Your writting is enchanting. I have not read it all. Apoligies but you have many and I'm trying to work my way around it. There is quite a lot of emotion in your writting which is rare. I have thought about which ones I could flag up but just ended up reading for the past two hours without making a decision. Sorry, but I like all that I have read so far. Fantastic work.

Or life.

This hit a chord:

Brilliant, just brilliant:

ely has clearly been a ghost in my house during crucial England games.

I'd like it expanded - to know what they do in the second half and during extra time. I'd like to follow Jim and Debs' conversation so that they do turn it around.

Please, someone, perform this!

A great thought provoking poem, Nikaya! I am looking now at the Mona Lisa with your eyes, see its smile differently, in brush strokes, inside and out

I read today that child murdering scumbag Ian Huntley has been scalded with boiling water in prison. you may have already guessed that this does NOT induce vast amounts of pity from me, in fact I'm glad, it makes me feel a little better about the day that he is, hopefully, now in extreme pain and will remain so for good while. I'm hoping that the damage is permenant and scarring and, ideally located about the face and genitals.

...Poor little fishy! (or am I reading this wrong?)

"P"

Anyone seen this before?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man whom she did not know.

She thought this man was amazing. She believed him to be her dream man so much that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his telephone number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

What is her motive for killing her sister?

ok, before we go any further I said TECHIE and not TREKKIE so if you're here to tell me how many pairs of false ears Leonard Nimmoy used then please don't bother.

right, I have a problem and it is this:

everything works fine until I plug something into a USB port (like a webcam or an MP3 player etc) then my mouse ceases to work at all, it just freezes or disappears totally. even after I unplug the offending item the mouse is knackered until I reboot.

any suggestions?

(btw, I've tried that 'restore to a prev date' thing and it still happens)

This is just great - wonderfully described, full of wit and great Freudian jokes. Brilliant imagery. I like the jelly. And I like Martin Amis' ears. And I like the whole concept.

I know it was describing a dream - but it read so real. I fell like this happened.

I think the style if good: dry, economic, well paced.

I like it.

Sometimes I wonder what these little snippets on here could be used for...? Short short stories. I liked it. I could read stuff like that all day.

As many of you may know I began re-reading the works of Dickens a couple of years ago. It's not that I don't read anything else, but I do do try and get through three or four of them a year.
