Bolton Centre is a place you go to, not live in. It's always been that way. At one time you could walk home from Trinity Street Station and hardly see a soul on the way home to Halliwell. Bit like Malaga; everybody flies there on the way to somewhere else but few ever stay in it (Shame really becaus...

Wilbur Smith? You can tell you're in your 40's..... :mrgreen: Not for one month, 25 days, 14 hours and 10 minutes I'm not, Sunshine! :wink: Seriously though, I'd really recommend Eye of the Tiger. There are twists in it right up to the last line. I found myself sat up reading it at ridiculous times...

What's on your bookshelf?
Apart from paperback novels or library books, what do you keep on your bookshelf as reading material? The sort of books you never pass on or throw away. I've got a pretty varied selection and was just wondering about the rest of you. Tell!

Based on having a new Jag and owning a half-a-million pound house I suppose they do need a rise. By normal standards they get paid more than I do, and get a damn sight more holidays. :evil: I dare you to say that to a teacher! They'll harp on about how difficult their job is, about all the marking ...

But then there is this to consider. :wink: Tango is every inch the distinguished-looking gentleman we all expected, Laughed so hard I nearly cried at that one Mummy. Not bad for someone who's n...

It worked, I'm hungry. Hot dog sausages and mustard on bread fingers right now. Sort of mini Reebok Dogs. :mrgreen: Mini Reebok dogs, eh?
