This is due out on October 17th, it is the book John was in the process of writing when he died. Sadly he never got to finish it so his widow Sheila has done it for him. :) I'm looking forward to reading this, he was a great man, I still miss his voice on the radio. :(

I got this book for Christmas last year and I have to say I enjoyed reading it. I thought it was well researched and well written with some good anecdotes. :)

How about this :) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4222570.stm

They are not fun :mad:

It may be hard to understand but in this country some people *shock horror* don't drive. They rely on a bicycle to get to work or to visit friends. For some people it's their only means of transport. Children who are not old enough to drive a car use them too.

You can ban smoking for a start :D Bicyles are not unecessary :confused:

Fireworks are totally unecessary, they serve no purpose whatsoever. whereas the other things you mention do. Yes even roller skates, I have a colleague who rollerskates to work. :D

Surely 1 person injured by a firework is too many.

Of course they are dangerous, they exlpode for heavens sake :rolleyes:

Totally agree, they are effectively small bombs and very dangerous. Let me tell you a story :D Back in July it was about midnight and we heard this firework going off, one of those roman candle things. I'm not exaggerating it was so loud you could hear it from miles away :mad: Anyway...

I didn't think The taking was one of his better books really. I've read Life expectancy recently and that was much better, I thought it was really good. :)

Thanks for the replies :) I'm sure he's a good writer but they don't sound like my kind of thing really.

To be honest I'd never heard of this fellow until I saw his name on a poster in my local bookshop today. Has anyone read any of his stuff and if so is it any good? he's going to be signing copies of his latest book very close to where I live soon. I just wondered if it would be worth going to...

Today I bought from Tesco Life expectancy by Dean Koontz and Ireland by Frank Delany, oh the shame of it :D

Yes I definately prefer the Pink Floyd version :)

I bought the world according to Jeremy Clarkson last weekend. :D I haven't read it yet but it looks like it will be funny.

Great thread :D I must say I enjoy reading some of the latest bestsellers that are usually on special offer in the supermarket. So that would be things like Clive Cussler, Michael Crichton and Jeffery Deaver to name but a few :) I also love Stephen King but I admit to not being a huge...

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Those were the days - Mary Hopkin Still got the blues - Gary Moore

So sad :( He was one of the only decent politicains left. R.I.P Robin. :(

I really liked Bill Clinton's biography, also enjoyed David Attenborugh's (UK tv presenter) and Midge Ure's :)
