Randomly picked this up in the bookshops last month, just through reading the jacket, without knowing its background…

    My book reading has been very sporadic over the years and I've been trying to do something about it more recently, cause I know I enjoy (and benefit from) it when I do; life and easier distractions just get in the way through, don't them!
  • Woah, that looks interesting @nicko… might have to give that a look-up.
  • "Guy Martin "takes you" on the ride of his life!" (snigger, chortle, belly ache laughter)

    Ahem...yes that looks quite interesting :D
  • *stares at BW*
  • For real me like him. Promise!

    Just being the usual "innuendo detective/comedian" is all...
    Stop staring...starting to think I should be feeling moist...but...it's gone...never mind

  • This thread.
  • i highly recommend reading the comments about an article about a 9 year old reporter.

    not sarcastic or condescending ever. often mind numblingly tedious. sometimes hilarious. mostly hilarious when you consider they are being way too serious.

    I think he did good, yeah. Clifford is a piano guy, too – he provided the chords and played off camera for Bowie on Extras (the Pug-nosed face skit) – and was apparently inspired by Garson from an early age. His book sort of reads like a long essay with lots of footnotes and the like.
