By St Marlowe
July 9 2009

While we wait for OldPete to cogitate on his next spasm, here are few questions focused on writers of one sort or another.

Scribblers, Hacks and Authors
 
Name and Title please

  • This person will support your quest for good manners
 
  • On the square, his observer is getting warmer

  • A friend of Eiffion, his title is set to make a comeback
 
  • Not the antibiotic one, but his fortune came in a Prime binding
 
  • Gradually tightening the legume,  the eighth spectrum hue invokes supernatural powers

I am at work - why else would I be up at 7am? Title would be "The Colour of Magic". Shows I wasn't awake enough to read the question properly...

No.4: Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin but as it's not him is the author Ian Fleming? If it is, then the book will be one of the James Bond novels - so I'll go for Goldfinger.

I like the thought of being supported by Ms Truss (Mr Truss would have been for another taste altogether).
