Well, the BBC funding debate's still raging, (was even the topic of this weeks Panorama), and it's probably best left to another thread. Even with a subscription service, I'd probably still sign up to the BBC's service. I still reckon it's better than a lot of the stuff available on a number...

Before I go on, can you put the spoiler tags at each end of the poem- you can read the top of the poem quite easily from the top of the page. I'm pretty rubbish at interpreting poetry but some random thoughts about how I see it... The person in question feels dead to the world, and goes to...

Mainly fiction for me. Generally, I don't stick to one genre- it all gets kinda boring if you do that- why limit yourself to a particular type of book? If I had to order it (this changes according to my mood): science-fiction, alternative history, crime/thiller, fantasy (the fairy tale...

Since Martin doesn't want to be given question that are 'Too Easy' ;) I'll answer that one (plus or minus 4i) NB for those not in the know i is the mathematical term given to imaginary numbers - the other way of saying it is the square root of -1 (knew that further maths A-level...

igkuk's correct Martin's not, but he's stumbled across the answer for no 7

Well, we were missing such a thread after all... 1.Round as an apple, Deep as a cup, All the Bitter Sea, Can't fill it up. 2. . Flat as a leaf, Round as a ring, Has two eyes, But can't see a thing 3. With this one thing alone, you will have defeated even the strongest foe...
