Urban Chick said...: i'm tempted to type ROTFLMAO even though i have never done this IRL (as it were)

but i wanted to convey, somehow, just how amused i was by this post (not doing so well so far)

LOL

[i like to think that amy jenkins tells a similar tale of when my friend and i were queuing for a coffee in the trafalgar square branch of waterstones saying how we had heard how rubbish her latest book was and what a shame after 'this life' and wotnot and then 'ooh, look there's a pile of them there!' then my friend whispered 'and there's amy say behind the pile']

gosh, i've rambled
