    I enjoy creative writing myself. Short stories and the like. I've written Bill Bryson esque travel based short stories on trains (written whilst ON a train) and Kafka esque surrealist stories all for uni. Doing a creative writing prose workshop next year so looking forward to that :)

    And that's a great little extract! Definitely not knocking Shakespeare's writing, he certainly did have a particular 'magic'.

    This! Give a kid a Rowling and ask them to read and they would probably seriously consider it, purely due to all the hype that surrounds the Potter books. Give a kid a Pullman novel and they probably wouldn't be as interested.
    Not all of them, of course, though.

    Sorry to tone the topic down a bit... but I've just been informed Kevin and Perry Go Large is on TV right now...

    Must find it.

    I preferred Pullman's 'Sally Lockhart' series of novels to his dark materials

    I hadn't started searching yet, but it would've been a small search really <laugh> Ta <ok>

    And what's with the name change ? <yikes> Confused me at first! I was like, oooh, new member.

    First AP, then a million people changing their names to Colo-related-ness, now you <yikes>


    I'm staying strong and keeping mine lads, don't worry.

    <laugh> No worries. I'm not even watching it, gone for Family Guy instead, but I noticed it earlier when looking through whats on.

    'oooh, a new member' - how gay ;)

    Fancied a name change for a while, with all the 'jose leaving' stuff, felt I should change it willingly rather than when I have to.

    Good plan, had wondered what you'd do if Jose had left!

    I've always considered changing my name to Rocket Beaver, but I don't wanna risk my A Team membership.

    I hope this was intentionally written like this <doh>
    Negative, of course.

    If it was boring you, why are you over here reading the entire thing? <whistle>

    Aah good spot TLG!

    That would make it NWPJ or OT think it is usually with one or the other.

    I'm guessing NWPJ?

    Haha ... good name change. And now reading your original comment I realise it was far easy to guess than I made out. Made hard work of that didn't I. What a muppet! :)
