Don’t buy a blue car. (June)

2016 was the official year that the father of Thursday Next gave her some advice (see our previous post), namely to stay away from Oxford, but he also gave a few other notes.

Never buy a blue car

Never buy a paddling pool

Stay away from oysters and circular saws.

He also very clearly warned against being near Oxford in June 2016. It’s past that now, but with the nature of time travel being inherently prone to risks… do you really want to chance it?

Stay away from Oxford

At the end of The Eyre Affair, literary detective Thursday Next's time-traveling dad has some words of advice for the future.  "Never buy a blue car or a paddling pool, stay away from oysters and circular saws, and don't be near Oxford in June 2016. Got it?"

What is due to happen in Oxford this month? No idea. But the book was originally published in America in 2002 so it bears some watching. I would also point out to you fictional almanackers that there are Oxfords all over the world. Be on alert.

How to Commemorate:
For the love of God, just stay away from Oxford!
