Books that didn't quite make the bestseller lists
Part 1, in a continuing series that I shall no doubt promptly forget about and fail to repeat:

Does the MORI thing still exist in these days of (pretend) you can make money by answering online surveys?
There used to be scary ladies who hovered outside hotels and gave you tea and £ to answer questions. Always wanted to be picked, but never was; probably because I generally just give 'the look' and walk fast when accosted by any stranger with a clip board...
MORI still exists, merged with Ipsos, apparently; not that I can get into their website.
I've always wanted to be picked too, but they only ever seem to stop me when I'm late. I spend most of my life being late, admittedly, but anyway.
The one time I did stop I ended up being sent a Great Universal catalogue. Most disappointing.
Ah, now I feel nostalgic... the days of scary ladies with clipboards was also the pre internet shopping era of catalogues.
Seemed everyone knew someone who knew how to get sent lots of stuff and never pay...Never figured out how to do that, and never got stopped by the scary ladies.
You got both in one go (nearly).
You took my love away from me at nights with this damn blogging and now you have me. Slippery slope to world domination; encouraging people to not do much but sit in front of a screen and type. At least now I can give a different viewpoint to the mis-guided adventures of friends in falmouth

I'm sure I said somewhere I'd deny all responsibility if Miss-Cellany got addicted.
Deny, deny, deny.
Didn't work, did it?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing what you write; that Burns speech was great.
Have I seen this before? :)
I'm sure you said somewhere your thoughts, brain, broken bikes and sleep cycle go in circles. I think your whole life starts to repeat itself, doesn't it?
Or is it the life of the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of OPC?
Ooh, suddenly I seem very spirited :) Which is nice.
