"But carving in them is very time consuming"
and your buggered if you spell a word wrong History remembers...

Very true. There is a typo on one of my city's modern sculptures. It's wrong for good, as Douglas Adams would put it

and I dread the aftermath of those monks writing on parchment and all the images/graphics etc - then finding in the last few lines etc - a mistake

No wonder they were bald

I can relate. When I still used a typewriter I sometimes had to write something perfect. No erasing allowed. So I sometimes had to start all over

Sometimes even more than oce

i had an old royal typewriter without a return spring so i got a few off old windup clocks till i got one that would work lol

i was writing poems when i was at school about 11.

i started a story but no idea what it was now it never got finished

as i was working at the ice rink in 1960,s i did a poem for the foyer to get people to come to the rink

cant remember it now lol

learn to skate its lots of fun
bring aunt flo or uncle joe sort of thing lol

now i cant even get to the rink there are over 70+ steps in tiers

i would lay odds i can still skate even now lol jimbob

"No erasing allowed. So I sometimes had to start all over"

Hello, this is the Reality Manipulator aka Katrine, Jim has asked me to send a message saying that he is not feeling well and has not been out for three or four days and when he is up on his feet, he will go on to h2g2 via the library and tell you what has happened. He is unable to phone Pierre because of his ill health.

Kat! How is it it's showing Jim's page link ? and NOT your page link ?

Hi Kat. Sorry to hear Jim's not well

Say hi for me and wish him good and speedy recovery!

Prof, is because Jim asked me to go into his account (I have his login details) and put his message on his behalf.

Kat! andsweetheart

THIS! Is what true trust in friends is!
As I have with certain hootoo folk
