    Everything Wine

    I find it hard not to laugh at your talk of fine wines. Surely it has to another 'Emperor's new clothes' scam? I prefer Lambrini (pomagne@approx£1.79 per litre with screw cap) to all of the Champagnes. Tesco's own at 84p a bottle is quite good, and has a plastic cap which makes a good pop...

    Can anyone suggest a literary agent?

    I think you'd better just hope that one picks you after you've sent your manuscipt to as many as you afford the postage to.:(

    Hubert Selby: Last Exit To Brooklyn

    The movie is pretty bad. Seeing it would put anyone off reading this great book.

    Well, I was disappointed with it.

    The Da Vinci Code

    Anyone watch Have I got News for You? They were talking about the Da Vinci Code. Over million people have read it. Apparently some without even moving their lips. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

    Why is badminton unpopular?

    Badminton to me means rich, brain dead chinless wonders galloping expensive horses over jumps made out of telegraph poles and lakes. It's a three day event isn't it?

    Bad song lyrics.

    We've got the best and now - the worst. I know it's hard to choose, there are so many. I'll start with Paul Simon's new one. 'I'll stand guard outside your door Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever.' What ?

    Best version of Ulysses?

    That was very well said Kenny Shovel. The adjective 'wonderful' does tend to be used mostly by people who are a long way up themselves though.;) :)

    Best version of Ulysses?

    Hey stewart, you forgot to us if you enjoyed your Ulysses 1922 text, Oxford World's Classic edition. I bet you did.:rolleyes:

    Pet Hates. This is Room 101.

    Good one pink shadow. Why can't Neanderthal ball-game lovers have their own channel. Ball games includes sex. ;) Into room 101 with sports.

    Gabriel García Márquez

    No Stewart, I'm not a satirist. Clever of you to notice. I'm a bitter, twisted, cynical old fart. I missed the bit where I said there was anything difficult about Marquesz.:p

    Best version of Ulysses?

    Stephen Hawkins doesn't write 'novels' as far as I know. Maybe he should, they may get the same Emperor's new clothes admiration as Ulysses.;) :D

    Gabriel García Márquez

    Look in 'search'. I'm sure there has been a lot of blather about it. I've read it, and another of his, the one in which it rains all the time.;) Magical realism, I believe it's called. A couple of my friends, who are 'arty farty' pretentious, insecure, due to failing their 11 plus - you...

    The Art of the Personal Ad

    London Reveiw of Books. A great source for personal ads. http://www.lrb.co.uk/classified/index.php Someone is putting out a book later this year of the best personals. I check them regularly, there are some hilarious ones.:D

    The Art of the Personal Ad

    I spent an entire day in the British Library sourcing obscure reference material to cite in this ad, then I lost it all when I stopped off at Burger King on the way home. Man, 34. courtesy LRB

    The Art of the Personal Ad

    Hubris made me pen this ad. You will answer, of course, but only ironically. Man, once great and 23, now alone and 51. courtesy LRB
