Pest control was funny!!!

Those sound quite amusing Booger
I will definately have to keep them in mind...

In one of Iain Banks' sci-fi books, there is a weapon called the Lazy Gun. You point it at anything, pull the trigger, and it calculates the odds, and finds the least likely way to destroy, said person or thing, and boom. Makes for some amusing descriptions of destruction. He's got a pretty incredible imagination.

The wasp Factory is quite something (Banks again, fiction). On the Back cover, it says.... 'I've only killed three people in my life, ... I don't think I'll kill anyone else. Maybe it was a phase I was going through

This thread has just reminded me to get reading again. Since passing my driving test I haven't read a singel thing because I've not got all those bus journeys where I get addicted to whatever book I'm reading at the time... The books you guys have mentioned just went into my "to read" pile.

Terry Pratchett is, well, unique. :) It took me awhile to get the hang of the books.
