Congrats on making a start - seems to me you have a lot of good ideas and you have certainly given a good picture of the atmosphere and the world you are describing. I would agree with Ashlea though. I found the first couple of sentences quite long and, although there are lots of different...

Anyone catch this on Saturday night? I am scandalised that the Vicar of Dibley came third - beating Fawlty Towers and Dad's Army to name but two. Fawlty Towers at number four - what was that about? Who was voting? No surprise that Only Fools and Horses came first - it was my second...

I would definitely say cornettos. Google agrees with me: if you search for the word 'cornettos' it brings back nearly 700 hits, however if you put in 'cornettoes' it gives you 22 hits and asks you if you meant to search for 'cornettos'. :)

Welcome to the forum Wolhay. [headpodd refuses to ask what dystopias are and is currently rooting through the dictionary]

Ummmm.....in a wardrobe, under the bed, on a bookcase, in a suitcase on top of the wardrobe, in the chest of drawers, in a old cardboard box in the corner, under the floorboards (well that's my bedroom anyhow). Sorry, mumbling again. ;)

Someone to whom you can tell your deepest, darkest secret without thinking twice about it.

His hidden him in the chest at the end of the bed - sorry I don't know the name for it.

Huh? :confused:

I'm reading Nightwatch by Terry Pratchett. So far so good - am about one quarter of the way in and is as funny as the rest.

What do you do for a crust? Having opted out of the rat race for the last six months, I have reentered the world of work rejuvenated and in my previous profession. I work in Human Resources (Personnel) and am usually found either hiring or firing people (sad but true). I quite enjoy my job...

I've just looked it up in a few dictionaries and thesauruses and in none of these did it mention that it was a chest. :confused:

I agree completely. My first (and only) le Carre was The Tailor of Panama. I couldn't get into it at all. I don't have any plans to read the others. :(

Standing on a hill in Eastern Europe and watching two huge (and separate) electric storms on a ruined citadel in the distant- on the left sheet lightening, to the right forked lightening. Don't think it would've come out on a camera but would have made a beautiful photo nonetheless. Something...

I enjoyed that :) - thank you Silly Wabbit.

Where I live now (block of flats in London) we aren't allowed to keep pets. :( Previously though I have owned a pet sheep (Snowflake), a pet donkey (Sindy), a big dopey golden labrador (Chloe), one black labrador (Molly), 5 cats (Tom, Jerry, Ginger, Mouser, Moggie), 2 goldfish (Dempsey and...

Although I haven't read many short stories I have to go with The Fall of the House of Usher by EAP. I also remember from long ago the short stories from Tales of the Unexpected - they were really good.

At the risk of sounding pedantic :D this is not the correct answer. I would like to know what the significance of the LEFT hand is over the RIGHT hand. (Hint this is an ancient custom - dating back at least 2,000 yrs) Other than that Martin - very impressive. :)

why is the wedding ring placed on your left hand and not your right? why is the sky blue? And just because we are in a book forum: The popularity of this novel was the deciding factor in the conquest of the Anglo-Saxon language (which would evolve into modern English) over...

Pornography and illegal subtances - I thought this was a book forum. :D

I would have the following: Starter: Prawn cocktail Main course: Pepper steak with chips, cooked tomtoes, peas (and a yorkshire pud) Dessert: Strawberry cheesecake Cheese & biscuits Irish coffee I've gone and made myself hungry now. :(
