Ah, the parade of children through the house to meet the puppy today seems to be coming to an end. Not like I've been wrecked all day after being on the lash at the rugby yesterday.

What are they like service/coverage wise - Presume they are on either the 3 or Vodafone network so coverage shouldn't be an issue?
They have an offer for €10 a month sim only which looks very good

Very enjoyable so far. Characters have a John McCarthy/Steinbeck feel to them. Only thing is trying to dole it out a bit as I'm flying through it!
Have now ordered all his books from the library on the strength of the first few chapters so looking forward to a good read over Christmas.
Have been devouring the new Franzen book, Crossroads 600+ pages, only picked it up before the weekend and have been losing sleep to it, will be finished it tonight, if I wait that long. Looking forward to checking out reviews after I'm finished; I can imagine people hating it but I think its really great, easily his best and I probably more substantial than anything he's written. I ought to have hated that there is so much religion at the core of it but the characters are very well formed and there is some dazzling writing going on.Turning millions into thousands

The set up of him being exiled to a 5* hotel instead of the gulag stretched credulity also there were no shades of grey and felt more like received opinion assumed to be correct rather than any real exploration of what life in Moscow was during the period.
I remember you defended this aspect before but the relationship with the surrogate daughter did feel...well, if not dodgy then at least a bit uncomfortable at times.Turning millions into thousands

Wasn't the whole point that he should surely have been put in the 'enemies of the state' bracket and either shot or exiled but he had previously taken the fall under the Tsarist regime for a Communist poet? And hence got the cushy internal exile in the five star hotel.

But it was definitely well written and entertaining.Turning millions into thousands

Puppy is having a great time. Much more agile than a terrier hence anything chewable is getting chewed, including a kids exam paper and my boots."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I see our bet seems to be on track to be somewhat correct on the line of 28 we set. Up to 10 goals now in CL and PL, although the soft CL goals will dry up now.
With the following fixture list, I'm hoping for another half dozen by the end of the year
Nov 28th - Chelsea
Dec 2nd - Arsenal
Dec 5th - Crystal Palace
Dec 8th - Young Boys
Dec 11th - Norwich
Dec 14th - Brentford
Dec 18th - Brighton
Dec 27th - Newcastle
Dec 30th - Burnley
