Moraine - There are about 2000 odd web pages devoted to Modesty Blaise. This one covers the author, Modesty herself and lists sellers who should hold some books etc -

Bahamut - Pleased to see you liked FF7. Have you ever seen the REAL ending? Not the one directly after finishing the game, there is another that follows Red XIII, it really is nice. It possibly won't have the same impact now if you've put the game away for a long time but it's still worth watching. You need to let the end credits roll, they take about 5 min's to finish and you can't skip them. When they finish you will see the true final ending of FF7.
Ladyzekke - what you said in another thread regarding this forum, the net etc....Amen to that sister.
Oh dear, there I was thinking I got the hang of the net etc (it's new to me) all proud of meself with my hyperlink prowess and new found single finger typing skills.....it don't work...D'oh. Sorry Moraine I think you'll have to copy and paste. I still can't get the hang of this bloody thing.
