RichardB Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Now supposing "my friend" (who happens to be rather on the large size and who maintains his hair-cut with Mr Pledge and a duster), with the permission of his particularly diminutive wifelette was considering buying a book - would the imaginary book be out of copyright, I think so and would certain friendly individuals be approachable as regards scanning, watermarking and either Autumn or Christmas posting of alleged book (its only just over 400 pages - nothing to men and women of our calibre) ??? Nowt to do with Sheffield, unless someone from Wadsley has recently said "Yes" to Elizabeth Taylor -------------------- Last bit not to be taken over seriously - bit like the £22 being quoted for postage ! £22 - you can have my house, pets, daughter and wife for less, no, hang on, I like the spotty cow-looking cat he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
