And why is his head on a pile of books?

I always thought the Molly fountain story should have been carried on. That had a lot of possibilities and could go in any number of directions, crime, espionage or horror.

I've heard the Nick mercer ones and was not at all impressed. There's an art to audio books and I thought he, like many others who have attempted it, don't have it. There is no drama at all.

Yes Duncan, one of the many things I mean to ask Charles is was DW pressurised to write black magic stories for each character set or was it a more a case of keeping his novels in the limelight as that seemed to be a hot topic?

I'm sure no one needs reminding but the convention is fast approaching, so I will be sending emails to all the volunteers who are contributing this year. in most cases it will just be a outline of the schedule to make sure everyone is comfortable with it, so please look out for the email and if you ...

Please Jim, we shouldn't talk about these things until anna has been initiated
