Just a few ideas from a hardly-ever-posting poster:
31. Sell it on Ebay in a couple of months. Use proceeds to buy house
in central London.
32. Compare with results of "infinite number of monkeys with infinite
number of typewriters" experiment. (Apparently this is how Nancy
Stouffer writes her books - just kidding.)
33. Take weekend off work to read it. (I've already booked the time
off. Boss is less than joyful.)
34. Place multiple copies strategically about house (on ropes, in
piles near doors, attached to light switch pulls, etc) in order to
trap/injure any would-be burglars, bungling yet weirdly loveable, who
may attempt to break into your house over the Christmas period. (I
hope Chris Columbus isn't reading this. The movies are Macauley'd up
enough as it is.) Ahem.
35. If you are a short Charms professor, stand on copies in order to
see clearly over desk.
36. Papier mache.
37. Er... origami?
38. Er...
39. That's it.
40. Oh, you could read it again, I suppose.
On another note: As far as I'm aware, all of Cornwall has Plymouth
postcodes (which start PL), even though Plymouth is pretty small,
because nowhere in Cornwall is big enough to warrant getting its own
postcode. Plymouth, by the way, is in Devon, not Cornwall.
Oh, and once a postcard made it to my Dad, despite being addressed
to "Neil, Snooty Towers, Big house, Corner of the road off Mutley
Plain, Cornwall, PL4". That would be in Plymouth, then. Daaah!
Thanks for listening to my babbling,
