It's brilliant isn't it! (I'm now in love with Robert Downey Jr ) I'm hoping to see Nowhere Boy soon

Me too! I'll probably only watch tonight's show though to see who's going in. I heard a rumour that Alex Reid (of Katie Price fame) is going in but I'm not sure how true that is.

Ah it was amazing! haaaaa! The song that I really hate at the moment is Tik Tok by Kesha. Her voice is annoying, she clearly can't spell, the lyrics......argh.......I could go on. In short, I'd like to strangle Kesha!

Thanks

That's what I was thinking Heeeeeeeee.....I reckon we might just burst before May comes around though

I've started to watch The Sopranos, having never seen it before. So far I'm at Season 1, Episode 2 and it's been pretty good

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that too Will you be finished your dissertation by that point too? Heeeeeee.......May will be a good month! Interview With The Vampire is such an amazing book....can't wait to hear what you think

I know....I thought that too. Plus, it's never good when a ....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I wonder if we'll find out why at the end of the last book He better have a bloody good reason!

My father had a face that could stop a clock. Jasper Fforde - The Eyre Affair

That's crazy! Some people eh........

My Sister used to skyplus that too! (She also records Jeremy Kyle!!! tut tut!)

Did you read the first chapter of Dead in the Family on Charlaine Harris's website? I couldn't help myself!! ERIC!! Great minds think alike eh!!

I'm catching up on all my Skyplus as I've been away for a week. I don't really watch a lot of tv but what I do watch is complete trash! So far I've watched 3 hours of America's Next Top Model (the shame!)

Hey Michael! Welcome to the Forum! Great intro!

I'm looking forward to Alice in Wonderland I was also looking forward to Sherlock Holmes, however I've now been to see it and loved it! (now I'm nursing a very slight/massive crush on Robert Downey jr)

I watched Frost Nixon last night and it was BRILLIANT!!!!

I bought the first book and read about 3 pages before getting side tracked with Christmas and Anne Rice I've got about 200 pages of The Vampire Armand to read and then I'll get cracking with Ms Armstrong. I've heard lots of good things about these books so I'm looking forward to reading them

I'm currently making my way through The Vampire Chronicles (I'm halfway through The Vampire Armand and loving it). I'm not sure which has been my favourite so far as they keep getting better. As far as the story goes, I think Interview With The Vampire and Tale of the Body Thief have been my favourites as they were pretty easy going and I couldn't put them down. Memnoch the Devil has made me question things that I've always just accepted and got me thinking as to what my beliefs are. So now I'm in the midst of The Vampire Armand and although he's not a character I've enjoyed reading about in the past, I'm enjoying the book and getting to see things from his point of view. I love it how Anne Rice has the capacity to completely change your mind about a character. During Interview With the Vampire I despised Lestat for how he treated Louis but now he's without a doubt my favourite vampire 'to beat all vampires' She has a great way of describing long forgotten places, bringing them to life. The way she describes 18th century Paris in The Vampire Lestat makes me want to be there. Can't wait to get to the end

I've been internet-less for the past few days so have done myself a fair bit of reading I finished Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice which turned out to be amazing and I'm now halfway through The Vampire Armand. My new years resolution is to finish Anne rice's Vampire Chronicles For Christmas my BF bought me Charlaine Harris's A Touch of Dead, The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory and The Vampire Armand.

Ahhhhh Stephanie!!!! I'm so in love with the American Office. The first series isn't too as good as it could be but it really comes into its own when you get into the 2nd and especially 3rd series. It's my favourite comedy of the decade. I know Frankie of BCF fame is also in love with it. Steve Carell and the George Forman Grill episode is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life!

Welcome to the Forum Teamedward! I'm Team Jacob myself as I think Edward's a tad dull (Please don't throw anything at me!) Have you read Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries? The series True Blood is based on them. If you haven't already read them I'd definitely recommend them
