BG> anything by Burroughs, Verne, or H G Wells is eminently
 BG> readable, as they all had wonderfully prosaic styles.

 BG> I was actually quite serious, and was just about to tell you to

 BG> And bugger me, it has an alternative meaning...

 Prosaic adj. 1. commonplace or dull, matter-of-fact or unimaginative.
              2. having the character or spirit of prose as opposed to
                 poetry, as verse or writing.

  I still think you were having a sly go at Paul.

Regards,
Bob
