Peter Wrote:Thank you both. Ken, as a small business man (garage owner) myself I know exactly what you mean but it was very well put. Maggers, I was just taken aback at how strongly you felt, and they Italians are emotional!
Over here pissed usually means drunk (as in when I get drunk I get DRUNK!), interesting thought, Maggers dancing on tables?
Oh Lancias, if youre interested I have two Thema turbos, both somewhat tuned but one more than the other. Terrific cars if you can maintain them yourself but too expensive to keep going otherwise. The year before last I did 123 miles through France in exactly one hour, in the slower one of the two and my passenger slept the whole time! Havent enjoyed myself so much since the first time I
Oh, the keyboard seems to have packed up. Oh well.

Maggers Wrote:I hate to say it Mike, but I'm boycotting your store. Since they revamped the first floor and now have only one measily stand with fewer than a handful of what you now call "mass market paperbacks," I refuse to shop there. I want the freedom of running in and out of the first floor with the very convenient pocketbook-sized (so named because they fit in your pocket) paperbacks readily available. The new layout on your first floor is overflowing with the more expensive "trade paperback" books. They cost easily $5 more than pocketbooks. I don't want that size. Give me my now seemingly old-fashioned pocketbooks.
I generally don't have time to schlep to the 2nd floor to see what's hot in new paperbacks, so I'm shopping elsewhere. It's a shame. The old layout of the first floor B&N at Lincoln Center was great. They took a good thing and made it bad, IMO.

If you're still boycotting and blockading B&N Lincoln Triangle (history will ask if you even =tried= to get a Security Council consensus), does that mean I can't reserve your front row seat for you on June 1st when Paul will be there to greet his loyal fans? If so, I'll give him your best regards, and try to explain that for wonderful Maggers, principle comes first!I'll be there to see Paul again and introduce a couple of friends.

Peter Wrote:Just wish I could be there too, if only to see you two fight about the stairs! Sorry Maggers, you know I love you but, well, stairs? Still cant quite get my head round that one....I believe the issue was TIME, not STAIRS.
