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!
Great post.
Have you ever considered contributing to a more cultured diary by any chance?
Wow , Has Woodsey started one.

As Spammer Tom noted, that is a great post, so touchy-feely. I'll reply later, bit tied up right now, but thank you.
Not many things more enjoyable than spending a morning in a proper bookshop.

Brilliant.
Not sure I've ever seen "cultured" & "woodsey" in the same sentence. Very knowledgeable on matters of Thai girls & the like, mind.

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!

Most heartening thing I've read all week, that's great to hear.

Saw this quote on another thread.
"So, for now, I'm going to enjoy a nice, relaxing, restful Saturday, gonna have a stroll along the Thames, do my ironing, cook me a vegetable curry, watch some racing, cricket, darts, have a nap, & play some poker. "
Would this be a preprepared curry that you have purchased or will you be making one from scratch?
If the latter would you be kind enough to share your recipe, thank you.

Playing the 25/25 in Blackpool ("Vegas of the North"). I have been seated next to someone who I believe would describe himself as a
character
.
Any tips?

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.

Has the gentleman introduced himself to the dealers as follows? 'Hi i am the millionaire Howard Plant?' That's his usual introduction line if the dealer is female!
