Oh my Luton v Millwall is a return of the grudge matches of the 80's and 90's, there used to be so much crowd trouble at those matches, my hubby, his Dad ans other Luton fans were chased away from the ground once! Lets hope tey all behave this time, I expect there'll be a large police presence just in case..

Yeah it's a shame.. (He's definitely Scottish today )

Hmm Torres.... Maybe if they'd not patronised Brentford and put a more decent side on in the first place, and why are they not putting Ba on till the last 5/10 mins?!!

Tell me about it!!! Nerves were shredded by the end of that!!

I don't want Chelsea to meet MK Dons any time soon then!!

The Prestige - Hugh Jackman (swoon) and Christian Bale. A very clever film.

I didn't read much of your White Fang review Bree, I'll pop back once I've read it myself, I should be getting to it over the next week or so, I'm hoping I'll like it as much as you did, I'm just worried its going to be too sad!!

And Luton Town beating Norwich City today to get through to the next round of the FA Cup, a great achievement for my husbands team! . Lets hope Chelsea can manage Brentford tomorrow...

Thanks for the Hitchin pics Momo, I grew up in Stevenage, worked, lived and met my other half in Hitchin, then moved to Letchworth and lived there for 2 years before moving away. I used to love the psychic garden at Hitchin library and often used to walk through there on my lunch hour...

Great shelves Devi! Looks like you have lots of good books to get around to reading!

I think we have the first of the CoAD somewhere, is it more for younger teens Tiger?

It's beautiful Bree, you can definitely see the British influence!

I'm of an age where I think of old films as being in black and white.. So, number 7, does that means it is set after the original (and best) Star Wars or before?

Looks like you had a great 2012 frankie, and it's lovely to see how much pleasure you get from buying and reading and making all your bookie lists... Looks like I may have a few more books to add to my wish list!

After watching a recent interview with Hugh Jackman in which he mentioned doing a song and dance at the the beginning of the 2011 Oscars (which he hosted) I just had to look it up! Very funny!

I saw that in the news this morning and thought of you Noll, it was a tough category too! I was pleased to see Miranda hart, Paul O'Grady and Mrs Brown's Boys get awards too..

Yep, I think I got a third of the way through before giving in, it was soooo slow and tedious and by that point I couldn't have cared less how it ended!

That's exactly what I did! I'll have to check that out Kylie as I'm attempting to do that at the moment as I know sugar irritates my headaches, I'm only cutting out refined sugars at the moment but I may start to have to cut out more things containing sugar like cereals etc.

I just loved ADoW and the pages seemed to fly by, but struggled with the follow up Shadow of Night although I did enjoy it more by the time I finished it.

I believe Toni Morrison is Barack Obama's favourite author - just a little fact for you..

Chicken pie, mash and gravy, good snow food!

Thanks Janet, it's on my bedside table waiting for me to get an early night!

Ok, a bit of fun.... I can't decide what to read next off my TBR list (see page one ) So.............. first person to read this can choose which book I read next..... By this evening would be lovely please...

7. Blackwood - Gwenda Bond (January 23rd) 3.5/5 Amazon Synopsis On Roanoke Island, the legend of the 114 people who vanished from the Lost Colony hundreds of years ago is just an outdoor drama for the tourists. But when the island faces the sudden disappearance of 114 people now, an unlikely pair of 17-year-olds may be the only hope of bringing them back. Miranda, a misfit girl from the island's most infamous family, and Phillips, an exiled teen criminal who hears the voices of the dead, must dodge everyone from federal agents to long-dead alchemists as they work to uncover the secrets of the new Lost Colony. The one thing they can't dodge is each other. This was a YA book kindly sent to me by Michelle. It was a little typical in it's style, teenage misfit who the whole town frowns on meets a town bad boy (not particularly bad in this case, think young Johnny Depp rather than Al Pacino or Nicholas Cage!) I did like the way the author used the age old story of The Lost Colony to build the story, although I hope no one thinks this is what actually happened, no doubt some easily influenced history avoiding teens will. Otherwise it was a good read, with good building tension that encouraged me to read it reasonably quickly to see what happened in the end. This is definitely one for my teen and budding teen to read at some point. Very little use of bad language and nothing more frisky than a kiss and a hand on a chest (and that was girl on boy.. )
