Hi everyone =)

My name is Deb.

I'm new to this fforum.

I'm an ardent Fforde fan.
So far I'm up to Something Rotten. I read these books as s l o w l y as is possible as I never want them to end.

Hi Deb - it is good to see a cheery face.

Help yourself to pie. Today they are arranged in alphabetical order, but as all of them are called "pie" that may not help....

How can the pie fling armies (of darkness or otherwise)? It doesn't even have hands!

*ducks under flying pies... (not magpies)*

Goodness gracious it all descends into madness here pretty quickly. Welcome, and please leave any sense of normality at the door.

Welcome, Deb.

I see someone already thought to bring the pie and the popcorn... and the gum (a necessity).

I have Battenburg! Anyone want some? It's quite aerodynamic, you know.

Please note all our pies are proper virtual ones for eating!

Throwing custard pies are usually filled with shaving foam or a light mixture.
See here or here for throwing info.

Welcome Deb!

Damn, I just got hit by some low-flying custard.

All this sugar is making me diabetic. I'll have some pie to take my mind off it.

I recommend the Steak and kidney, unless you are vegetarian, in which case, thow out the filling (meat) and the pastry (butter).
