Techno,Maybe Rosemary Sutcliffe's 'Eagle of The Nineth' may be more apt as you do them and finish the Picts!

Only if I can get it as a talking book, Will...I can only listen  when I'm pushing putty about...But I have got my own copy of 'Clavdivs' now.....I'll soon be playing that again.

Cheers - Phil.

Snap! I really can't work unless I have something to listen to, and its a great way to read things I otherwise wouldn't have time to. I am on book 3 of Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy this morning, its huge and has been keeping me going for a few weeks now.

Oh sorry, Techno. You know your wax cylinders? Well they now do them as plate like things for the new fashioned phonograph. Then, they took them and made them smaller and used a type of magic called "laser" to put them onto little disks. This was by converting the sound into a lot of little one and zeros, it's called digitised. Now, they don't even need the compact disks, and you can get the digitised sounds on your computer. You can buy books being read by people at a number of sites on the world wide web at places like Amazon. You can also get them free on LibriVox. You can get a copy of them on your computer. 

Conmputer? Well you know your typewriter ...

Nah, wax tablet.  I've heard he's a dab hand with the stylus

[Ithoriel]

I hear tablets are the in thing?

[Techno]

I've got hundreds of tablets.......They're a bit small to write on though.

Still the same one, Steve......I'm using the big bit of bluestone that some old friends left lying about near here a little while a go..(seems like only yesterday)...They said they were going to build something big and impressive, but that the one I'm chipping away at, was surplus to requirements.
Dunno what happened to the other lumps they gouged out.
