Anybody got an attic full of old books

[Laurence]

If anybody has some old books to sell contact me and I will give you a price, or my wife will to be more precise.

I don't want encyclopedia's  or modern fiction. If the authors name is bigger than the title.

I've got a first issue of "The little pot boiler". Will you sign it for me?

I've got a plie of 'Razzle's' under my bed?!

I once went to the Doctor because I felt something sticking out of my back.

 

He said, "My,My! Youv'e got a tick and I will have to give you an injection to prevent Lime disease."

 

I replied " But Doctor but I was not under any tree, only in the attic, and now I am under stress not trees "

 

" Och", he says, "that explains it, you had an attic of asthma and went to a cool , dry place. Where was the attic into which you entered?" 

 

"Just round the corner from Laurence's Southern Scottish abode" I replied.

 

"Did you go there by public transport or in your atticulated vehicle " he replies.

 

"Neither, just walked it so that my hair could be tick-led by the local zephyrs blowing in from the sea, don't  you know"

.

"Atta boy, I see you have the right spirit. The tick must have emanated from Laurence's dusty tomes then?  Well, you're all done and good luck with the Tick, Dick."

 

"Uh uh! Doc," I quipped. "I'm from Canada on holiday and I think, from your tone,  you meant dick-head.... eh?"

 

"Precisely, because you certainly have taken up a dick-ens of my time so your Boeing 747 leaves in 30 minutes...eh?

And now I'm going down to the Caley park to  get some sanity back into my life. Have a nice flight Canada Goose --or is it Donald Dick.?"

 

"Neither I retorted " I'm a little, lively, lesser loon, living a lonely life longing for love on a lovely large lake near Toronto, Ont. on a large estate owned by a fella named Scotty. Got some nice chicks there though..........

I  recently found a football programme in a box of books I bought.

 

Scotland v Bulgaria it was a warm up friendly before the Scotland team's campaign in the FIFA world cup in the Argentine,

 

Dated February 22nd 1978  Hampden Park Glasgow

 

I don't really deal in football programmes so if anybody would like it I can leave it for them in the supporter's bar , or anywhere else for that matter before the St. Mirren game.  Free and gratis.

My sister moved into a house last year and went up into the attic only to find a fully kitted out cannabis farm. The neighbours did say that the previous occupiers had an awful lot of visitors.

 

She hasn't come down yet.

[Scarlet Pimple]

Oh sorry Yngwie I read it the first time as  a kilted not kitted.

 

And so  I fully understood why she wouldn't come downstairs,     right away anyway.

You are the man and I will if I can.

 

I've placed a shortcut on my desktop and will no doubt get around to it soon.

 

Thank you for the reference.

Old Bibles???

[Laurence]

 To Alex MacLeod

At the moment I have some very  rare old bibles , I can't move on

When I was in my Sussex book shop I did have a couple of contacts and I managed to sell to sell them on

I appreciate your interest but I really am not at this time able to take any more. Next time I go down to Brighton I will try to locate my previous contacts; if successful I will come back to you. The bibles  people are interested in are ones with brass hinges and clamps, usually  early protestant, around the turn of the 17th 18th century, ( or earlier ). 

Very early common prayer books before Queen Victoria I can sell to the same source, but as I said, I have lost contact with the people I knew some time back.
