I'm a third of the way through the Name of the Wind too! First book with maps I've read in years. So far, none of the places mentioned appear on the map. Congratulations on losing your Rothfuss virginity <blushing bride emoji> I'mm so jealous of you right now. I read both books in about 4 days. Ever since then I have bitterly regretted there were no more. It's the best sort of map. Utterly baffling and most of the action takes place in places not marked on it. Also there are differences in distance between places in the book and how far apart they appear to be on the map. |

The one thing I have learned from this whole Coronavirus thing is that kids are crap at painting rainbows That's because there's more than one to choose from to copy; Rainbow - First Blood part 1 Rainbow - First Blood part 2 Rainbow 3 Rainbow (4) Rainbow Last Blood somewhere over the Rambo! OTTM: I have just sat through all 8+ hours of 'Together at Home' on YouTube (3.8*), with intermittent Chatterbox breaks. It felt like an episode of 'I'm a celebrity' in a post apocalyptic society for the most part, running competitions include - who can be the kindest towards health care without breaking the plastic smile, face. (I wonder if it's surgically implanted). |

I know it's best not to shout and swear, but the 12y-o boy needs to learn.

Just watched the RTD adaptation of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" and it was totally splendid. 4*

I knew this already. Listen my friend, I know you probably mean it jest but if you are the preferred father then they are yours. You are the one (other than your significant other) who sees to their needs, food clothing education and so on. and if that means you have to draw crap rainbows just to please them then so be it - look at van Gogh, he ain't all that, I mean he had to be dead before anyone paid attention! Ps: The highest price paid for a van Gogh at auction was the $82.5 million paid in 1990 for his Portrait of Dr. Gachet! -Sothebys. |

There is no malice intended in what I said. I pay attention to comments made and how they are made. I understand that Shenguin likes a good scathing vibe and is most likely a very good father, considering the role he has taken on board. Ps - I grew up in the Welfare Institute from 3 years old and was past around from 18 months old due my mothers mental instability and my father suffering PTSD after Aden - 1955-59(he was a wounded Royal Marine LC). I won't say any more on the matter. End |

Didn’t Zippy, George and Bungle teach you anything? Apart from how to play with your twangers?
