Yup, I think it took just that long for you to charm me! Although I seem to remember you lingering a little longer when in super hero guise

Re: Dan Dare: I always had a thing for Prof. Rosalind Peabody.
Sadly, I cannot scan the pages; they're too big.
Superman, etc.? Piffle!

Ah, thank you.
And Sir Hubert as well.
Gosh those old pics bring back some memories.

I would really like to lay my hands on Hanson's bible stories, particularly St Paul.
Rare Stuff, that.

Marvel & DC comics ? Tripe!

This one, you mean...?

Of course, if you buy it from Amazon, I'll never speak to you again... order it from your local bookshop. Or even WH Smith, if you must...

I love that story, probably apocryphal, about Victor Mature being refused entry to a hotel because he was an actor (a lot of hotels were nervous about their Errol-Flynn-like shenanigans...). Mature is said to have replied, "I'm not an actor, and I've made dozens of movies to prove it!"

Helen Oxenbury (John's wife...)

Babette Cole

(Actually my favourite is Dr. Dog - so brilliantly filthy that even I didn't dare buy it as a present for some unfortunate child who got a pink fairy book instead. )

"Don't scratch your bum then suck your thumb." Sage advice, indeed...

My favourite is Mummy Laid an Egg - when I suggested it to my sis-in-law as an intro to sex for me nephews, she nearly shit herself...

LOL, that is such a book, I used it when the Piglet finally said: What does that mean, about the dog in Men In Black II saying: Do you have children? Do you want them? while snarling at men's nether parts. People said: You're brave!, I was like, I do research on Sex and Relationships Education - if I can't talk to my kid about sex, who can?!!!


Eggs Benedict, yum.

(We had a double yolker today, BTW. The excitement was immense.)
