Dates and times might help jen.

Completely unrealistic plot, I was unable to suspend my disbelief.

edit: infact, these books will be getting used in school and hence rendered worthless once handed to a child. Signed or not.

Sadly, that was my first thought too.

Let's hope that recording is lost forever.

you're a spoil sport Mr Semprini

this is a story i feel i must know immediately!

alas i have uni tomorrow, but given eli's obsession with every julia donaldson book he's got his mitts on, this would either be a really good or really bad idea!

A few years back, myself and Clan Vonzilla went to Largs. As I was sat in the back of the car, I had to read a story (The Gruffalo, as you may have guessed) to child #1.
Apparently, I was very good at it, but was unaware at the time that Bob was recording it on his phone.

Then he dropped it in a pint of something and it's never made it into the public domain.

I can see you'd be good at entertaining the kiddies with your storytelling. If you're feeling at all rusty you can come up and help me with Eli's incessant book-lust, though nowadays he tends to read it to you.

It's saved in my brain, and it's never leaving
