You win Jazz_Sue.

I just came across an 1850's reprint by the Medici Society of London of the first animal husbandry book printed in English. Original dates from 1600's I think coz all those Ms, Xs, Cs, Vs, and Is confused me. I can hold only five separate items of info in my brain at once so by the time I have worked out what it all meant I had forgotten the beginning.

What the hell happened to all my posts? They've vanished :S

The celery is for stirring. Although you can eat it when it's soaked up enough vodka if you like. Then you still can tell your parents you are looking after yourself away from home and eating your greens.

I wonder how celery would go with hot choc, which is my tipple of choice...

What you need there is a pack of tim-tams

That reminds me of a peanuts cartoon where this girl has a chocolate sandwich (brown bread of course) and says to one of the main characters "I wonder what it would be like with gravy".

Was it Sally or Peppermint Patty or Marcy or Lucy or The Little Red-Haired Girl? I must know.

BK,

Martin has redirected my berserker termites. that would account for your missing posts.


Offer them chocolate and they will leave you alone after that.

My family have a thing for celery and peanut paste. But they akso put tomato sauce on hot chips. Nurture not nature there, I think.

If youy can have pears in red wine sauce then celerey in clear soup should be acceptable.

It was a different character- talking to either Patty or Sally. I don't think she has a name- She had dark hair.

back to BOOKS 1937 PRINT not in good nick BUT A FINE READ G K Chesteron's Autobiography. a pacey read telling how the well to do of the time lived he was a fine author.. I have a few reprints of Oliver Twist Mark Twain stuff but not real old.

A Kit Kat is a Biscuit

Back to Peanuts -- is it Marcie?

Nono, not Marcie- a randomly introduced unkownonceoff character.

If I come across the book it is in, I shall post it (I'm sure it is still around somewhere).

Ah. One of the generics that didn't work out.

Now there's a geeky line of thought... Does the Jurisfiction look after comic strips/books as well? I can't remember if it was stated in any of the books.

Warp to geek-factor nine...

They should do.

More interesting is movie and play scripts? They obviously do those, but how would they work?

I mean, there are numerous ways to interpret most characters, and most people will be coloured by who they see portray it. Like movie-Frodo being so much younger than book-Frodo....

These would have to be different bookpersons. One of whom looks like Elijah Wood and one who looks like Tolkien thought he should.

Charlie brown's unrequited love the Red haired girl.. she hd no nme. There was also a nergo boy in the group from time to time i dont believe he was eva named

I must confess, I never pictured Frodo as looking old... I just thought seeing as 55 was thought of as young for a hobbit...

Ah.... but see Bilbo at 55 in the same movies.... (or was that the extended edition....)

Anyway, Bilbo is much older when they show him finding the ring.

And my argument is still valid. Is there only one character if there is a series of books or one per book?

FAS suggests one per series, but what if the series is popular? The amount of read time on something where the characters do not change much (for example, not Harry Potter, where he is a year older and more annoying in each book) but stuff like Lord of the Rings (where aside from clothing characters do not change much) that is very popular must surely leave characters very little time to do anything but work.

Which may be why the Tolkien legendarium is unrepresented. Apart from due to copy-right reasons.

I doubt that I have any books around here that are old than me- even the library sale books only go back so far...

I will stay out of LOTR, as that way madness lies- & headaches, at least for me...

Was that Peanuts girl named Violet? I seem to recall one that looked almost like Lucy but with a different hairstyle- ring any bells?

Er, no, Bilbo was eleventy-one, as he drunkenly slurred at his party. The ring just stopped him from physically aging much. During the events of The Hobbit, he was 55.
And Frodo was supposed to be 55 when he set out. Young-fella age for a hobbit.

I wont stay out of LoTR... I'm always up for a flame war! ;) Stuff valid arguments!
We do see Bilbo at 55 too, you are right- in the flash-backy type 'o' thang when he finds the ring. I kept wondering how uncomfortable it must be to have all those temp lifts stuck on your face. (His hands still looked pretty old though)

See? So why does he look so much older than Frodo when Frodo reaches the same age?

And how does this affect the characters in the book? Because, due to the popularity of the movie, surely it will skew how people see the characters in their heads?

So does the bookworld character get updated?

LOL because the actor who played Bilbo is an old man? Make did a good job, considering, and besides, the ring stopped him aging properly!
