Spot on sd,that was the year.

One day is generous Silver,but I thought I'd stumped the masters when they hadn't replied in the usual 12 hour timespan:)

shoulda known better....

No mastery here. Just a little research. The trick is finding where to look. Which in this case was Billy's Oak.

How did Jeremy keep an eye on Angela?

It's been a long while since I read it,but when he's in the control room?? He can see everything in his crystal ball type thingy,oh dear.....

Something like that anyway,at work now can't put my hand on it.

Ah yes,the years haven't been kind to my memory banks...lol:confused:

Since you read what? Lets see if you have the right story.

House of doors.....and now it's after dawning on me that it's wrong,it's Bannerman I'm thinking of and his first name wasn't jeremy....

I'm going to sit on the bold step:(

(walks away with head hanging in shame)

I'll be back though..

Ok ,I'm back from the bold step.......

Still lost though:confused:

There's actually two clues in the question.

This would be the guy with the glass eye

This would be the guy with the glass eye

 

Close enough.

I forgot I was supposed to find a question by the time I got home last night, sorry guys! I'll have one for you tomorrow - if I can remember!

Looks like she forgot,:(must be in love or something:D

I certainly have not forgotten! I've just been really, really busy - sorry.

 

So here it is, please can someone tell me what Gordon Sellick did before he retired?

The name seems familiar but I can't place it.

If you can't place it then a clue must be needed.

 

He and his neighbour uesd to enjoy their gardens

Must be from a Crow story??

I thought she was refering to the short the man who killed cue gardens or some such obscure story if there is such a beastie!

 

(not sure if I dreamed that title up or if it is even a Brian short story, I don't have it anyway)

It a short. It from Delirium Books Dark Homage series. It's spelled Kew.

and to answer the question...a retire army colonel.

Well done sdkdmd you got it, with a little help from Helm who was very much on the right lines!

Who are Amyr and Ulli

Off the top of my head are they the last of the Shum-yi?

Yes Mrs Silver

 

Did you know that Mrs. was originally, like Miss, an abbreviation of mistress. Mrs. and mistress were at first used interchangeably in all contexts.

Did you know John that bore is an abbreviation of boring, and in times past has been used to describe one and the same.........I think you know where I'm going with this and what's coming next, don't you John?.........Oh yes, your a bloody boring, boring old bore my friend...
