It does occur to me that my stories are really written for children, and are not going to be everybody's cup of tea. Curiously, I find women tend to prefer a lot of this stuff to men. My own theory is that men's brains tend to ossify earlier then women's, and more comprehensively. (This is meant as a general comment, not directed at you, Bill!) Perhaps we need a separate section for yarns for children.

Hear that blokes? The doctor says you ossify much earlier than we women. 8-)

Maybe a section for women and children and another for men Stephen? That should fix it. ;)

Heather :)

When I talk about ossification of the brain, I don't mean that as a negative thing in any way. It just a simple replacement of brain by bone, that's all. It generally takes one of three forms. The first sees bone being laid down around the surface of the brain in concentric layers. The second sees long spicules of bone penetrating the brain from the skull in all directions. Eventually these thicken and branch out, until all the brain is obliterated. The third pattern sees small islands of bone develop deep with the brain tissue. Layers of bone continued to be laid down on the surface of these until, once again, they grow, join up, and replace all of the brain. In its most extreme form, this condition appears to express itself most consistently as a passion for rugby league.

Or at its worse it could emerge as an uncontrolable urge to write long and meaningless stories in reverse about fictional holidays.
