Welcome to the forum, Callum

Welcome. Did you choose your name because of the comic strip character?

It's what they have instead of May Day

Not sure about the theory. I was born in October and prefer Spring and Summer.

I've been in a few book forums -for a very short time. Some were snobby amd bitchy, others boring, too silly, too dead, classics only, pulp only. This is the only one with a good mixture of people and different types of books.

I am not surprised he was disappointed with Alec Guiness. Think of the way he describes Smiley- pudgy, with a risible physical appearance which leads his wife to infidelity and everybody else to think they can get the better of him - which, of course, it is not true. Would anyone see Alec...

I am going to buy a guitar for my daughter. Shame that our garden is not too big

I bet Ricky says the same about you. We'll ask her. Where is she, anyway?

I don't want to be a spoilsport, Libra, but I bought another book like that from Barnes and I thought it was a real bargain and was going to get more. When I read it, I found why it was so cheap. It was full of errata and misprints. I hope yours it's better.

The Fisherman and the Mermaid? I love the old ones but I also like many of the ones in 'The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales'. I don't feel like going to the shed to check titles and authors now but there is one where a witch helps the hero to win the hand of the pricess and when he does he...
