Ta Birdbath, I’ll be putting it on my birthday list.

Cheers Tadmack and Elimare.

Eli is that the one you were blogging about awhile back?

Yeah I missed it too. Very well done there.

In addition to all the fforde you’ve missed you need to get a copy of ‘Wicked: the life and times of the wicked witch of the west’ by Gregory Maguire.

That was great. And yes, very Jasper Fforde. Excellent. Had me laughing out loud.

I’ve come to the West Wing late in the day. I watched the odd episode when it was on tv but never followed it religiously. I was recently lent series one and became a convert. The price tags on the box sets are ridiculous but the local xtra vision god bless ‘em are selling the lot for â‚¬35 each. Myself and The Gin Lady are currently plowing through all four Sorkin seasons in one go.

I heard the final episode was a let down but I think it had to be rewritten after John Spencer died.

By all accounts I better get reading some Fforde.

odd. i’ve just been on a season six west wing bender this last week. to my complete amazement i discovered an epidode that i’d never seen - ‘opposition research’. this of course, in anticipation of my season seven dvd set arriving shortly. have you seen it yet? i watched it on a dodgy torrent version and was highly impressed. until the last episode…

speaking of jasper fforde, i was a big fan, and went to meet the man in brighton a couple of years back. charming bloke. just as funny in person as a matter of fact. however, i wasn’t as impressed with the last one i read - the one where the pregnant Thursday has to… yep. i can’t actually recall what it was about.

Very Jasper Fforde. That’s a compliment, by the way — it’s all I’ve been reading the past few weeks.
