    I haven't seen skins, but from what I have heard it is pretty strong stuff. I think it caused some concern over here too.

    Aw, thanks! I'm glad you like them! I am never sure whether people read them or not, but I enjoy...

    4th annual b&r secret santa

    Looks like we are having a postal strike here in the UK, so I will have to sit this out, otherwise I'd love to take part, it sounds like a lovely idea. Good luck with it!

    Bbc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not so much censorship? Thats interesting... Try not to get thrown off the board for typing rude things, but what sorts of things do you see from the BBC that might be censored normally on your shows? More violent? More "saucy"? More bad language?

    Yep, Torchwood is a BBC show.

    Bbc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thats interesting. Those programmes weren't made by the BBC, they were shown on the commercial channels here in the UK, Channel 4 I think. I guess the BBC bought the rights to show them in other countries. Shame, the BBC has more than enough excellent programmes to show to the world rather...

    What do you do?

    I'm a Chartered Chemical Engineer. Sadly, I decided I wanted to be a chemical engineer when I was 10 years old and so all my efforts at school were directed towards that aim. I enjoy it very much, not sure what else I would do if I wasn't an engineer.

    David Foenkonis: The Erotic Potential Of My Wife

    ISBN: 978-1-84659-045-0 Published: September 2008 Publisher: Telegram Books This isn't as saucy as the title might sound, but it is very funny and very touching. The book is translated from the original French manuscript, and has quite a unique style. There is something of Pushing...

    The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher: Or The Murder At Road Hill House By Kate Summerscale

    That sounds really good. I have added it to my "want to read" list :flowers:

    The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher: Or The Murder At Road Hill House By Kate Summerscale

    I think you are right when you say the advertising was a little misleading. I was assuming the same as you, that it would be a Victorian murder mystery and it wasn't like that at all. That said I enjoyed it, but not for the reasons I thought.

    The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher: Or The Murder At Road Hill House By Kate Summerscale

    Did you enjoy any part of the book? I agree, the murder was not really that interesting, but I though the social aspect to it was great.

    The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher: Or The Murder At Road Hill House By Kate Summerscale

    Has anyone else read this? I'd love to know how you felt about the ending. We'll have to dust off the spoiler tags though!

    The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher: Or The Murder At Road Hill House By Kate Summerscale

    By now you will know that I have a love of the traditional English country house murder. You know the sort, a full cast of likely perpetrators with a nosey old lady and at least one retired Major thrown in. Road Hill House was a real family home and there was a real murder committed there in...

    Dan Brown: The Lost Symbol

    I heard on the radio that he had another 12 Langdon plots waiting to be written... I read the Da Vinci Code, and that was quite enough for me.

    Print On Demand Books

    Has anyone ever bought one of these? There is a book I'd like and it is out of "normal print" and I can't get a second hand copy, but it is available in the US as print on demand. Even with the postage to the UK it's only about £8, so I might take the risk and get it. I just wondered what...
