Edit: I believe I have the series stored in a box somewhere.
If you have trouble tracking them down PM me and I will look for them.

Sounds about right. I think I bought the series at a book store at the Montreal Central Station in 1981.

Isn't it about time the UK Postal Workers went on strike?
Their strike is late this year? Maybe they're waiting for the Cristmas post this year.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Looks like Circle of Light is for sure what you're looking for.

Hi,

the LHC has produced a mini Big Bang:

Or, you perceive yourself to be here until time snaps back like a rubber band and obliterates your constituent atoms.

Watched an outstanding football match this weekend & have adopted Newcastle as my new second-favourite side... not only do they have a hill giant at striker:

but the gk is the namesake of my all-time best/worst swords-and-sorcery movie:

Following recent off-pitch events, a hill giant is a baby deer in comparison to Andy Carroll. However, it was a great match.

Expect to see the hill giant in the next England team.

Every Xmas, John Lewis (the staff-owned retailer here in the UK), produces a lovely seasonal ad. They have just released 2010's.
Warning, if you are allergic to christmas sentimentality do not clink the link. :wink:

Interesting story about an individual who seems very similar to cougarrinard.

Fascinating article, if a bit long. Still, the part I found most interesting is that apparently eBay has created a new system to get rid of really bad problem buyers. Frankly, I'll believe it when I see it. And, as bad as the Britty Kitty has been, he's probably not bad enough now to make their new list. I hope I'm wrong.

Anyway, thanks for the link.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I love how the article actually helps the campaign. Win-win in the lose-lose category of all publicity is good publicity department... what about that is
"new" anyway?
