  1. This sounds great, do you know where I can pick up a copy? Doesn't see to be available on Amazon.
  2. oh right, not really my cup of tea then hehe. Wonder why they shot up the amazon book list??
  3. I hadn't heard of these before, but I saw they are right at the top of amazon's top 100 bestselling books. Why the sudden popularity? What's the general premise of them?
  4. So so true! Ha! It was quite long, I saw it at the Imax which was definitely a good way to see it. Last film I saw was the Proposition, bit of a let down sadly.
  5. Thanks, that is a good review. No doubt a classic that should be read along with Orwell's 1984.

    Still chuffed about the last ashes! Rarely get to say that..
  7. Yeah she is great! I watched the first episode of this and couldn't stand the presenter. He is so patronising it's ridiculous. He's acting like he is doing interviews and commentary for Harry Potter or something like that. Watched that and he is still annoying, I know she is young but he asks stupid questions and talks down to her then keeps interrupting her! Really irritating.
  8. Yeah she's doing really well! Possibly my favourite episode so far last night.

    Not the most dramatic final considering some of the other matches, but still a good watch. Ronnie was obviously brilliant throughout and Ali looks like he will have a promising future.
  10. I finished the 2nd Mistborn book, The Well of Ascension, thought it was amazing! Also started and finished Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk, also very good. Now started Christine by King
  11. I have only been reading a lot recently and have therefore started many authors but not read all or even a majority of there stuff. So it is difficult to say, but I would agree with Bernard Cornwell but still only read about a quarter of his books.
  12. Well I won't be buying it until it comes out in paperback, but I did have a look at it in Waterstone's to see what the back cover looks like, you can tell it is made up of thousands of pictures but obviously you can't see any individual faces... but mine is there
  13. Well I finished the second Mistborn book, absolutely loved it! Thought it was as good as, if not better, then the first novel. Couldn't put it down!

    Did you see the 25th frame of the Carter/Maguire match? Over 45 minutes and fantastic snooker from Carter, Maguire got lucky quite a few times but Carter didn't let it bother him and played some amazing shots and definitely deserved the frame.
  15. Making good progress on the 2nd Mistborn novel, really enjoying it. Also reading through the Science of the X-Files by Michael White.
  16. Also recommend Arthur C. Clarke, either his Odyssey series or Rama series.

    I know what you mean, he does seem to get to a point where he loses focus and his game suffers enormously then he was great trouble getting back on form, but if he never loses it in the first place then he is unstoppable.
  18. Ok great, therefore it also makes sense that me and my partner use the same amazon account right? So whatever I pay for she wouldn't have to.
  19. Thank you! I've started applying already so hopefully will hear back soon.

    Ronnie now up to 9-5 and on his way to 10. Playing very well. Carter definitely being playing better today, nothing special from Maguire so far. Love seeing Ronnie play left-handed, it's so natural you don't even notice at first.
  21. I'm planning on getting a kindle soon and also just downloaded the kindle app for android on my phone, If I buy a book and download it on my phone using my amazon account will it be free to download again on my kindle?

    Just a little!
  23. I'm a jobless student at the moment. Ideally I would like to get into medical research preferably cancer research. But I would be happy with any kind of scientific laboratory.

    Routing for Carter over Jones, think he deserves the win more plus he's from Colchester! Lives just 10 miles away from me. O' Sullivan is looking the better in todays session, first two frames easily won.
