Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
Good read.Many years ago I read a series of books by Stephen R Donaldson about Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. I had to keep a dictionary beside me and would have to use it at least 3 times per page at least in the first book.
Always good to expand one's vocabulary.
Despite what many think - this is a core function of BF - moving forward the bottom line is that BF is a tool for life long learning
OMG, I have never wanted to kick a character up the behind in my entire life.

I wonder if furphy was mostly used in Victoria?

Yes, at least the first two trilogies.
We did our first kids built in over 3 days with all the argument breaks. I was banned from the second one apart from lifting the glass panel doors onto it. I won in my eyes
Just out of curiosity, how long did the second one take?
Less time. I base this on all the valuable lessons I provided during the first one.
Thought so
My son reckons if there's screws, bolts etc leftover or something won't fit into some space or cavity get a stronger tool and make it go in - it makes for a more robust item
IKEA stands for I Knew Everything Already when it comes to me studying the instructions. The missus gets all the parts and fasteners laid out to make sure everything is there, reads the instructions out as weāre going including the front page and contents. By this point the dickhead in me takes over and I just start winging it 5 steps ahead of her Ian Chappell like guidance and this is swiftly met with abuse and removal from the work area
I was more weirded out about what happened to Lena. I got the book recommended to me as a 16 year old. I wouldn't recommend it myself.Not sure I had the same reaction
Yep. Fridge, couch, big TV, sliding door outside exit for efficient wee breaks during play. Even got a spare bed down there in the corner. I get told constantly āYou might as well just live down hereā. I got excited the first time because I thought she was guna let me
I got hooked on that trilogy (?) of books too GW. Thomas Covenant Urlord and White Gold Wielder. What an amazing imagination! They should have made a TV series from it.Many years ago I read a series of books by Stephen R Donaldson about Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever.

There are two trilogies and one quadrilogy (?) to finish it off.
