To the Np, who avoided the chokey by being a lowly informer, Miss Trunchbull will always be a most formidable female.

[Asmodean]

True-ish, although eating children would have pleased The Asmo more and what's with the fear of ghosts of all things? You can walk right through the damned things, or so The Asmo is told.

In any case, it's Roald Dahl, who's being busily censored in the more emotionaly-fragile circles of the anglosphere, and  I am firmly of the opinion that whatever it is they try to spray-tag the current year all over, we need more of, so... Go headmistress!

TNP has suffered from sleep paralysis?

[Anne D.]

True. It usually happens when I nap during the day but sometimes happens at night. I'd rather have that than be a sleepwalker, though.
