# Aren't you meant to wear plasters over things like that in the service industry?
Pardon my ignorance, I've never worked in it.

# Ahh lovely
I used to work as a baker - a colleague burnt his arm badly on an oven and ran into the walk-in freezer to put his arm on the floor and cool it. It stuck and tore off the top layer of burned skin.

After it scabbed over, he burnt it on the oven again in the same place and it stuck to the oven and tore the scab off.

Edit- as you've got the skills, I may have to start badgering you for lovely cake.

# Excellent book.
One of my favourites :)

# One of mine too.
In fact, the only sad book that I love, really. I'm not a huge fan of things that make me sad.

# I defy anyone to read this book
and not blub at the last line.

# *nods* at all of it, really.
Sometimes I can barely manage to read it as I know how sad it is, but I muddle through.

Have you seen the film verson? I had to turn it off after 5 minutes.

# It's an excellent book but a shit film
in which regard it is remarkably similar to Kurt Vonnegut's 'Harrison Bergeron'.

# I've not read OR seen that.

# Well worth a read.
Sort of the opposite of Flowers for Algernon. It's set in an oppressive future where everything has to be average and all excellence is stomped down - strong people wear weights to make them as weak as everyone else, intelligent people have headphones with noises to stop them thinking etc.

Harrison Bergeron breaks free of this and is killed for it. Another sad story, particularly his parents' reaction.

# Oooooh excellent.

# Aha, another great story, though a short one.
I've heard of the film but deliberately avoided it. The actual story is very amusing though.

# I haven't seen the film, it's called Charlie? (I think)
It's one of those books that just wouldn't translate to film because a lot of the humour is how his language evolves in the diary. The day he finds out about punctuation is my favourite.

# Oh bless him, yes!
It was NOT good, the film, I mean. Not at all.
