How come you missed A Random last time? This is a typical example - hit the button and you get:

'In reply to the previous message, I would like to complain to the webmaster. In Peter Duck, page 75, Bridget says, -
'No one would have believed, in the last seconds of low water, that Prue in a squashy hat was being watched from the lighthouse tree'.
To which Mr Farland replies, -
'Every year. For ever and ever' .
This shows that the Starship Enterprise is clearly a four-masted Laser and that Cook will marry Timothy. This is typical of Ransome's genius. When I was a boy scout living in Shanghai we used to use pemmican to mouse our copies of SA.
Perhaps, Ed, you could do a search for 'pike' and prove I am right.'

Oh dear! You either find this hilarious or you don't. I fear that it is related to British 'Goon Show' humour. To be fair, it is better when actually in operation. I await Ian's decision.
