    It's tough being a guy

    It's hard to bear.
    I sat out in the garden on Sunday with a few tubes of fozzies and a bowl of pistachio nuts covered in salt pepper and chille flakes.
    I had a copy of 'Stig of the Dump' which I reckoned I could read cover to cover in two hours, but what with the beer and chatting to the missus etc etc, it took me four hours.
    So I got burned by the sun and I look like a bright red lobster.

    Naturally I cant admit to the missus that I fcked up, so I say to her 'nah, doesnt hurt a bit, just a little tan, nothing to worry about.
    I had to take a bit of wood into the shower to bite, this morning, to stop me screeching when the red hot needles hit me.

    It's hard to bear

        hey, watch it.
        Stig of the dump is a childrens classic, I thought I would read again it before passing it to the grandkids.
        It's great having something in common with them. We have heated discussions about 'the subtle knife' and whether polyjuice potion is actually real

          WHS, a childrens' classic is still a classic. In fact it's a good test if the book is actually any good if you still enjoy it as an adult despite the simple language.

          I'd nominate 5 Children & It for an afternoon's reading in the sun. On the other hand I can't see the Dark Materials Trilogy being for children; the first book is OK but by the end it's hardly a clear plot (or a good story IMO).

                    Go on then I will admit defeat.... "Stig of the Dump" is a classic! and I will start searching my local Charidy Shops for a copy forthwith.....
