Yeah! And then you find out Parker made a lot of pens in solid gold back in the day and BOOM goes your bank account

I liked it too. Slow mover, but nice to see a happy ending. My top few in no particular order are Footfall, Lucifer's Hammer, Station Eleven, Mother Of Storms, and of course The Stand

Depends where you are, but frankly I think all obvious surnames that are used as given names are trashy, even if it's often done by the upper class. Honestly, "Tanner", "Parker", "Carter"? They sound like tradesmen

You've got a couple of VERY promising guys right now. Max Hopp is going to have to improve his game significantly in order to stay near the top of German players

Dude I can throw a perfect inning, just get my sister up there batting, she'll swing at ANYTHING I strike her out every time. Now have that pitcher hit strike-zone dead centre 9 times in a row - that's the equivalent. Also have him do it under TV lights (if you've ever been on TV you know it's HOT up there) and with a thousand fans screaming in the same room

More bullshit from Roblaws I'm afraid. They're just past getting wrist-slapped for a price-fixing scandal over bread that ripped all of us off for a decade, and are ALWAYS slurping down government money that would be better spent elsewhere but gets wasted on supporting the business owned by billionaire heirs. Trust them like you'd trust Rogers, or Bell, or one of our Big 5 banks. That is, do not trust them at all

Either Peugeot or Perfex, I have my reasons behind preferring the latter but they're both great

Agree, but if you've read widely you should be OK
