My cat Frankie dribbles when he is happy. This was merely a random thought by me and has no relevance to your question Tilly.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Jno. I couldn't find it!

They had extracts from it in the Sunday Times mag. Don't know what it's like though. Put it to one side and haven't got around to reading it yet. Thanks for the reminder. ;-)

[Psybbo]

Doh, I thought you meant the original!

[Tilly2]

I have read all of Bill Bryson's books. 'Notes from a Small island' started me off.

I love his observational humour.

I always dribble but contain ones fangs.

I've read most of his books. He's a really nice chap. When he lived up at Malham (Yorkshire Dales) his son used to come down to Keighley for athletics training - I was a coach - and Bill brought him and hung about in the draughty hut until the session ended and he could pick son up. He did spend some of the intermediate time scribbling.

When my younger daughter and I had a mad fling at the end of her gap year she persuaded me to fly to New York and drive up through New England and one day we called at his house for refreshments. Everyone was just the same. I'm very glad they're back in England although I know that Mrs. Bryson was not too happy to leave the U.S.A..

Definitely - what you see and read is what you get. One of the good guys.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for that, Jourdain. I suspected that he was one of the 'good guys'.

[Pete65]

Tomorrow.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Pete. Thank you, too.
