VF, Owls, Apples and Newspapers.

Ben: <<<But then Salisbury is very civilised - they have the best cake shop
in England (Michael Snell) and sell roasted chestnuts in the streets (not
in summer, obviously) so naturally they'd have Vanity Fair available (well,
the Harry edition anyway)>>>

I had donuts off the market instead. After all I needed some breakfast.

Ben: <<<Surely they cannot remove owls - how would you get the post?
Anyway, I'm sure I've seen pictures of daniel-with-snowy-owl and aren't
they in the trailer too?>>>

I was being silly with my earlier comments (many people start to wonder how
that differs to usual).


Ben: <<<Incidentally, I was talking to a friend of mine who purports to be
a Harry Potter fan; I mentioned that I was introduced to the books by a
younger friend of mine - but he laughed when I said by 'younger' I meant
22 - apparently he thinks the books are for children, and, despite being
getting a box set from his girlfriend for his birthday months ago, hasn't
even read the fourth one yet as "it looks huge"...  I'm debating whether he
should be allowed to watch the film.>>>

These troublesome 22 year old ;)


Ben: <<<-Ben. In search of apples.>>>

Hope you found some.


Neil: <<<Wasn't it stablemate The Mail on Sunday that secured an
embarrassing interview with JKR's Portuguese ex-husband?">>>
Al: <<<I don't recall hearing that one.>>>

Yep that was the Mail.


Al: <<<But wasn't it the Mail who got hold of trailer stills that had been
available online for about 2 weeks, promptly labelled them an 'EXCLUSIVE'
and then proceeded to tell the nation that Professor Flitwick was in fact
Albus Dumbledore.

Or was that the Sun?>>>

The Sun did that great piece of journalism.



I am currently in pain. The New Forest did not agree with me too well. Or
more correctly I was not entirely pleased when I found a hidden ditch and
fell partly in it and in doing so injuring my ankle (fortunately not
badly).
