Flying death snakes
Woohoo! Picked up copy of Biggles in the Terai in Oxfam Books! Yeah, it's late, therefore pants, but it promises me 'death from the air from snakes' so I'm waiting for the EVIL FLYING DEATH SNAKES like the snakes with wings in Herodotus which fight with the ibises on the borders of Egypt. (Hdt. II.75, check it out, it's awesome.) Man, Biggles vs. flying death snakes would rock.
(...all right, so it actually promises me 'death from the air, from snakes...' and a number of other forms of death. I can still hope.)
There are a fair number of the Red Fox Biggles editions in Oxfam on St Giles at present - nothing very unusual (a couple of copies of 'The Rescue Flight', 'Goes to War', I think 'Fails to Return'), but just thought I'd let any potentially interested parties on my f-list know ^_^
Have spent much of the day typing up my RLF-handwritten-illegible reading lists for Thucydides essays. Fear.
