Funny buggers! This little thread has given me a good laugh, about a lot of things.

I have a copy of TP's Jingo but haven't read it yet. I was a bit TP-ed out after attempting to read all of his books, of which I think we own the whole list. I achieved a fairly good score on that attempt, but after a while I thought I would have a rest and start again later. Maybe now is a good time. (I pride myself on having introduced a LOT of people to TP when I was a librarian. I kept buying every new book of his for the collection and then recommending them to all possible takers.)

I've managed to hold a buggered thread record on starting a thread and then the thread dies of malnourishment due to total lack of interest, or I post a comment which I think is relevant to an ongoing conversation and the conversation "dies in the ar$e", as we say here in Oz. How do I manage to do that? Conversation-killer.

Oh well!
