I wouldn't be terribly uncomfortable with some programme sponsorship.
How would that take shape? I'm fearful.

Can I put poetry on the holiday reading lust?
I saw Bright Star today - Ro-man-tic.
Just about to find Ode to a Nightingale which was recited as the end credits rolled. Very effective.

Stella. Butter wouldn't melt.
And I love your plants.

Hmmmm. I'm still not sure if learning the history is useful for all students.
And I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that Islander is a woman.
Just goes to show that t'internet (as Fred Elliot used to call it) transcends the gender differences we assume there are in people's writing style.

Gordon, I read all your posts because their subject matter interests me but I think there is a blog discussion etiquette about length. Not that I would know!
Because you are new here I will nudge you towards the link to Giovanni's own blog.

He's one of them interleckshals so I think he can read books. All kidding aside:)

Recordari, SBUD is a young adult book. I found it quite irritating at first. It wasn't until I had time to read it without interruption for a few hours that I really got into it.
I can see why Kate de Goldi liked it. She also writes about the adult world through a young person's eyes. Her plots also involve peeling away the layers of repressed feelings to get to a kernel of truth.
IMHO she does it better than Ballantyne (10 pm Question).

Sort of like, "Nice bat; just needs a new blade and a new handle."
I asked for that ... I just mean that I like the idea of it, sometimes like the comments and think it could be easily improved.

“I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”
This was Mark Twain?

The programming on Saturday (am and pm) is the sort of stuff they should be doing more of, IMHO.
At least they are there. Weekday mornings aren't too bad. Where else in the media would you get 25 minute interviews?
I actually find The Panel quite diverting. It just needs a new host and new guests - concept okay.
This is related to the IPWG because the gummint is starting to show its true colour?

Haven't read me a sci fi novel yet but have just finished Sydney Bridge Upside Down the reissued NZ Gothic novel of 1968.
Had to tell people to leave me alone for a few hours so I could finish it. The word that comes to mind is "Freudian".
Phew.
