Well I had a testosterone filled weekend, shooting at my buddies. Watching bloke films and drinking beer.
So I kinda forgot to read , but here's what I have to date.
Jess Walter- Land of the Blind. A middle aged policewoman in small town USA. A man walk into the station and confesses to a murder.
This was a book more about predjudice, growing up and the crap people have to go through in their life than a murder mystery novel. the big up on the back was by James Patterson, he could not have read the book is all I'll say. Not worth the paper it was printed on if you want a thriller, as a chick style book with feelings etc. give it a bash.
Peter Temple -Bad Debts. A phone message from an ex-client sets our PI on a new trail. The client turns up dead soon after.
Set in the colourful land of kangaroos and deadly critters, the latest Jack Irish novel is again a breath of fresher air in a sometimes tired genre. The client and freinds of Mr Irish are funny and serious at the same time and the finale of the book is wrth the wait, for those unfamiliar with Mr Irish, give this a go you will be suprised.
300, FILM. The tale of the 300 Spartans at Thermopylea.
The true tale of the Battle where a handful of Spartans and auxilaries held of the Persian army for a week is a good backdrop for this out and out fantasy. Leonides and his men battle all comers in this sweaty swords and loincloths epic, there is enough testosterone on screen to fill an olympic swimming pool. Ladies please check your squeemishness at the door, leave sensiblities at home and enjoy this visual feast.
I got sent these today aswell and thought I'd share.
Here are 12 of the finest double-entendres that were aired on British TV & Radio
1. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - "And this is Gregoriava fromBulgaria.
I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!"
2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator -
"Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him."
3. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator -
"This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother."
4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 -
"Ah, isn't that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew."
5. US PGA Commentator -
"One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot,
his wife takes out his balls and kisses them .... Oh my god!! What have I just said??"
6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on 'Time TeamLive' said:
"You'd eat beaver if you could get it."
7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked,
"So Bob, where's that eight inches you promised me last night?"
Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!
8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters:
"Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday."

11. Michael Buerk on watching Phillipa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1's UK eclipse coverage remarked:
They seem cold out there, they're rubbing each other and he's only come in his shorts."
12. Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open:
"Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny, other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.
Enjoy.
