NEW correction

Have just amended a sentence regarding Borth Bridge. The use of "Borth Bridge" in the books is not a reference to the "Forth Bridge" - it's a reference to the real Pont Borth, which is the Welsh name for "Menai Bridge" in North Wales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tregaron (talk • contribs) 11:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just in the process of reading these novels for the 1st time; not got through them all yet, but will have soon. Anyway, spotted a couple of errors in the article, based only on what I've read so far (mon amour, and 1/2 of last tango):

Louie and Llunos didn't 'fail' to stop the bombing in Mon Amour. Well, they did, but the failure was deliberate. It's not specified in Mon Amour, but early on in Last Tango there's a scene with a flashback where Louie and Llunos deliberately withheld from stopping the bomb drop.
The bombing attack at Rio Ceiriog wasn't a 'dambuster' style; the Lancaster bomber used had been acquired from 617 squadron, but the attack itself wasn't on a dam, nor did it involve water. The attack on the Nant y Moch dam, on the other hand, WAS dambuster style.

In the dramatis personae, I wonder if it's worth mentioning Dai the Custard Pie? In Mon Amour, he has a fairly small part, but there's the scene in Last Tango where Louie goes to see him in prison which is redolent of Silence of the Lambs, with Dai taking the Hannibal Lector role. As I say, not read the whole series yet, so I don't know if that's a one-off and therefore unimportant.

Apart from all that, it looks a good article to me - catches the memes and themes of the novels well. Good job on the part of the editors. Carre 19:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I will get around to editing this profile and make it worthy of the books. At the mo the stories sound duller than gas·tro-oe·soph·a·ge·al problems after a Saturday at your local curry and lager emporium. For now though just read the books they will make your life better. - Richard Edwards 01:20, 14 May 2007 80.47.103.237
