Can you ask him what the password for the special features bit on the site is.
I'm not sure it's in my proof.

Thanks

Carla

Not sure what you mean.

If it's something for the WOLP release, it may not exist yet, since the book isn't coming out for another 3 months.

I take it you've already finished the other two books and are now reading the proof, or are you cheating again?

i finished the LIAGB at lunch time but only had time to read 5 pages of WOLP.

the page is on the website

www.jasperfforde.com/specialfeatures.html

so i half hope the rest is there as well...

it's ok if you don't have time to ask. I can wait till July

Have fun tonight!

Well, it does say that if you want to know the password you should read the book, so maybe it's hidden somewhere inside it?

Not that any of US need any added incentive to read the book......

yeah, i'll keep you all posted if i find anything in the book... i think i know what i'll be doing this evening...
not sure i can finish it tonight though, i do need to do some washing and WOLP seems bigger than the other 2...

Well, I'm off momentarily to drive down to Dayton to see Jasper. Wish me a safe drive free of too many irritating construction delays. I'm going to find the bookstore, meet a friend from Columbus there, and we'll grab some dinner before staking out the bookstore for a seat for the reading.

I'll be sure to say "Hi" to Jasper from y'all.

erm...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who spent a good amount of time trying words as 'password'...

(tell me I wasn't the only one please)

no, i did the same!

Have you tried 'Password' ?

(I haven't, just thought it's usually worth a punt)

OI! No spoilers! Of any kind!

In an attempt to reduce my nagging need for WOLP, I bought Big Night Out. And very good Mr Ff's thingummy is too, making me laugh out loud in Birmingham (just before I was run over by a crane - I kid you not). Some other good stories in there, not least the one by Barbara (sp?) Else (IIRC) about a woman in an Old Folks Home, that did everything a short story should.

I've been telling everybody about that book for ages and ages and ages *roll eyes*

Glad someone finally listened to me ehehe

So, I wouldn't have heard about it through Jasper's list of books then?

OK, so I knew you had it - but still ;)

It's bad enough to be in Birmingham, but to be run over by a crane too?

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

Clumsy birds, cranes. Not sure how good they'd be at holding a steering wheel

Correction. I'm reliably informed it was a cherry picker, rather than a crane. (insert innuendo here)

Apparently French slang for 'being bored out of one's skull' is "être de Birmingham"

For once, I might agree with the French. Birmingham does have a good Chinatown, though, with lots of restaurants. It also has a @#$%& cafe that offers every variation of eggs and stuff you would imagine. The menu reads like an egg version of the spam sketch.

Birmingham has many fine points, none finer than the roads leading out of the city...

Not really fair, actualy - the New Bull Ring looks pretty exciting, Millennium Point is pretty cool (if empty), and of course it has a great climbing wall, to which is attached large quantities of my DNA.

I forgot to bring a support bandage for my ankle, but managed to take my mind off it by removing all the skin off my knee caps, my finger tips and my right temple (they said I couldn't use my head to help me climb and they were right). Also helping me forget my ankle was wrenching my left knee and the interesting popping noise my left hip makes whenever I lift my leg too high. Still, it was fun.

Birmingham isn't that bad, really. It's better than Nottingham, in my opinion.

We all have our own least favourite cities. Mine is a dead heat between Leeds and Manchester.

He did all this on an indoor wall, folks. I hate to see how much damage you could do to yourself climbing granite in Derbyshire. Maybe some divine force is trying to tell you that climbing is not, perhaps, your thing. Maybe best stick to the water.
