Better than me. I read it long after it got published, just out of curiosity. What a load of c p! Amazing that a book so badly written, exploiting such worn-out theories, could have sold so much.  
Ask Mark, he'll tell you how irritated I was (hmmph... muttering under my breath...)

I think I'm going to try Jordan's autobiography next

no what it was was that the original 1st page of the bible was lost, what it said was "this book should not be used for the basis of any religion...(rest of red dwarf quote here)"

wasn't it 'this book is purely ficticious and any similarity to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental'

Guess we aren't a paticularly religious lot on here then!

I forgot to mention that the kite halyard is so free running on the Musto that the 4mm line doesn't even make the slightest mark on ungloved hands...

Grafham this weekend was pretty close to paradise accept for the fact that there was Goose droppings all over the place. Should be paradise when we venture up there with the 9er if the wind god's are still looking favourably on me. Need to go and worship them............(in the pub).
