When I read that I got the impression you were typing it from your shower. If so you could just access the SAAS website and e-mail them.

Don't forget Virginia Woolf. She wasn't half bad either, and some would argue her best works at least rival Harry Potter.

If they obtained a warrant to search your house they would already have sufficient evidence to suggest that you plan to commit a robbery, I presume. If you had plans you'd be in trouble and explaining why you have a large sack with a dollar sign on it would be difficult, so don't leave that lying around.

He suffers from a common authors' affliction: he's tone deaf. Therefore he's unable to write with any rhythm, it's tragic really.

Well, to be fair, they were arbitrary choices in more than one sense although I do understand your meaning. Comparing "The Kite Runner" or "Atonement" to "Anna Karenina" or "Rabbit, Run" does seem a bit like choosing to watch "Weekend at Bernie's II" when you can explore dozens of cultures, an entire world of films at your command; or indeed you could just watch the vastly superior "Weekend at Bernie's" for around the same price.

I was just checking the novelisation of “Weekend at Bernie’s II” wasn’t also in contention. I own “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” but I never read it in full, so I’ll probably go back to it one day. From what I read the prose seemed rather dreary, perhaps because I was re-reading “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” at the time as well and perhaps I should go back to it without prejudice.

That's a bold statement, but then again what other books would your top five comprise of?

I re-read “Pale Fire” by Nabokov recently and I must say while it has affirmed my belief in the identity of his two greatest works (“Lolita” and the aforementioned work), it doesn’t alleviate the difficulty in choosing his masterpiece. It is one of those wonderfully written books that can elicit pleasure by the sentence, drawing the reader in again and again.

Tender is arguably Fitzgerald's greatest work and its protagonist's decline is charted beautifully by the author. It's the book where Fitzgerald was able to unite the concept of failure, and the irrevocable nature of the past with his own life and failing marriage. It's sincere and real.

My golfing 'skills' are truly appalling. I'm all right with the theory - the physics and the technique of the game - but in practise the ball just won't go in a sensible direction. The highlight of my calamity filled, and disastrous (not to mention short lived) golfing career really came when I almost decked myself with my own golf ball - truly a sad day for the sport; although, on the plus side I soon retired.

I believe it's midnight.

Nay, Supras is integral to the healthy functioning of this forum - and the same goes for all the other associated, but distinct, users who share his IP.

There are two Celtic supporting posters on that list and none who support Rangers.Beyemystic will be on here any second, complaining about this "injustice", raving about the "hunnish conspiracy" and generally making a nuisance of himself. In fact, now that I think about it, put him on the list as well .

Who would have known omitting one letter and replacing it with another, combined with an exquisitely used "sad" emote, could create such hilarity.
