I never expected Liz to be the one this week. I was so sure that I'd finally see Dara O'Brien rip into Stuart. I can't believe Lord Sugar actually fell for his Bull.
I've given up with The Wrong Kind of Blood. I guess I'm just not a crime Fiction sort of guy. Means I can carry on with the Dark Tower series now though. Wolves Of The Calla, here I come.
I've returned to watching Stargate SG1. Got up to season 5 before watching other things like House M.D. and True Blood. now those are done with I'm resuming my Geek fest
I don't use a land-line at all. Everything I do is done through the mobile. I've got an exceptionally good contract with T-Mobile that gets me £180 worth of calls and texts a month, to any number, for only £35 a month. And because I work for T-Mobile's IT Support I get their Employee discount of 1/2 price WIN!
Although It would be nice to own some First editions, I tend to carry my books in a rucksack and they do tend to get slightly battered. I don't see much point to it for that reason.

With a year left to go, I wouldn't read anything I don't think. I'd go and do all the things I've always wanted to do like sky dive, Swim with a great White (In a cage obviously), climb Everest, Marry my Fiancee.... etc.
I hate Stuart with a passion... he is such a self-opinionated p***k.
I want to reach through the TV and punch him firmly on the nose every time he opens his mouth. He should be the one to leave.
Struggling to get into "The Wrong Kind Of Blood" by Declan Hughes. I guess I'm so used to reading Fantasy/Sci-Fi that the change to Crime is going to take some getting used to.
I'll probably be new since your absence so I'll just say Hi, welcome back and I hope you are healing well. 2 Months off for a shoulder injury must be quite serious. What happened if you don't mind me asking? Wishing you well.
You are very welcome. Spike has always been one of my favourite comedians, along with the other two Goons. His warped, twisted humour has always made me and my Dad stop breathing with laughter.
