I'm off for a couple of weeks from Sunday (going to watch the World Cup with the Spaniards). Any recs on good reads? I like SiFi, Clarkson's musings and enjoyed Angels and Demons a few years ago.

I've read most of Tom Clancy's books. My favourite was Red Storm Rising.

At least I think that's what it was called.

For the Jeester? probably Womens Own or Peoples Friend.

Do you have a personal issue with the OP that drives you to sneer at him?

No but i have issues with people who are humorless and cannot mind their own business. Why you feel the necessity to cast your disparaging shadow upon some poor ragged clown with your gelid tentacles intent on strangling the humanity out of him i cannot say, but i merrily skip upon my way gleeful in the knowledge that even such a great darkness cannot overcome even a flickering light. 😵

Its retribution for what they did to the Barron, they treated him with disrespect, a fellow artist and poet just like you and I! just a ragged clown chasing shadows, until he was gunned down! Russ held the gun to his head, subscribe or be banned! but the Barron would not conform to his evil mind ray and vigorously resisting reincarnated himself in a new manifestation until ruthlessly smoked out by super girl and the cowboy! I hold them personally responsible!
