Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I thought it was out of play somehow. Right. So I can read it then contribute to the discussion. Nice.

FWIW Tim Dorsey died late last year, aged 62.

Surrey Libraries do not have a copy but have instead offered me 'Kids Fight Plastic' by Martin Dorey which features illustrations by Tim Wesson. The blurb reads:
"Have you got 2 minutes? That's all the time it takes to become a `2minutesuperhero. Plastic is everywhere. It is in the rivers and it is in the sea. We need superheroes to fight plastic and help save our oceans. Read this essential book and find out how you can become a `2minutesuperhero by completing 50 missions to fight plastic at home, school and on your days out."

Does that mean we can do Revenger instead?

The galaxy has seen great empires rise and fall. Planets have shattered and been remade. Amongst the ruins of alien civilizations, building our own from the rubble, humanity still thrives.

And there are vast fortunes to be made, if you know where to find them.

“Another kind of wind, raging out of the Old Sun all the while, but it slips through the hull and the photon sails like they aren’t there at all. Dark-wind, some call it. Or ghost-wind or shadow-wind.”
