    Awesome. I should really have a read - I remember hugging my codex's as a kid. The stories were always fantastic in those books.

    I've read a few chapters here and there over the years, her writing really doesn't grab me. Plus I associate her objectivist philosophy with the pretentious self-involved idiots I met at school last year... Maybe I should be more open minded, who knows.

    It might be a long ride from Pahia to get it.

    I bought all three of his books from Amazon. About US$13 each. The freight cost more.

    Top Tip: Don't piss-off ballet dancers. They are tough and fit little bastards and it is not a good look to be beaten up by someone wearing a tutu. (hopefully others saw the news last night...!)

    I used to date a ballet dancer & can vouch for many talents, some of which came as a great but very pleasant suprise to me. Aaah, the memorys.

    TV Guide ...does that count?

    Latest issue not as good as the last, in fact, the last 50 or so issuse's have been pretty slack to be honest, making my time on the morning bog not as exciting as it could be.
