Nice job, Martin.

But the article I sent to you on 21st December didn't make the grade?

Nice read Martin, thank you.

Really enjoyed the Monte Casino.
All pictures are lovely too. Those TCR tables are just the ticket.

The nice thing is, I've still hopefully Simons article to come 😋


Colonel Kilgore

Very kind, Sean, but don't hold your breath! A very minor offering  :)

I found it Simon.
Sorry I missed it.

MILL is better now.

Colonel Kilgore

So much better, thanks Martin ;D

I'm afraid my piece is a triumph of pretty pictures over textual content, but hopefully of passing interest to some.

I refuse to read any book without pictures in it these days  ;D

Here are some methods I use to help me read books.

1.Mouth the words silently as I read.
2. On any borrowed book fold over each page to know what you have read.
3.If the book will not lie flat, just bend it back on itself repeatedly until it lays flat.
4.Exclaim loudly now  and then when others are around you.
5.Eat my chip and sausage lunch whilst reading the book.
6.Recount the whole story (except the ending which I have not reached yet) to anyone who comes within my social circle.
7. When borrowing books, underline  lines that might be useful to other readers.
8. I usually put the book back on the shelf with the spine not showing.


Marvellous.

Highlighters can also be good, particularly if you use lots of different colours to amuse the next reader.

It's also helpful to scribble illegible notes in the margin, as this gives them something to ponder on.

It's fine too to rip out the odd page, to keep people on their toes. And saves on the cost of photocopying.

All seems good Simon.

Always underline the first word on page 5 containing the letter "e" when you have read the book. This allows you to quickly check if you have read the book before. This is especially useful for library books.

Best wishes,
Martin, from a village without a library.

But now you've told me, Martin, you won't know if it was me or you who read it before?
