Birth of an arm....brilliant Bun bun ; but what on earth are you doing with a gollancz book published in the forties? I'd give my unborn right arm to know.

OB,

I am trying to put together all my father's military stuff. He was Manpowered out of the Australian Army back to Veterinary School at Sydney univeersity and as such was not demobbed properly. And so I have all this stuff, including 'Top Secret' 8th Army documents and camouflage items that the National War memorial would like. All i have to do is finissh packing it and wwrite the story and they will collect it. Apparently some of it is unique.


there is HG Wells' story of future dieting: The Shape of Thins To Come

DH Lawrence's Story of Family Cricket: Sons and Overs

Asimov's story of the completion of sex: The rest of the Roots.

Since it's my thread do I get to invoke the rules? In which case can I point out that Sons and Overs sounds far duller than Sons and Lovers and the rules clearly state that it has to make the book sound more interesting.

We were playing this game to pass the time when I was doing jury service, unfortuantely it got unbelievably unpleasant when one of the other jurours insisted that Portrait of a Lad sounded much more interesting than Portrait of a Lady and demanded that he got given a point.

Rules?
Nextian?

We can't even get people to be quiet in the no speach threads!
