Boss?

Nay, I just doubt if a majority would agree with Skeeter that Jeffrey Archer is a superb writer.

In fact, let me re-assess that...I doubt if ANYONE else thinks that Jeffrey Archer is a superb writer.

Now, now, Rachel. You're not one to talk. I had to explain to you what cricket was. 😉



P.S. I'd never heard of her, either.

😛 Second most popular sport in the world, Rachel! Let me know when Martha Stewart can hold a cricket bat correctly and I may take an interest in her.

Not the 2nd most popular sport in America! 😛 Most guys don't take an intrest in her because she runs a show that women watch. And I can name tons of things you don't know!

my middle name
my old lizards name
how many fingers I have
how many fingers a koala has
how old I really am
whether or not I'm adopted

I think I win. 😛

Hang on, hang on. Remember, it was you who expressed enormous surprise when a non-american didn't know who Martha Stuart was! And this is just one lady, now convict (who, by the way, wouldn't be any better known amongst the female population here). Also, I reckon I can take a good guess at most of the items on your list, and a bad one at the rest:


my middle name: Barry
my old lizards name: ….Barry?
how many fingers I have: You don't have the usual amount? 12?
how many fingers a koala has: 4 claws?
how old I really am: 58
whether or not I'm adopted: As I've now pegged you as considerably older than your father, I must say yes.




How did I do?

Actually most people are unaware that a koala actually has three fingers and two thumbs on each hand. I never noticed until I was told, now I can't stop staring at koala paws each time I see one. It looks rather wierd, but obviously they have a need for two thumbs.

Let's up the odds...top 15!
He is not in my top fifteen. He is terrible.

Being a superb writer is not a prerequisite to being a bestseller.
I don't doubt that Archer had a boost in sales after spending some time in the clink, but he was a bestseller as long ago as the 70s.
