But the French Aaron, think of the French!

Garlic with maple syrup, Aaron. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Think about it.

Balf, let's double-team everyone in the entire world. Agreed?

The past.

Best answer yet. I had hair then, it was so much better.

Tag me in, good sir. Tag me in.

T.L. Hartley? Not the one who wrote Fly Fishing btw.

I've been to Canada already. The French aren't too difficult to keep away from if you know what you're doing.

Tagged. If that is the correct parlence.

That was J.R., not T.L.!

What have I started?

'Not' means 'not' Aaron. How many times do I have to tell you? :)

Quote: Aaron @ April 28 2009, 10:46 PM BST

Yeah, but as the initials were different of courrrrrrrse it wasn't the one who wrote 'Fly Fishing'!

Hmmmm. Have you got any less flimsy defences you could call upon?

Quote: Rob H @ April 28 2009, 10:34 PM BST

Is your book the 'Times Atlas of the World'?

NO, it's the Penguin Bedtime Fairytale Book Of Nice Places. What's your point?

Of course, Fly Fishing by J.R Hartley wasn't written by J.R. Hartley. But that's off topic.

HAVE YOU?

Wait. Why are we arguing about the name of a fictional writer's fictional book in a TV advert almost 30 years ago? >_<

The early 1990s books aside.

No point. Just attempting a humourous interjection. Which I guess was an abject failure.

Erm, Canada sounds like a good suggestion.

I've just tried to spell humourous (I think that's right) 5 times before leaving the message alone. I can spend too many minutes contemplating whether a semi-colon or colon would better fit.

We're both grammar geeks, that's why.

And L.P. Hartley was a real person. :P

And I was attempting a humourous riposte to your interjection - which also failed.

We are made of fail.
