I seen some thangs.
One wonders what I would have to do to become an "invalid" Amazon Prime member.
I had from time to time wondered what this weird creature is on the Enfield council logo. I am quite pleased to discover that it is in fact an enfield.
I was about to say hey, he pops up again in series 5... then I realised with some surprise that this is actually Pertwee doing a sort of Troughton impression!
On the subject of translations, I don't think the professionals need to be too fearful just yet:
So one wonders where the "Tintin and the Broken Ear" image came from. Wikipedia baldly states that the book was "originally published in English as Tintin and the Broken Ear", but this is clearly wrong as my 1975 copy is the first translated edition, and the longer name appears nowhere except on its spine.
That copy also shows the correct image on the back (in last place) – but the 1989 paperback uses the "Tintin and the Broken Ear" image even though it doesn't match its own front cover!
