Oh yes

If you're a Hiaasen fan, check out Colin Bateman, Norn Iron's answer to king Carl. You might need a little help with the vernacular, but he's up there with CH. And yes, check out MP, don't think you'll be disappointed

Bateman is excellent too especially the Belfast based man with no name. At the end of that first book I was sure we'd find his mother was dead but still in residence

...and then there's Jasper Fforde.

Very clever. Very funny.

...with occasional mentions of hernias.

Tom Holt?

Tom Holt?

ahh no...got me there

Thanks mate, when it does get bad I console myself with the fact I don't sound like Antony Hegarty. He's had something a lot worse done down there.

Can't understand why Antony receives so much stick on here

WR, Ges & i all enjoy his emotive music immensely & i think one of our new pollsters have voted for his albums in our polls

Me too, but glad she wasn't. She has a vicious, wickedly funny tongue on her!

If you haven't, read 'Empire State'. For me, it has one of the best endings of any book I've read

[Twiggster]

I've not read anything since "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy". After that, no need to read anything else is there?

I sold that many years ago under the Naprosyn brand - still works, then! Make sure you wear something Leeds in case you are on the next TV series. Good luck with it.

How did you get on? I had mine done yesterday - 12 staples holding my gut together. Quite a bit of pain but it will only be for a week or two. Not looking forward to going for a dump or having a coughing/ sneezing session but it seems to be manageable. Although my mate had it done and said day 3 after the op was the worst - cant wait

Turned up at 7.15 am (jimmys) waited all day and was told to go home (Bas**rds) at 4.45 spent all day in there no food or water since 11 night before, apparently the guy who was on the slab before me devloped complications and consequently they wouldn't have time to do me, F**king fuming i was really kicked off on the ward (in true LUFC fashion) i can tell you,they were grovelling all over me with sympathy but i am in real pain with this and off work,now Im waiting for a new date, have slapped a complaint in for what good that will do me. NHS shove it, from what you say though looks like another couple of weeks off work after the op.
