Morrisey is on Johnathon Ross right now. Sound pretty cool:cool:

If I had a dog I'm sure my 'pet hate' would be picking up the steaming shit off of the pavement with the bag on my hand; mind you it's probably quite a good hand warmer in your pocket on those cold winter mornings:eek:

As I accumulate new books they just displace my wife's chick lit section on our shelves. I don't know where they end up;don't really care, under the bed I expect.:rolleyes:

Drivers who drive within a few inches of your bumper thinking this will make you drive faster. Drivers who block junctions in start stop situations. Drivers who take up two or more parking spaces with one car.........I could go on.:mad:

One of my pet hates is the use of the word "absolutely" when used as a term of agreement. I'm sure it was never around ten years ago; what are you "absolutely" users on? Can't you just say 'yes'?:eek: :eek:

How was Victory? I thought Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim were two great books, beautifully written especially Lord Jim. I'm thinking of reading another Conrad novel; is Victory in the same style as the two I mentioned?
