For the love of God, stop writing!

There are too many books in the world. I'm less than halfway through a pile of publishers' catalogues and I'm rapidly losing the will to live. The list for Vintage alone is mammoth. All these people convinced that the world will be a better place with their novel in it. Stop!!

Hey, Rokkit, don't panic just think of all the people who think the world is a better place because of their new easy-to- fasten bin liners. At least books are recyclable.

The crucial mistake you have made Tim, is addressing your appeal to the superstitious minority, most people these days reserve their love for a more tangible being.

Rokkitshite! You! Stop! Writing! Then at least the volume of written words will diminish and the general quality will improve greatly.

Tickling, Not Twizzling Apologies all.. arousing dwarves is more of a precise science than I thought. Perhaps a subject for Cortazar's next book. Can we talk about Ken Dodd forever?? I'm serious. [%sig%]

Actually the best place to get abducted is in Derbyshire, there have been many sightings of UFOs etc around a village called Bonsall where a friend of mine lives.

It's easy to get abducted by aliens in Manchester. It's called "ringing for a minicab".

NEWSFLASH Rokkit, buy this book now! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811214028/qid=1082519245/... The only thing better than talking about the vast amounts of books in the world is reading a brilliant short story about the vast amounts of books in the world! Can't remember the title but it's in there somewhere.. and it's a real beaut! O.K.. you can carry on talking about Ken Dodd now. I twizzle.. therefore I am. Hmm. [%sig%]

Will have to have t-shirt printed. Or tattoo on back of neck. Rent apartment far from tickling country. Start growing own twizzled food. Mix only in twizzling circles. Think only twizzled thoughts. Dream only twizzled dreams. Keep a constant look out for the twizzle police. *the last time I was as flummoxed as this was when they changed Marathon to Snickers.. oh this damnable life!* [%sig%]

at least you weren't wuzzled ! *blushes* it could have been worse - if you'd been wuzzled wuzzling totally flummoxed me when I found out .... and after I'd got everyone innocently using it - thinking it meant something else when it didn't I was not expecting THAT definition when I googled it! I mean 'twizzling' is innocent or maybe we should google that as well - just in case the definition is ........Well you never know

Ho ho! What a day for poking gherkins through the vicar's letterbox and shouting 'Help! Help! The Martians have landed!' Remember: Dodd is love.

Do you know that if you want to be abducted by aliens that the best place to go is the Orme, Llandundno! and that they are carrying out experiments on tickling ...
