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.

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!
