Libraries

Reality alert..

We log on to the local London borough library website, and search for books by subject or author. Then we reserve them. If the local library to her Ladyships' work hasn't got the relevant books, they are transferred from another. When they arrive, they email us automatically. Once a week She Who Must Be Obeyed trots out of her office down to the library and and does a drop and collect.

Oh and the book I've just finished reading which would have cost me 18 odd quid, was written by a Mr D Coulthard in 2007.

I can recommend it.

The only downside is she's never met anyone in there who goes "Oook!"

This would be the same belgian bastards who denied the release of ammo to the British during the Gulf war, overlooking the fact that if we hadn't bailed them out twice, they wouldn't exist?

I spoke slower, and next time around she got it. "from India" she said.

Then I told her I was registered with the TPS. Call over real quick.
