...Poor little fishy! (or am I reading this wrong?)

"P"

Anyone seen this before?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man whom she did not know.

She thought this man was amazing. She believed him to be her dream man so much that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his telephone number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

What is her motive for killing her sister?

ok, before we go any further I said TECHIE and not TREKKIE so if you're here to tell me how many pairs of false ears Leonard Nimmoy used then please don't bother.

right, I have a problem and it is this:

everything works fine until I plug something into a USB port (like a webcam or an MP3 player etc) then my mouse ceases to work at all, it just freezes or disappears totally. even after I unplug the offending item the mouse is knackered until I reboot.

any suggestions?

(btw, I've tried that 'restore to a prev date' thing and it still happens)

This is just great - wonderfully described, full of wit and great Freudian jokes. Brilliant imagery. I like the jelly. And I like Martin Amis' ears. And I like the whole concept.

I know it was describing a dream - but it read so real. I fell like this happened.

I think the style if good: dry, economic, well paced.

I like it.

Sometimes I wonder what these little snippets on here could be used for...? Short short stories. I liked it. I could read stuff like that all day.

As many of you may know I began re-reading the works of Dickens a couple of years ago. It's not that I don't read anything else, but I do do try and get through three or four of them a year.

Great little story exploring fantasy and reality. You very quickly get a feel for how the two girls contrast, and the dialogue's convincing. Makes me want to go get a job at Starbuck's.

This is wonderful: funny, sad, dry, self-effacing and very real. The tone is clean and underplayed, but what it is about is kind of heartbreaking. I like it very much. The interspersion with the songs works really well.

I love this site for pieces like this: flashes of people's lives, written, posted, read.

Drew - congrats about Darts, and also, your writing is brilliant.

I love the rhythm, and the gaps between what is said and what is felt. I will probably still be thinking about this later on.

I liked it a lot. I don't want to pick it apart.

There's a typo though - 'drover' should be 'drove'.
