    Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.

    Old bastard? That man is so hard he could be used to cut diamond.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Ralph Fiennes is an actor, and a distant cousin to Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wickham-Fiennes (usually simply Ranulph Fiennes) who is an explorer.

    Wikipedia entry: Sir Ranulph Fiennes

    I particularly like the story of the frostbitten fingers, the garden shed and the electric saw!

    I recommend The Feathermen, and The Sett. Both are excellent books. The Sett will get you thinking.

    Read the Feathermen some time ago. Good yarn. That bit about how they set up the car crash was truly amazing. Will read the Sett in the next two or three books.

    I once read a book of this genre about the assassanation of Saddam Hussain. It was based on a photograph of Hussain not wearing a side arm. All I can remember in detail was a group of snipers were secreted in Iraq in a shipping container. Any info on that.

    The other book and once again can not remember the title but it was about a covert assassanation team that targeted members of the IRA in Ireland and abroad. They were a stand alone unit. They were so secret that no funding was available for operations lest it be discovedred. Any ideas on these two books??

    I've met this guy a couple of times. The first time was when he was an after dinner speaker, it was difficult to believe that this guy, a guy who has led such an interesting life, was such a bore.

    Has anyone heard the story about the time he left his dick hanging out after taking a leak at the north pole, only be be asked by a friend what the blue thing was hanging out of his pants. Apparently he very nearly lost the old boy through frostbite. Apparently he used pencils to pick his nose now as he has hardly any fingers left.

    Feathermen - top read.
