8 Simple Rules, may see what else is on though.

Fish and chips

The Rotter's Club- Johnathan Coe Synopsis (from Amazon) Jonathan Coe's widely acclaimed novel is set in the 1970s against a distant backdrop of strikes, terrorist attacks and growing racial tension. A group of young friends inherit the editorship of their school magazine and begin to put their own distinctive spin onto events in the wider world. A zestful comedy of personal and social upheaval, The Rotters' Club captures a fateful moment in British politics - the collapse of 'Old Labour' - and imagines its impact on the topsy-turvy world of the bemused teenager: a world in which a lost pair of swimming trunks can be just as devastating as an IRA bomb. Review I remember seeing the TV serialisation of this a few years ago, and while I only really remember Lois I do remember that it was good. I think this actually made the book a little less enjoyable for me- it felt a little slow at times- however I did still enjoy it. Part of what I enjoyed is that I could recognise the places mentioned and knew some of the history of Birmingham discussed in the book. However in a way this made things not so good It is well known history though, so I am sure Coe anticipated this. Another thing I really liked was that I felt I got to know the characters. Cicely I didn't like, although she grew on me a little, and I came to kind of understand her. I liked Ben. But most of all I liked Lois, she made me laugh and she seemed very intelligent- although first views of her didn't really reflect this. I just wish we had heard more from her. 3.5/5

Hmm wonder if the same driver was driving my bus this afternoon...he was erratic enough!

Saw The Ghost last weekend. Was a bit weird but enjoyable.

Baked potato and beans.

The Prime Ministerial Debate

About halfway through Malinche now, it is a short book!

Finished The Rotter's Club and started Malinche- Laura Esquivel

Have almost finished The Rotter's Club, may even finish tonight.

Easter egg, again.

Easter Egg

Hi High Jingo! to the forum

Same here

I wasn't very impressed either, and like you Michelle I was more impressed with the war daleks than the multi-coloured ones (especially with my sister's comment that they looked like tellitubbies!). I am looking forward to next week though, I liked Blink.

Echo that's awful! When I got hit by a car last year there were people complaining because it caused a traffic jam (oh I'm so sorry me getting hit by a car has inconvenienced you), but that's much worse. Yeah I've heard that one before. Also the worry that people may be putting themselves at risk. Sad but true.

Just finished a pannacotta

Yeah I remember, it was great. I've been trying to find a copy of a Pippo book for my niece but apparently it's print on demand, so not sure if I'll be able to get a new one.

Oh I didn't know there was a sequel. What's it called?

Saw Clash of the Titans last weekend, waste of time.
