Quite. I tend to read in bed. Whilst Tolstoy and Doestoevski would probably have the desired effect of sending me to sleep its not something I want to engage in at that hour of the day after working all day.
My thoughts exactly. A lot of the best books I have read in recent years have been kids books. Philip Pullmans His Dark Materials series is superb. Brighton born author Philip Reeeves Mortal Engines quartet is a great read.
I've never understood the distinction between kids and adult books...
I reckon that's 1/2 that a British golfer doesn't win a major (with 3 left) and Murray doesn't win Wimbeldon. A reasonable bet but hardly value and get rich quick. Still, the best Hamilton bet I've had is 5/6 that he scores more points than Jenson Button this season. Currently he is 38-0 in...
No. I used to go with my dad and there was about 6 of them although the numbers dwindled towards the end of the Goldstone. To the left of us was always a Plymouth fan with ginger hair who always used to moan that 'It was never offside' Then there was you and your lot to the left of him. Quite...
I've had a couple of rows about this recently.
The first was a couple of weeks ago when I was paying for a team night out. A 10% service charge was added to the bill, which, as there was 8 of us was fair enough. Then, when I was paying by card the machine asked if I would like to pay a 2nd...
I've always wondered what the protocol is here. If I went to one of these NSC's meet ups and introuduced myself as 'Hannibal Smith' I would feel a complete choice plum. Then again, If I was to introduce myself as Nik, I'm sure everyone would be wondering who this 6ft lumbering idiot was...

Lokki had it right earlier in this thread. You can guarantee my wife has absolutely NOTHING in her purse when we go anywhere. Consequently, I end up paying for more or less everything as I’m the only one with any cash. I suppose I’m the stupid one but at least I don’t spend half my life standing...
Sorry, I have a bid proposal to get out by 18:00 tonight. :down:
I think I would be shot, killed and sacked if it doesn't happen (especially for playing PFYC).
I'll help next week (or later if were still in). Promise.
Great.
I was sat on 25-1 on that Scoot shite to get Nil points. Interestingly the best price with was Paddy Power. And who gave us the other 7 points? Yep, Ireland.
FIX. And I'm not talking about Eastern Europe.
We've done this debate to death but it was clear at Brighton that CKR had talent but very little application. Warnock has at least made him run which is more than I ever saw him do in the stripes (except one or two rare occasions).
What I do find amusing is that Sheffield United went down by...
I've lumped on Scoot or whatever they are called to get nil points (11-1 with Paddy Power, 25-1 earlier in the week). It’s worse than that Gemini crap which got nothing last time.
I've had the unfortunate pleasure to see Gemini live (Their introduction was 'Hi I’m Gemma and Hi I'm Chris and...
I've has sky for years and wouldn't be without it. Why? Well here's a scenario. Its Sunday afternoon, got a bit of a hangover and I can't be arsed to do much. The choices are
1. Mow the Lawn
2. Pop world with some long haired twat on T4
3. The wifes Slags in the city DVD or
4. Man U v Bolton
I...
Come on Sim. I'd have stopped watching it if Sugar had got rid of anyone other than that twat. It was cut and dried from the word 'Cheese' or should that be Halal pork?
