Books - I read very little non fiction these days - I mainly read biographies and books about aviation or football. I have read all of Ian Flemings James Bond books, most of George Orwells, and Colin MacInness 3 novels about 50s/60s London (who would have guessed that I would read novels that influenced Weller). Lots of Alistair McClean, and I love Sue Townshends Adrian Mole books, and I have complete collection of Michael Bonds Paddington books and they still make me laugh.

Top 10 Books (non sport)
Live and Let Die
Adrian Mole and The Weapons of Mass Destruction
Paddington Goes To Town
A Beat Concerto - The Authorised Biography of The Jam
Animal Farm
Vulcan 607 (the story of bombing raid on the falklands)
Cool cats - 25 years of Rock ' n' Roll Style published in 1981 - included contributions from Ian Dury and Paul Weller,
The Progressive Patriot - Billy Bragg
Spitfire - John Nichol
Crying with Laughter - Bob Monkhouse

Now we're going to fall out. Series1 of The Black Adder was way, way better than series 2 or 3. The Queen of Spains Beard is one of the funniest 30 minutes I have ever seen.
