Wohoo, just reserved my copy over the phone to Sansburys in Bexleyheath - considering I live about 300 miles from there, I think that's pretty good going.

Was it someones birthday or are you using that as an excuse to fuel your addiction to chocolate? :D

she was 76 or something - and it wasn't a chocy cake, it was a blackcurrent one, but apparently it had lots of sugar in it... and apparently so did the chocy biscuites afterwards!

argh, kids are stupid.

From BBC:

I can't wait for the next Harry Potter book to come out. On Saturday I really want to get a copy, but I don't think I will. I think that Harry will be related to Voldermort and i think Dumbledore will die as there is no one with a hairy beard to play him in the films. I think Hermione will hitch up with Harry or Ron.

Why would you kill a character in the book because the actor that played him passed away? Anyhow, the bloke that plays Gandalf in LOTR is playing Dumbledore in the next film I believe.

I agree with foggy about how bad the harry potter thing is, although have not read any book, because I was put off them by the crappy films
Posted by jlittle, 09:32, 18th June 2003:

Posted by jlittle, 09:32, 18th June 2003:

I agree with foggy again, but I have started reading discworld
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:03, 18th June 2003:
 
Discworld..I never could get the humour of Pratchet. Saying that, Luggage does make me laugh
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:13, 18th June 2003:
 
Is Luggage the correct name?
