    Question Game

    No. Have you completed a rubik's cube without resorting to any kind of cheating? I had just been to visit my uncle (who i hadn't seen in 13years), he is suffering from a variety of illnesses and has lost good chunks of his memory. So it got me thinking, which obviously hurt, so I posted...

    SIL, The 'syke me' bit should have given it away, but genius that I am I didn't see the connotation until it was too late :D . Pink Shadow, give it try, if you can't do the talking bit, there is still a typing chat bit, if that makes sense :D .

    Monica Ali: Brick Lane

    I read this about a couple hundred books ago, so my memory of it is limited. I was impressed with it as I was reading it - she handled things with the right amount of lightness - so that things like (as far as I can remember) politics aren't preached about but rather blend in with the story and...

    So on Friday it'll be about 4/5pm for me - that should be okay although I may be a bit late if i'm needed at the office. On a sidenote, SIL - don't ever set your skype option as 'skype me' - i was testing it and I got inundated by strange people wanting strange things...:eek:

    Nanowrimo

    That's a great achievement Mari, nicely done :) . I'm supposed to be going away in November, but if I don't, then I'll give it a go. A little lighthearted competition among TBF'ers (BAR'fers doesn't have quite the same ring to it) might work as motivation :D .
