Just watched last week's episode again (ahhh so the kid had a 'Bad Wolf' top on, didnt see that before)... Super excited now

Well I've gutted my 'collection' and I feel a lot better for it.

>If I throw Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper into the mix, as old Edinburgh villains, do you think the target readership will know the difference.

Don't forget Sherlock Holmes.

> 'The Jings an' Crivens Codex Deciphered' which will explain to everyone just how clever I am.

Agreed. And I'll organise the tour as well.

>Needs a wee scottie dog as comic relief.

Ah yes... I forgot the Grey Frier's Bobby. Don't forget to give a vital roll. "Wait a minute. What's this statue of a dog looking at?!"

Gordon, excellent... but I think you really need to set it during the Festival as that's when most of your target audience (fat yanks who buy books at airports) have ever been to Edinburgh and work in Deacon Brody, that cannibal family, Jekyll and Hyde (I'm sure most yanks think they are real), cryptic clues in a tartan pattern of the kilt of a highland piper on a shortbread tin, nessie and the Scot Memorial IS a space rocket...  (and don't forget me when you spend years on end on the top the best-seller chart)

I bet Gordon's ringing his agent right now: "It's like the De Vinci code but it's set in Edinburgh..." Expect cryptic questions in the chat.

Well King... well years ago I thought he could rock but now I think he's far from great even at his best.

ACtually very early in their careers, Grisham and Clancy wrote some good novels, no matter what garbage they later produced. The Firm aint bad and The Hunt for Red October is a classic cold war military thriller. I don't know if Dan Brown's even managed that

The best 'best seller' I'm into at the moment is Ian Rankin.

Are you Spanish?

>There's only *one* of Girls Aloud that I'd feeled aggrieved about *having* to shag

What's the betting that's the one I fancy...

>just-this-side-of-the-law phone competition on Channel 5's Brainteaser

Heh I love that one... 'and if you are selected'. You fool, you just spent a quid for nothing! Nothing!

They had DIY liposuction earlier in the week...

This program is actually so bad even I don't watch it.

>But I was never going to beat Gary to it, since it looks like he posted during the first adverts in this morning's Trisha. ;)

I'll have you know I was watching Page Turners!

Get a room! Oh, you are going to...

There are interviewing Billie a week on Friday

10 Days to D-Day...

Preview of the Dalek episode coming up on R&J at 5pm.

Plus Richard vs Shakey II... the've waited 15 years for a rematch!

That'll be the famous 'red cross in a box'. I think you'll find then two-a-dozen ;-)

Fingers crossed it should be... http://www.astrocity.us/news/headlines/blueknight.gif">

He was writing a 'Saxon' epic mythology... the peoples whose oral culture was destroyed by those Frencie Normans after 1066... he was saddened that Britian never produced a the equvalent of a Beowolf or other similar Icelandic or Finnish saga
