes.

Some of them are corny....
