i thoroughly enjoy reading that book Irb, i honestly wasn't aware at the time of reading that it was anything to do with Thunderbirds, which was on every Saturday morning back then. International Rescue is mentioned in it several times of course, but my 8 year old brain didn't make the connection.
But it's enjoyable to read, i wouldn't mind seeing if i could get hold of some more 3nodding

well..i have a Lady Penelope book, which my Mum brought home for me when i was of school poorly once, it's a first edition i think eek there's only one date in it 1966.
Anyway, in this tale someone steals one of the paintings from Lady Penelope's home, and she gets kidnapped and imprisoned in the tower of an old Scottish Hoose, Parker climbs up the outside wall using suction pads on his knees to rescue her 3nodding


an old Scottish hoose lol

suction pads eh? bet they just turned the camera on its side... 3nodding

Aw Geo..it's probably not worth it, i thought more of them would like it over here, but maybe i was wrong cry
i did send that slightly whiny/nagging email out a month or so back didn't i, and it had little effect, so i shall shut up moaning at them now rolleyes

I don't mind the guild forum but it seems every time I have to leave it for whatever reason, and then come back, I find it hard to actually find it again as they seem to have altered the layout. Plus, it seems to take ages to actually get here whereas I can open, reply and send an AOL email in 30 secs.

What sort of book was it? A story book or a comic strip book? The Lady P comic strip was reprinted in a book about 4 years ago.

I like the idea of using Jaffa Cakes in the title--even just calling it that!

arrow They're yummy & fun
arrow They're colorful (the packages, anyway) & in many flavors
arrow Any UK Gaians would recognise the reference at once, yes?

that's very true, really i'm in no rush though. what i would really like though is a fun name, something that takes the mick a little bit maybe but still gets the point across, which a lot of your suggestions have done.
i'm glad i don't have to do this for a living. having said that though, how many times have you seen an advertising slogan and thought question talk2hand and known full well that you could have come up with something better in your sleep rolleyes

Definitely... I hate those stupid newspaper headlines as well, the ones that think they're so smart(a**) by being full of innuendo and double meanings... stare mad
