bubbling enthusiasm for $arbitrary_topic
Parents now doing their best impression of headless chickens, looking for somewhere to buy. Their favourite so far is a three bedroom bungalow in Verwood, although quite how I'm going to fit a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, tv, desk and computer, filing cabinet and three bookshelves into a room that's 7'6″ by 7'6″ I'm not entirely sure.
There's a positive side to all this. No, there is, I'm sure. You may have to wait whilst I find it, but there is.

Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist. When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.

As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.

the answer to this is of course: stop eating

LOL. Ah yes, I'm sure that would work. As would selling everything I own. Can't see it happening though. 😉
Speaking of Headless Chickens and no eating: Blain's released from his voluntary glass detention publicity stunt. How about that, Suw? What image projected in your mind's eye when you read c.q. heard about it?
Gr,
BramXi

Not so much an image as a thought: thank fuck for that! Maybe everyone will shut up about him now! Mind you, I have to admit a degree of morbid curiosity to know just how ill he really is. I mean, didn't look that thin to me when he crawled out of the crate.
Sure, everybody will shut up now. For a while. He'll publish a book naturally, which will get fairly haussed and sell insanely. Harry Blain Potter hurray! Right- your blog, me zip :-#

I fear you might be right, Brammetje. Oh such joys to look forward to! Do you think he'll get it out in time for Christmas? (The book, that is… not… er… anything else. No. Heaven forfend. *retches*)
Suw dear, what perversities roam in that globus of yours? He didn't “munch” for such a long time, now the first time in a long while he can get it out, it'll be heaven for him. You can't deny a man his pottytime!
greetings,
Bram -birdsandbees- Janssen

Perversities? Noooo, none of those here mate. I am pure and innocent and… oh, hang on… where'd my feather duster go?
As for Blaine – I think I'd rather not think about it. 😉
