it was set in Nashville, and the main character wanted to be a C & W singer, she stayed in a cheap boarding house and spotted a golden cockroach, she thought it might be a good omen...someone had accidentally sprayed it with gold paint instead of roach killer.

Did you know you can keep roaches off your bed by putting the legs in tins of petrol ( the bed legs not the roaches' legs.... still, either would work probably!) :-D

strange books you read Rose!!!!

You'r flirtin with danger, young Rose :-D :-D

Ann I was very keen on country music at the time :-)

Nothing new then there John :-)

actually i think I might have to report myself for bad grammar! :-|

'I ONCE read a book that featured a cockroach'

or

'I read a book once that featured a cockroach'

perplexing!

Dont report bad grammar Rose I would never exist lolol ;-)

Just make sure you don't tread on any cockroaches. :-D
No syntax for a week ;-)

be just my luck
i would have a ciggie in bed and burn the house down x

only my own Mersey :-)

no smoking while you are in a cockroach repelling bed!!

Now c'mon Rose. Did you once read the book, read the book once, or what? It's like that Panda going into the restaurant again, isn't it!
Anyway I do wish you'd told me the thing about putting bed legs in cans of petrol, it would've come in handy when we lived in Riyadh.....the cockroaches were that big I used to send them to the kitchen to do the washing up!!! Horrid things.
Hate that crackling noise when you stamp on them :-P

I would leave the once out all together :-D

But grammar and me don't mix too well.. lol

Cockroaches yuck!! we trapped one in a matchbox after our boss assured us that we were imagining that a cockroach could exist 11 floors up in building that was practically hermetically sealed.

Never try to squish a cockroach that knows it's life is threatened, this one produced zillions of live young...quite revolting
