holiday reading

currently reading 'a spot of bother', by mark haddon. its the same bloke who did the curious incident of the dog in the night time thing, about the retard kid.

good so far, am a quarter through.

it was even about a retard kid in park south, seem to remember a bit where he gets a train from a place with 'signal point' written on it, and it sounds like he walks from covingham, or somewhere like that...

and his dad described swindon as a "shithole" or something. what a great author.

oxfords groundsman died over the weekend i see

[oxford_fan]

yes he did, sad news. dave wedge made the manor pitch look amazing for years, and the kass has always been pretty much perfect. i hope you didn't bring it up in retaliation of my quote from mark haddon, that would be low.

no mate not at all, i was going to post it in the other football stuff, but posted it here, my mistake    :?

[oxford_fan]

no worries, i was hoping it was a random interjection. he was only 44/45

[tans]

yeah i see that, why did i have it in my head that mick brown was groundsman??  :?

just started reading that. nice short chapters.

i have just finished "weeping woman hotel" by alexei sayle... quite enjoyable even if it is a bit girl-y. also recently read "high society" by ben elton, which is basically just one big rant, but interesting subject matter (legalising all drugs).

next up is the fourth bear by jasper fforde. why this man isn't more well known i will never know.

yes, a real sense of achievement with only minimal effort.

Not a football book, but I read the autobiography of Alex James (the bass player from Blur)

Well worth a read, especially if you are a Blur fan

he lives 3 miles away from me - fact - runs a farm now

Yep he makes cheese.

I admire him,hes doing everything exactly as a you should.

Struggling Band-> Popular band -> Drugs and Girls -> Rehab -> Tweed Jackets -> Country Pile

He drinks his wife's breast milk.

Do you reckon he's tried to make cheese out of it ?
