Just a Quickie

Can't chat long, I only have half a mouth. Dentist. Ptcha. Was it in 10 that Dudley Moore did the thing with the two wine glasses, one to drink from, and the other to catch the dribble? Maybe Arthur. Oh, and just how did I lose that filling? Flossing, that's how. So, when the dentist, temporarararily filling the Gaping Void, said 'Don't floss', oh how I laughed.

ps I borrowed the bloody book and finished it in the early hours of Monday morning. Phew. So yesterday it was back to Chasms for me. Anybody got something for cultural indigestion?

pps Google, it say 10.

yes! indeed I have

The Adventuress by Audrey Niffeneger (however it is spelt)(she of The Time Traveller's Wife)(only this is very very different!)

or how about Natural Flights of the Human Mind, by Claire Morrall (better than Astonishing Splashes of Colour, I think)

or, as I indicated ealier, something very very long and

and

well, that's about all I can say actually, it's very long - the Gabriel Garcia Marquez one anyhow

what about a music recommendation? Mary Chapin Carpenter? Little Feat? someone recommended Dasboard Confessional to me today - excellent!!

there's always typing random words into a google search. . .

or going down the pub with your mates. . .

or sudoku. . .

OK - I'm going to stop here, this is all getting a little sad and desperate!

hope you find something

What about something nice and light and German to take your mind off things? I'm constantly being told to read Böll, which I never, ever get round to, but I've got two of his books I could fax you, or type out over a game of internet scrabble...

We should go to the dentist once every six years, should we? Or is that months ...

ILTV, I have never heard of all those books! Well, maybe the Marquez. Goody! I shall read each and every one. Not in the immediate future, though . . .

FN - reading the damn book over again makes me want to get busy with the sharp sticks. Ouch.

Bloody hell, BiB, it had to be someone with an umlaut, didn't it.

100 Words - As and when, I think.
