I have several of them knocking around. I'd post you one, but they weigh more than Postman Pat's van.

As above, buy or use a dustcover/jacket for the book.

Yes but as this is bratty we should also add "without a swastika on the dustcover"

Yeah just as soon as I hit submit, I was going to add that he shouldn't have an offensive cover. Or better still a plain dust jacket. But then I had to head off.

Or leave it at home and read something good. Seriously, it's a terrible book. Hitler had no talent for writing.

Teresa May. No, definitely not the one you're thinking of... Oh, and a Google Image search would be very NSFW

I seen to recall a fair number of amusing name-related mixups back when the Theresa May first got the Conservative Party Chairpersonship.
P.S. what the hell are those supposed to be? Gimp giraffes? Jon

I think it was 'whatever pays the bills' with her, right up to 'the world's oldest profession' IIRC...

Don't you hate it when you can't get info on hardware near it's release? Sony are set to ship wireless PS3 headphones next month, and a bit more detail wouldn't go amiss since I could be playing games in peace with another brand right now

I pity anyone named something perfectly respectable like, say, John Holmes who decides to Google their own name. Don't do this, by the way. Very very NSFW.

I've known a Neil Armstrong and a Michael Jackson. What surprised me about Neil was that his parents always seemed quite sensible people

I was in college being taught by Michael Jackson. Shamone.

There was, at one point, a game at our place of searching the student database for people with unfortunate names. As I recall, the 'winner' was a rather unlucky Malaysian student whose second name was 'Cheerasuwankit'.
