Going anywhere nice?

While London is proving to be a lovely place to spend the summer, it is also the season of lovely trips near and far.

What are the destinations that you would share with fellow Fossils and what places are you curious about?

As you can tell, we had a ball on the Med a year or so back and we are toying with the idea of Montenegro... What do you reckon?

Which five novels...?

Which five novels since 1980 would you choose?

Right then folks, I've got a literary conundrum for you. Which five novels written since 1980 would you choose as the most representative of English fiction in the UK? They need to be expressive of a certain moment in time, say something about literary fashion and more broadly about what's going on in the country. Also, they need to appeal to 20 year olds, say, and be manageable over 11 weeks. Can you see where I'm going with this?

Here's my choice.

Welcome to The Fossil

Welcome to The Fossil. Here is the place for you to post your favourite things, comment on those of other people and thus to lay down an ever-growing sediment of digital joy! Past glories, future plans, current pleasures. Tips on ace nights out, bars you like, places to avoid. Meetings to go to, campaigns to join, lectures to attend about ancient Roman cups (we went, it was brilliant!). I am sure that such a thing would be of great benefit.
For example, here's some nice times we had together recently. Also, click on Zoe's link on the right-hand side! Then read Zoe's comment at the bottom of this post. By the way, if you follow the National Statistics Online link, click 'Neighbourhood' at the top of the page, add your postcode on the right-hand side, and on the next page click 'Deprivation', you can find out whether your opinion about where you live is justified or just plain wrong.
