Well, Dolby is a legitimate surname. Probably the estate of some parishner named Thomas Dolby who died in the early 20th century had the altar made for their church. That would make a pretty bitching desk. Needs a little restoration work on the surface. Heck, that would make a pretty cool desk for Thomas himself. Not too many of us have desks dedicated to our own memory.

" It's probably referring to the writer Thomas Dolby (1782-1856) who compiled the Shakespeare dictionary, among other things. It's a gorgeous desk, and with that brass plate on it..! I wish I had a couple thousand dollars to spend. xx ~robin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2004 18:48:25 +0000 From: Peter Adams Subject: Re: Alloy: TMDR fanfic On Friday 06 Feb 2004 5:03 pm, Robin Thurlow wrote: > We already have Crackers' dream of Thomas abandoning civilization & going > of to live with the Sasquatch.. I think that counts as fanfic! Though i > think this needs to be illustrated. Fiction, yes. Because that's all it is. Can't do that in reality. Oh I'd love to escape that way, but it won't work. It's not doable. Who the hell could live with a Sasquatch... i mean. think of the hair you'd have to clean out of the shower every day? Do you think a creature that has lived in the forest alone all these years is going to clean out it's own hair clog? The relationship would fall apart after a week I guarantee it. - -- Peter ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V9 #18 **************************
