Funny how I hadn't heard about the book until you mentioned it... I take it this was one of the books you took home to read from the school library? I can only guess that it was the only other book in the library apart from the...



Now how about you hush down with another book and let the grown ups get back to the discussion at hand.

Yeah... you're right. Reading it would only make me want to go out and find a Jehovah's witness, simply to crack his skull open with it; than finishing the thing from beginning to end.

Ignoring your spelling as my act of kindness for this month, this is in fact an imaginary world. Some of you are the somewhat peculiar results of figments produced by a particularly good cheese I ate before retiring.

Yeah, but the problem is - that implies that you were born to win... possibly only once. And you have won... in the past.

I however am a Scottish argumentative f#$%er, so there's no way you guys stand a chance against me... I will continue winning, after all - that's all we do.

We even invented Whisky as a drink to celebrate the fact that we are winners!

And the last Scottish victory was... ummm... Haddington? Redeswire? Quite a long time between drinks (whisky or otherwise, which was in fact an Irish invention, much as the Scots may have improved it).

Meanwhile, the rightful order of things is restored, though you may attempt to momentarily disrupt it.
