*Sigh* If only I could, but he is ever in his secret hideaway on the Isle of Arran, grazing with the goats. As for courtesy to women, I am all for it, I'd generally hold the door open for anyone if I got there first. Phil :)

Fear Nothing is the first part of the Christopher Snow series, so you should read that first, then get Seize the Night later if you like it. That series is my favorite of Koontz's work, still waiting for him to bring out the third book! (Its getting on for seven or eight years since the first...

He has three books and they are all really funny :) Round Ireland With a Fridge Playing the Moldovans at Tennis One Hit Wonderland. He is a great comic and that translates very well into his books, if you are a fan of his stand-up stuff then you will like these ramblings. Phil

Only the first book follows the storyline of the games, as far as I can remember. Yes, that was me admitting that I have read (indeed, own!) a couple of the Doom books. I'm not proud, but from what I remember they wernt all that terrible .. it was a loooong time ago that they were first...

Bah!! Disease, Pestilence, whos counting?? Well, except for direstraits anyway :rolleyes: Anyways, I maintain that Martin must be known from now on as Pestilence, it has a nice ring to it :) Phil

Yeah we had the same thing happen to us when we living in Reading, someone smashed the petrol cap off and siphoned out the petrol (our fault for leaving it on the street when we went on holiday, I suppose) ... we found the mangled cap in a hedge about 20m down the road, luckily the nice people...

I didnt see a smilie there ... surely that wasnt sarcasm! Phil

I would like to thank Hay's modesty for bringing about World Peace ;) Phil
