# Hah, you reminded me of using you in an argument a few days ago.
Only to point out that I knew someone who lived in Slough who didn't struggle to spell their own name.

# I really would love to know what it is

If you're ever feeling brave, gaz it to me. I like names.

# I wouldn't mind that
mine lead me to years of bullying at school.

always makes me think of Jenifer saundes on the Young ones,

# I got that too, which leaves me rather resentful about my names.
Despite the fact they are quite clearly brilliant, although crap for being anonymous due to the rarity.

# ah I dunno, I love bookshops

# Little bookshops
like in Black Books.

The smell of those is DIVINE. Old books smell better than new books. My copy of LOTR, for example. Ohhhhhh it smells wonderful.

# I have a top tip for you if you ever visit Edinburgh.
Find the Kings Building (the University of Edinburgh Science campus) and go to the Jospeh Black building (Chemistry). On teh second floor there is a small chemistry library full of books dating back to god only knows when. It has a smell which only a few very sexy things surpas. They've either had a small fire in there or you used to be able to smoke or something - the leather, the old books, the faint sweet smell of pipe smoke...

*groans*

# Oh fuck don't talk dirty.
That sounds wonderful. I bought my best mate (the one in the post below) a copy of a book that was 100 years old on her birthday and is about a girl who spells her name in the same way that she does (odd spelling of fairly not odd name) - it smells like heaven. Pure unadulterated heaven.

# Do they?!
I'd love a pound note. If they have any, can you tell me how much they are?
(I helped save b3ta! Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 16 May 2008, 12:34, archived)
# have you not got a pound note?
I probably have a spare one somewhere
(I helped save b3ta! Mighty Nibus who dares gins | @nibus, Fri 16 May 2008, 12:36, archived)
# Noooo, should I?
When did they go out of circulation?

I'd like a halfpenny as well, because they went out of being legal tender in the year I was born. I must shop for these things.

Don't you give me your spares, you might need them! Oh you lovely kitty though.

Fucking hell, when I die, if I've been a really good girl I might end up in Scotland.

I have to talk to a lot of people from Uddingston in my work and it doesn't make life any easier when some great big Glaswegian chap is growling something down the phone at me.

# I love a good shopping trip.
Had one recently in Oxford, it was LOVELY. Just me and my best mate being girls and trolling around, absolutely wonderful.

To be fair, spending time with her makes my heart swell anyway as I love her so much, but it just was brilliant fun.
