Someone was shouting on about 'Only Nazis burn books' at a SWP do, to which I replied 'I just burned a copy of 'Mein Kampf'. Whilst I thought this was funny, it almost ended up in a fight.

Finally, glad you agree with me about Microsoft Access 2003 For Dummies. Reading between the lines, but you didn't query that choice so assuming you found it equally as poor as I did. I still don't know how to create a cross table query. BoomTish!

Oddly MS Access 2003 is more erotic that 50 Shades of Boring. If you want good BDSM novels, Ashiling Morgan's smut books in the Nexus series are much better, especially the Fantasy line.

I think it's because I liked Roald Dahl and a guy called David Williams decided to rip it all off, whilst strutting about with his really unoriginal psuedonym. But I will concede, if kids like them then I shall retract that, they aren't really ruining my life. Regarding 50 Shades, I've heard they are SO good that middle aged women don't need a man afterwards because the book alone was enough to de-foam their lower regions. Finally, glad you agree with me about Microsoft Access 2003 For Dummies. Reading between the lines, but you didn't query that choice so assuming you found it equally as poor as I did. I still don't know how to create a cross table query. Plenty of authors try and rip of Roald Dahl but few do it as well as he does. Anything that can happily convince my 9 year old daughter to read a 600 page book can't be all bad. No objection to MS Access 2003 for Dummies. I'm pretty sure I'm living proof it should be done under the Trades Descriptions Act. Now the infinitely superior follow-up Access 2007 for Dummies on the other hand was a literary masterpiece.

My concern is that we ought not let dummies anywhere near anything that the "For Dummies" series has ever covered, other than possibly "Yoga for Dummies". I kinda don't care if a dummy breaks their back trying to kiss themselves on the brown chakra. But yeah, stay well away from MS Access. I am living proof of that.
