blyton's 'return'

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've got to say, that makes a compelling case for why children should not be exposed to them :innocent:

On the other hand, I read them too, she and Roald Dahl are probably 90% responsible for my literacy (oh and Roger Hargreaves :lol: :oops: )... and look at me I turned out alright :P

Quoth Wiki:

"In modern reprints, the character of Dame Slap has been re-named to Dame Snap and she no longer practises corporal punishment but instead reprimands her students by yelling at them very loudly."

And Fanny has become Frannie. What a load of arse :(

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
