show 9th Sept 2010

Fun show today which was recorded on Saturday whilst having a leaisurely coffee on the sun roof of the Atlantic Hotel, on a glorious sunny morning.
I thought I would have a 'harem' of ladies but only ended up with two and a Sultan!
Babs Simpson, Di Peat and Neil Middleton were the unsuspecting guests this week.
I posed the question 'What is your favourite book on your bookshelf and why?
We had Rose Tremain 'The Colour'
Diana Gabaldon 'Cross Stitch'
Neville Shute 'Town Like Alice'
JRR Tolkien 'The Ring'
Daphne Du Maurier
Susan HIll 'The Woman in Black' elequently reviewed by Neil.
Wind in the Willows (given to him by his beloved Gran)
The Shack by Paul Young.

Plus we talked about the audio version of the Karma Sutra! What would happen if the tape stuck in a delicate spot or you fast forwarded by mistake...!

Trivia: September and back to school ….did you know that: while marking exam papers one day in September a teacher named J R R Tolkien scribbled down, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit." - the first line of what was to become one of the most popular books of all time.
Fun thought:
If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments!
