Just in time . . .
. . . to solve all those troubling last-minute Christmas gift-idea-lacks. Chiquitar sent me this link a fortnight ago and I would like to say that I’d saved it till now for maximum impact* but the truth is I lost it.**
I love it that the actual working bit is just right out there like the All Stars with the velvet gown***, and that the commentary doesn’t know how seriously to take it. Hint: some of my best friends are 60-year-old secretaries who like chunky jewelry, and I’m giving them copies of The Graveyard Book or The Bell at Sealey Head or House of Many Ways for Christmas.

** My email is like that. Yes, it’s still like that.^ However, come 1 January or so I’m going to ask everyone who hasn’t yet had their klutz klub membership card to re-email me, and we’ll try again.
^ Its latest cunning wheeze is that if it doesn’t like someone, it draws a line through them and then redownloads them with a {SPAM} warning. I think it’s just jealous of the real spam filter. However, I seem to be getting most of my email . . . at the moment, she says, glancing around nervously.
*** I have, actually, since you ask
