OK, carry on...

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

Just what does happen if a thread goes through 100 posts?

Is it like being at the end of 'I wandered lonely as a cloud?'

Um, nothing as far as I know. We just keep ending them when they get big so that we don't blow up the Fforum again and cause Jasper hassle.

We want him to be writing TN4 and visiting us around the country, not fixing the Fforum!

As a Catholic, I have to ask: is a critical Mass one where the priest preaches a disapproving sermon about some sin he knows that one of his parishioners is committing?

The other reason we started doing it was because it can start taking ages to load all the replies, and also to scroll through them. 100 keeps it a bit more manageable.

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

That's rather boring. I was hoping that when the posts hit more than 100 the Universe might spontaneously combust as we all end up as Toast.

Gaaah.... stop talking about food! That's the last 3 threads I've read have ended up food-related, and now I have to go to the canteen for more! Aaagh!

Do something pretty while you can...

I looked back at my Complete Borrowers book (and found two four leaf clovers inside from long ago) and wondered: Did the Overmantels really starve to death, or did they just escape down the gas-pipe?

Re The Wind On The Moon: I'd forgotten about the kangaroos but, yes, that was the one. It also featured the golden eagle & the silver puma (or was that vice versa?). I read it because my mother, who'd read & enjoyed it back when she was a child, not only recommended it to me but managed to find a copy somewhere...

"This vas villed vhere vhat vas villed... can get rather silly."

Ah, I remembered right then. Now if I could only tell the difference between that and left ...

Re: Overmantels. I believe they did escape, although possibly not via the gas pipe; I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted anyone else to see them in dire straits. I wonder if some equivalent of Spiller (he would have been two young, surely) guided them out for a suitable fee?

Mmm.... food....

Don't do this to me. I'm stuck in the library trying to do my maths cursework (not a spelling error!) and now I want food.... Not fair.

Ack, back to graphs...

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

And a few more children's books for the list of ones that I read many years ago _ 'The Tree That Sat Down' and 'The Stream That Stood Still' (and possibly one about a Mountain that did something or other, too), by a British author named Beverly Nichols who also wrote at least one mystery that was aimed at more grown-up readers and a number of books about his gardens.

Ooooh - I remember The Tree That Sat Down. It creeped me out (I was only about 8). The Shop in the Ford, was it? Can't remember the name of the witch-type villainess ...

The only detail from it that I remember now was the confidence trickster selling boxes of "nothing" (labelled accurately, but only in various foreign languages...)

The other one was "Mountain of Magic"
