Cheers for that was fun, although I clearly see some suspenders in the picture so not sure about the last one but I guess peoples habits change over time! Clearly the Rocky Horror picture show needs to tour some more!!!

I'm definitely available and looking forward to it.
I see BCPC have a team in it so I would very much like to finish above them for some bragging rights at the next league game!

My thoughts are the parents as well in this, they must be going through hell, I believe the boy's oldest brother is now with him in hospital but the parents should be there. I did also hear that a charity is prepared to pay for the specific treatment if it will help so maybe just maybe something good will come from it.
I am also intrigued how it took the hospital 6 hours to realise that the child was missing!

I have to admit to being a Patrick Stewart fan (being of the star trek the next generation generation) I also saw him in Waiting for Godot with Gandalf. They were absolutely brilliant.
James Corden actually found fame via the History Boys both on the West end and in film with the late great Richard Griffiths.

Yes I am afraid so, feel like i should be stood up say I am an addict and I read Sci-fi. I think my defence would be that it is escapism and creates lots of different environments to write amazing stories, just finished a very good one which almost had a wild west frontier feel about it! However if I could recommend one that I read recently it would be "The Great North Road" by Peter Hamilton it is a mix of Sci-fi/detective and thriller, best book I have read in a long time. I would say read it and then see if you still have the same view about Sci-Fi.

A cultured diary, now if only my friends had read that they would currently be in serious need of medical help (can you actually die laughing). If you notice I did not mention which types of books I generally read!. I am a fan of sci-fi and fantasy (started with the hobbit, and moved through David Eddings, Donaldson, Fiest and my all time favourite David Gemmell) I do read some other genre's including most the Sherlock Holmes, early John Grisham.
One thing I do love at the moment is the range of children/young adult books it just seems to have massively expanded since I was a child. My daughter read the Hobbit at 8 because she could not wait, but had already read Muddle Earth 1 & 2 (correct title check it out if you have kids) and currently my lad is reading Muddle Earth, and we actually have to take the books off them and out of their rooms at night to stop them reading!

I have to admit that if i have one addition it is books, I love the feeling of going into a bookshop knowing I will come out with at least one book (often more) but not really knowing which ones. That feeling is only really beaten by knowing that one of your favourite authors has a new book out and that you will shortly be purchasing it.
I have to admit to even preferring to physically buy the book in a shop as opposed to Amazon (despite the cost difference) as it just takes me back to being a kid again.
The feel you get when you are finishing a really good book is always a mix of pleasure and a little bit of disappointment that it is over!
