Like whether "Prensky" is the infinitive? Don't mess with a cunning linguist, eh Manny?
Thank you James! Though sometimes I fear it's dense approaches to light subjects :)
Your impressive Manny I love how your mind works, with its light approach to such dense subjects.Very absorbing.
James
It's Paul's fault. His idea was irresistible, and I had to try it out there and then. When was I next going to get such a good opportunity?
You liked it? We had such a nightmare with the Council afterwards. Honestly, even if it was only a silicone imitation, you didn't have to engulf it in flames out of sheer pique. Poking it first would have made less of a mess.
No, non-fiction hardly ever is. But marketable it most definitely must be. :D

Ah... I just thought I'd provide background on my one attempt so far to write erotic trash fiction. As you see, it's all Jordan's fault! She really has a lot to answer for.More after lunch...
Right. (breathing back under control).I'll read it...after you...ahem...provide verifiable, quantifiable, irrefutable proof of correcting yourself by undertaking the following activity:

I'll comment yours, and you comment this, va bene?

You might think this funny. I have thought for some time now that I've had tummy pains as a result of well...you know. It turns out that actually I've been carrying a kidney infection for a while (since Japan) which is quite painful now that I've had it explained to me. You can guess why I have it. Don't worry. I still have the stomach pains. It is quite an ironic combination when you think about it.

BURNING QUESTION, Manny: does Billy's Pan Pizza taste as awful as it looks?
An easy $50 if you're a US teenIf you're a US teen, or have a child/friend/whatever who is, we're looking for testers for a speech-enabled internet game. $50 to call the system 3-4 times and talk to it. You need a broadband connection and a headset. Mail me at mannyrayner@yahoo.com if you're interested.
I dare say, my Manny, I do think it is time you thought about shaving!
Manny, you are one funny guy. I'm loving the polls!
Manny: Have you read Per Petterson's Out Stealing Horses? I've a question about the translation....maybe you can look at my review-in-progress? I'm not finished with the novel--merci mon ami!
Hi, Manny,Really glad to be your goodreads friend.
If you're a European citizen and you're not a fan of Tony Blair, you may be interested in signing this online petition against him becoming EU President. I am just appalled that it isn't being decided democratically. How can we criticize the US presidential election as being rigged, when we don't even have one?
Thanks for your friendship. Enjoy to read all your relevant books's reviews and comments !!! 
Thanks for checking out that old poem. Hope you've been well, Manny.

If you need convincing, then it doesn't meet your break up standards :) It is okay. There are plenty plenty more where that came from- is there no sanctity nowadays to book relationships? Somebody ought to start a petition! :)

I like it! But is it really a breakup letter? Please convince me :)

I'm rereading a book your new friend would probably like. (Unfortunately you will have to tell her that I myself am not unattached ;)
I'm sorry... I shouldn't be so easily influenced by what I read. Just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. I must say that I did rather empathize with Lord Henry...
Thank you for the birthday greetings! I had quite a good time here in California...
Happy Birthday (late) Manny!Hope it was a great day for you!
Oh right, um, happy birthday! For yesterday (or possibly the day before, depending on the time difference).
Thank you!I don't think she translates very well...
wow, de Beauvoir among your favorites? i couldn't deal with her.i'm glad i've found you, manny! you're a good man, and thorough.

Well thank you! But I'll start celebrating when I have 1000 reviews... still a long way short of that target :)
I was most worried about the young hussy! She looked painfully undernourished. I so wanted to give her a big plate of spaghetti, with a healthy green salad on the side and a glass of milk. And maybe a cookie or two afterwards if she was still hungry. 
I recommend Fauskanger for in-depth analysis of Ardalambion.
