Boxer, you could just buy the boxset if the books a struggle. Im tempted by the book too... am i right in thinking it was an odd occassion where it was written after the screenplay? Or was that something else. I heart Sara Lund :)


Well, you know, I could ……. but then I'd probably be even more confused than I am now, if that were possible!

"The String Diaries" by Stephen Lloyd Jones.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

But who are ye in rags and rotten shoes,
You dirty-bearded, blocking up the way?

We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go
Always a little further:

Durachdan,

Having finished the above, I've started "Back From the Brink" by Peter Snowdon on the Tories long road back to power after the Blair landslide in 1997.
It's interesting to see these early takes on recent history.
