Oh I don't mind a good blub over a good book Asset, especially when it is so beautifully written. I blubbed nearly all the way through Khalid Hossieni's The Kite Runner and it's follow up A Thousand Splendid Suns, both of which I'd highly recommend to anyone who hasn't read them. Edited for typo.
Good work those who helped out. Tony, you're living in a rose tinted past. Get real. There were plenty of villains and thugs and a lot of violence around 40 years ago.
In that case come to the next book swap where you can rid yourself of unwanted books and pick up some good new titles. Any books left over go to the charity shops. Job done.
You can stick yer e-books up yer arse. (Not you of course Mamora Man) And yer IPods too for that matter. A home is not a home without books covering the shelfs or records and CDs for that matter. My home is overflowing with all of these things and to some it might be clutter but to me I'm surrounded by the things I love. Call old fashioned but I'll stick to what I like thanks.
Just over halfway through Markus Zusak's The Book Thief, which I started a couple of days ago. A wonderful book, a real page turner, really enjoying it. Picked it up at the last book swap. Marvellous!
Well done G & B. You deserve a hearty pat on the back after all the troubles you went through earlier this year. I haven't been in for quite a while but when I have I've thoroughly enjoyed every single wine that I've drunk from your fine establishment. I'm sure they'll be plenty more in the future to be getting down my Gregory. Keep up the good work.

Exactly! The new owners will want their own man in. I can see the same thing happening to Mark Hughes as what happened to Keegan and Curbishley. They'll bring in players they don't want and get rid of players the manager does want. Hughes will probably have little say in the transfer market and he'll be on his bike whether they sack him or not. I can imagine he had little say in the transfer of Robinho, for instance. You've got to let the manager manage otherwise it's just chaos.
There is another thread on this Raquel that started off as the Magdala changing hands and a name change (Magnolia) but it has now morphed into it's reopening.
