Hi Kaz - thanks for the welcome :)

Hello and welcome Bob (and your Balls!) :D

Wouldn't dream of knocking the Hoffmeister, Litany .....he is a legend! :p

Bit like David Hasselhoff ... :D

yeah, if my memory serves me correctly it was pretty dire - under funded, poorly acted and lacking any ooomph!

Hello Colin! :D

Hi Jack - I am a newie too ...welcome! :)

Great - thanks for that Wabbit ... will give it a go! Choosing avatars is a tough business - picked a frog as my nickname is Froggy and no - I haven't got webbed feet - I am from Southampton, not the Isle of Wight which any people from IOW, you know what I am talking about so no apologies...

Hi Wabbit - thanks for the recomendation as well - wasn't neverwhere a TV series years ago? - or am I having another flashback :confused:

I've read Neverwhere by Gaiman - not a bad book ... will try to pick up American Gods at some point if you recommend it .. Cheers

you could try English Passengers & Sweet Thames both by Matthew Kneale ...

Catch 22 :D very true - this is very dry and witty book (just finished reading it yesterday) and as Themistocles says - sometimes incomprehensible - but one of the best none the less.

Les Miserables - Victor Hugo 1984 - George Orwell Catch 22 - Joseph Heller Brave New World - Aldeous Huxley The Life of Pi - Yann Martel (there are more but best not go on...!)

thanku thanks very much Martin - just what I was looking for. Angela :)
