Which begs the question: whilst living in the jungle would you rather be attacked by something that jumped or something that scuttled?

"Rather" as in "preferably" or as in "most likely"?

Which adverb would you prefer?

On the whole I think I would least like to be attacked by flesh eating bacteria, but I can't think what adverb would best describe their attack.

The Mystery of Edward Droo...Charles Dickens's last title. He never completed it and there has been much speculation on what the last name would have been.

Please don't hand me over to geg!! She won't let me eat any sort of pickle and before we go out somewhere she develops an overwhelming obsession with clean hankies.

The way I remember it:

"those pickles don't look entirely clean to me and are you sure you should be eating that hanky?"

I suggest OB occupies the Little geg's why I go and swan about in Moscow.

Which reminds me:

War and Pea C.

I know it only an audio book, but its a very good story about modern soldiering in Afghanistan.
