I finished this the other night. As others have said the spelling/grammar thing is a bit annoying (and easily solved I think) but it became less of an issue for me as I progessed through the book. Overall I found the characters quite likeable and the story/premise quite intriguing - anything which has any kind of church or religion as the baddies is on a winner with me. The only thing is I'm an impatient bastard - I've read a few book series and indeed watched a few TV series where I've waited until the whole things finished before starting it as I don't like having to wait/weeks/months/years to see how it pans out or indeed ivest in something which is canceeled or left unfinished. The concept would work well for me if you were releasing installments on a regular basis and this starter did do enough to want me to know how it pans out but a vague "sometime in the future" is a bit disappointing.

The shit cunt will wind them up at ht and Dean will continue as he's done in giving them everything and send a couple off. What this derby really needs is Obertan.

I got an email from Trip Advisor with "top ten weird hotels" and "top ten hotels with stunning views" and a couple of other similar lists. One of the stunning views was a hotel in Bora Bora (French Polynesia) so I searched for a trip there just for a laugh. It came back with a weeks trip including flights (economy) which take 30 hours each way (via LA/NZ) for 11 fucking grand - a few other hotels in the same place are all the same price (and more). I'm all for luxury-ish holidays but that's a different league.

Cleadon, Whitburn and the Boldons are South Tyneside despite the postcodes - there's only really Ashbrooke that's comparable with Gosforth or Jesmond.

Not like anyone else ever fiddled results and hid benefits.

I disagree - as she say's the reason so many people accept the status quo is bacuase the bastards have "bred" a cap-doffing, subservient attitude to the upper classes and the rich embodied by the royals. "Rich people = good, poor people = bad" maybe simplistic but that's the ideal attitude. The bankers et al are just the modern lords and nobles - above and beyond the law.

Do pilots have a mental health check programme? I can see why the locks issue is a hard one - a combination override would make it vulnerable to threats to reveal it.

Using one record attendance instead of continuous trouncing of their average year on year is as contrived as the mackems using "titles are worth more than cups" i.e. fucking desperate.

I think the BBC bought them out for shit loads and then paid large salaries so they could own the overseas revenue.

Chicken and egg - stupid name or being stupid.

I always thought the brat pack was synonymous with John Hughes. Haven't checked the correlation tbf.

Good to hear - congrats.

Ally Sheedy before they ruined her is fucking lovely and the upskirt of Molly Ringwald is a cinematic marvel.

Infinitely enhances the "he's one of our own" chant like.

I agree that he shouldn't be the one scapegoat. I'd like to see the political angles addressed and the coppers who lied in the aftermath prosecuted. Of course one of the reasons this took so long was to give some of those involved the chance to die. This approach is currently in place for the establishment child abuse allegations.

For being caught obviously.

Not even the bitch who just doesn't like negroid features?

I know it hasn't finished yet but today was a bit of a smoking gun moment when Duckenfield admitted failing to divert the fans from the main tunnel was the main cause.

There's no way the city will allow Farage or anyone else to quit the EU.

Exactly PL - I said at the time he should never play for us again for his bottle out against the cradle snatcher so apart from illustrating the stupidity of those in charge, I couldn't give a shit that the bloke's gone.

Babylon 5 actually - Buffy is top 10 admittedly. (I should learn to quote really to stop Ewerk's interjections making me look daft).

To follow what you said about Alex and his electronica reccomends, you're still on a red card/suspension from me for touting that Girls atrocity. (At Gemmill obviously)

It's obvious to me that the most recent key was letting the less developed EU countries in knowing full well it would mean a shit load of workers migrating. I think the argument over whether 3 year moratoriums should have been in place are pointless as they would have come eventually. I think its plain the only gainers are the corporations and of course the fukcing farmers - but then again the latter are under severe pressure from the former. I would also like to think that the plainly stupid relaxation of Asian family visas wasn't as simplistically fuckwiited as Labour importing voters but when cunts like Madelson are involved I wouldn't put it past them. I think skilled/sponsored immigration is fine but as I've said before, even that has had a negative effect on salaries in my line of work. Whether anyone thinks UKIP are idiots are not, the practicalities of introducing any of their policies would be nightmarish.
