I'm a huge fan of Bette Midler (that explains my four copies of A view from a broad). I love history, especially the middle ages (preferably early middle ages). I also knit, cross stitch (working on a replica of The Lady and The Unicorn: A Mon Seul Desir now), crochet amigurumi and game (Nintendo DS and Wii).

Heb jij Karen Maitland - Het gezelschap van leugenaars gelezen? 1348, pestilentie, engeland.

Re your query regarding 'Jaguars & Electric Eels'. No,this is merely an abridgment (as are all of this excellent series) If you do a search of Googlebooks,they have a fuller (I'm not sure if they give the complete book - doubtful -but certainly a fuller account at any rate. You could also try Project Gutenburgh who may have the fuller text.
Hope this is of help.

I've just been having a wee look in your library and see that the Name of the Rose is in your next 5 to read. I finally read it last year - it'd been on the shelf for over 10 years - and really, really loved it. I haven't managed to read anything else by Eco yet though.
Also just went to a map of the Netherlands to see where Hoorn is... I've been to Amsterdam a couple of times because good friends were living there - a lovely city. Last time, in 2002, they drove us over the dyke between Lelystad and Enkhuizen, which looks pretty close to you!
Right, better go and read a book or something. Hope you like the 75 BC group - there are tons of nice people in it.

No problemo! One of the dubious advantages of being a South African of "a certain age" is that we all had to learn Afrikaans at school, and I don't find the conversion to reading Dutch all that difficult. In fact, two years ago when I had the pleasure of visiting your country (Wageningen, Harderwijk, Schovenhorst, Hoge Veluwe, Baarn, Utrecht) I even found I could converse with some of the locals in a strange hybrid Afrikaans/Dutch/accent-without-a-trace-of-either! So bigh thankyous for those sites, which I shall certainly pass on to the others on the committee.
Would you accept a virtual long-distance hug an an expression of gratitude? If so, ((((hugs))))

You are an angel straight from heaven, and I shall call on your help in as much detail and at as great a length as you let me! Yes I do need all the help I can get. The score at the moment is that Busifer needs to locate a friend who's away on holiday right now, so things are stalled for a couple of weeks there. But I mentioned it to the others (International Code for Botanical Nomenclature, Special Committee on Electronic Publication if you want to know) and they want a document to refer to in the discussions we'll be having over the next 2 years. So I'm now thinking I should come to you cap-in-hand when I have something, and ask for your take on it before posting idiocy and nonsense.
The basic problem is that on the one hand, the cost of academic publication as ink-on-paper is astronomical, so more and more journals are going electronic. On the other, the old-men-in-suits (of both genders and all ages, actually) who vote on changes to the code have not as yet had the courage to face up to the problem, and hide behind the mantra that e-publication is ephemeral, and will be unreadable in decades when original descriptions of new species (etc.) need to be readable for ever. Which is not totally untrue, but omits to note the number of cases where all copies of a paper publication have been destroyed over the last 250 years.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again a million times over for your kind offer, which is much appreciated.
All best
Hugh
