I picked them up recently but to be honest I can't get past the first couple of chapters. There's nothing there to grip me at all, no action, no characterisation ...

I actually rather like it slightly empty. Busy desktops drive me mad. ^^ And most people have their icons on the left, so it's a useful gap! Fanbulous as usual, ...

It's the Union Jack, the Union Flag is just pretentious twaddle. *rolleyes* I rememebered another: UK: Sulphur US: Sulfur There are loads of scientific terms apelled differently, but the American ...

American: medieval British: mediaeval That's actually just a personal preference. I don't know where the 'mediaeval' spelling came from, but most people over here don't use it. American: bank British:

Hey again! I don't think I'm going to be able to get to finishing this critique for a while yet, I'm afraid. I have no motivation to critique right now ...

Hey! I've run out of welcoming ideas again ... Hey! I'm Imelda. Have fun.

I don't know you, so ... hey! Welcome back. :) Imelda
