    I have W H Audens 1945 edition kicking about somewhere. It's a bit Rat eared and has a Library stamp and cardholder glued inside it.
    Just had a quick look through the boxes of books behind me, but there are too many.
    I bought it from a Library disposal sale along with a load of mechanical engineering and carpentry books

        Two tables.

        One is pure "who posted most to TPD".

        The drivel% table was in response to those people who criticise TPDers who do not post much elsewhere. There was lots of bitterness from people in General who get hung up about post counts rather than seeing them as personal matters. They particularly targeted people who drivel lots but do not 'contribute' elsewhere.

        I knocked up a spreadsheet and was amazed to discover who the worst offender was.

        But then, given that 'contribute elsewhere' consists mostly of "No. Next." and "Find out for yourself, newbie", a low drivel% isn't necessarily a sign of grown up behaviour either.

        Based on non-TPD posts, I am ranked at least 160th. Above unknowns such as:
        Nixon Williams
        Captain Jack
        Wilmslow
        RandyW
        Bumfluff
        Darren@UptonAccountants
        ferret
        simonsjdaccountancy

        Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

          Found it.
          It also has a coffee ring on the cover and water staining through the page edges. Not exactly a collectors item then
