Oh yes they do! I took delivery* of another five today and have whittled down the list of books that went into a skip during Operation Apocalypse to 57. The number of Gots has thus risen to 450, which creates another problem. The master list that I have details the title, author, publisher and date of each book and comes to 9 pages long. Consequently I have a two-column version that only has the title, is in a smaller font and fits onto three pages, but this is now well out of date and I'll need to do another, copying from the master list. This isn't mere whimsy, I need this list when out shopping so I don't duplicate anything.

I have discovered that my Nook, the very antithesis of the article above, does not cope well if it's charge is low; much to my annoyance it misbehaved about a quarter of the way into "The Lost Worlds of 2001". Shortly before pounding it to bits with a hammer**, I tried charging the battery - hey pesto, Basil! Back to normal.

Apothecary
My word for today. Impressive, is it not? No, it is not an extinct species of camel. No, it is not a Saxon swear word, and it has nothing to do with teeth; although you may feel free to exclaim "Apothecary!" the next time you cut yourself putting up the barbed wire.
No, an apothecary filled the role now performed by the much-humbler named "chemist" - or pharmacist, which sounds more weighty.

A Quote for you
"Monsters, John! Monsters from the Id!"
It's a science-fiction film and one of my favourites ever. This narrows the field a bit, but <titter> I'm not going to tell you which one until tomorrow! Maybe even Monday, I'm a bit cruel like that.
