SPACE CADETS - STARRING The BASH STREET KIDS...

Images copyright D.C .THOMSON & Co., Ltd

The above book is one a friend obtained from a charity shop recently for a pound or two.  He then discovered he already had a copy (also obtained from a charity shop) so he passed it on to me.  If you don't have this collectors' item classic in your possession, I'd heartily advise that you try and track one down as it's an absolute hoot - very, very funny indeed.  I'd show you more pages, but I don't want to spoil the thrill of enjoyment you'll experience when you sit down to read your own copy for yourselves.

Can't find a copyright date within, so I don't know the year it was published.  Never mind though - if you're determined enough, I'm sure you'll be able to find one on eBay (or even a charity shop) in no time.  Well, what're you waiting for?  Get hunting!

BEHIND THE LOOKING GLASS...

Have you ever looked into a mirror and wondered if the many images reflected in its surface over the years might've been captured and preserved within its atoms in some way, like that of a camera?  Just imagine being able to access those images and once more being able to see the faces of expired family members or even those who owned the mirror before you.  Or yourself as a child, sticking out your tongue at your reflection as you combed your hair before making your way to school in the morning many years before.

Every mirror in existence a repository of snapshots - like a photograph album - of moments from the lives of every individual who ever gazed into one.  Far-fetched perhaps, but interesting to consider nonetheless.  So, tell me - have you ever wondered?
