Well, when it is midnight there, you can ponder on the wisdom of Edith Clunt, can't you.

Remember, patience brings power, as the Mongolians say.

I have just Googled Enid ' what's her name 'and she doesn't actually exist. She must be a fig leaf of your imagination.

Don't fret...many of us here have imaginary friends.

YOU ARE ONE OF MINE

Today, tomorrow, yesterday? It's far too early for this. As far as I'm concerned, it's still yesterday because tomorrow hasn't come yet. Today'll come in about 3-4 hours I reckon.

If you google me, you get a racing yachtsman, but I've never raced a yacht.

Goes to show, google ain't always right.

I've been to East Chinnock and the museum's great.

The cycle path through West Coker is very nice too.............

Every time someone says that Edith Clunt doesn't exist, that'a one less person who believes in her. Belief is everything, as Mussolini used to say when he was a member of the avant-garde mime troupe La Micturata, before he became big in Fascism.

I love the way you googled Edith though. Not many googlies in tennis!

Edith Clunt does exist. Lady Godiva has been fooled into thinking otherwise merely because the name of the aforementioned lady does not result from any Google search.

The facts are these:

a) Edith Clunt has employed the services of several internet hackers to seek out and delete all mention of herself from the worldwide web.

b) That is the only fact.

Nobody knows why she has done this, but it's not for us to go prying into the 'whys' and 'wherefores' of her decision. It remains only for us to show respect for them, and to blah blah blah...

Where's Skoob? It's Move #58, and he appears to have done a runner.

Oh yes, Edith Clunt is worthy of respect.

At least one tennis ball museum in Somerset would be the poorer were it not for the likes of Edith Clunt.

Her knowledge of Mongolian philosophy is a household word among the groves of academe, West Country branch.

The post-medieval tennis ball, too, might have lain a-rotting beyond the tram-line of modern knowledge, had it not been for her writings.

What is perhaps less well-known is her work with the giant pygmies of Lafuatua, who live in the trunks of the hollowed-out Nfotorotrotuarurrua tree, which stores fresh water in its limbs. In 1954, Edith Clunt led an expedition.....(cont. on p. 94)

I don't follow tennis so that's probably why the woman evaded me. I'm a hacker, but only when I have a bad cough.
