I agree with ScoZen and Luigi we need some more entries for this challenge. So in the interest of quantity over quality here's my second one. Inspired by Blur's Song 2. (And yes, hampsteads really is cockney rhyming slang for teeth).
Maybe nuclear weapons. Which their own intelligence chief told them didn't exist in the first place, but they 'obliterated' in the second place, and then started a war over in the third place. Them pesky nuclear weapons are mighty persistent.
I think it must have been Robbie, my neighbour's lovely three legged cat, who passed away recently. (He was actually Robin, as in Reliant Robin) He was an absolute porker and I'm not sure the bridge would have been up to his weight...
I loved this Jane ! It had an air of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I thought. And for all we know, maybe this is what happens. I'm so pleased he kept Floppy's ashes, they were far more important than the watch.
I've read quite a few of the Rougon-Macquart series, although not all 20 ! My favourites are Germinal and Au Bonheur des Dames (which the BBC tv series The Paradise was based on).
Well personally I'm very fond of films and books which don't tie it all up in a neat bow at the end. Leaving the readers to make their own deductions - they'd have to be better at it than Tubby Milton can manage.
Like Turlough, you have the gift of bringing the mundane to life and making it fascinating, Harry. And funny. And sad. And, in this case, just a bit spooky too. Good writers can make great stories out of apparently very little material, and...

Well if we're all being honest, can I say I am seventy one years old and I wasn't shocked or offended at all.
I really don't think we can say 'great humour has never offended'. What about the music halls ? Think Marie Lloyd singing "She...

It doesn't have to be like this

There's always going to be suffering, with diseases and droughts and earthquakes and other natural disasters.
But so much suffering is completely unnecessary, that's what makes my blood boil. This current war of choice is an obvious...

Hi Jane
This is very intriguing ! Looking forward to what is going to happen to them next.
I think there are a few places where it says 'sight' when it should say 'site' ? As in 'go around the edge of the sight only'. I think...
