books

Most people didn't bother to pick up the books tho. But I can imagine people taking them & not reading them or as you say the books getting destroyed by weather & kids.

Sabelle just wondering what made you say people were not bothering as the peice I saw most were delighted or did you read it in the papers as I don't have them. If you are right I think its a great shame although who ever thought it up if they could think round it and come up with a better way of doing it I feel that would be nice...

I was listening to radio 5 and the reporters was saying that most people did n't take the books. That might just have been their experience tho.

Cheque books might be popular!!!

Yeah. you are funny. But probably if they were paid to read the books there'd be more takers. btw looking forward to seeing the match later on. Not sure who I want to win

Sabelle as you have mentioned the match and I know nothing about matches being played can you inform me please if Chelsea is on tv today and at what time, I don't have Sky though but am on cable and get chanel 5 if thats any help, not a match watcher but I would like to see if my friends grandson is playing and can't ask my friend as she is on holiday. Thanks a bunch...

What's your friend's grandson's name?

Unfortunately, it is on Sky Sports 1 at 4pm. There'll probably be highglights on ITV tomorrow night around 10:30

I think that's great.... I'll try it where I live but won't look very appropriate.

Cheers Sabelle. D. bes his name is Glen Johnston and he is black and either 19 or 22yrs old. He has just been bought by Chelsea from West Ham for 6millon+ and is quite an up and coming defender, what ever that means as I know nothing about the play. Do know if he had the choice he would have like to stay with the Hammers...

I wouldn't take a book just sitting there! It doesn't belong to me! What they should do is have free beer in the public library.

Trust a man to think of that...

Glen had a great game for Chelsea against Zilinia on Wednesday.

He played well today, but was taken off as he almost gave away a penalty. But he is still young, and will settle down

I think its s brilliant idea. I'll look out for one. Hell, I might even read one!

That was so kind the information above from both of you thankyou so much as I have never seen Glen play but would love to on tv so what you both did was the next best thing and so unexpected though why I should say that after only yesterday writing on a thread that there were more nice than nasty people on here. Bit of a big head me because you two have just proved me so right... PS Are you both Chelsea supporters???

Jay I am mortally wounded!! Flash is going to have a field day over this. :-) down boy. I support Arsenal, but Flash supports Fulham. :-) No he really supports Chelsea. But football as it is, we do tend to watch most matches. I've watched 3 lives matches this week, all of them good, but today is the first time I've seen Glen live. Skeeter Wow you're gonna read a book!!! :-)

Skeeter I'm very pleased you feel that way but if your not going to read it pass it on to someone who will as that is what it is suppose to be all about.

OH Sabelle wouldn't wound you not intentionally for the world especially as I am about to ask a faver which is>>>>>>if Glen ever does good and you see it maybe you could let me know as I would get the information quicker on here. Didn't sound to good about the penalty bet the team were not pleased or Glen with himself...

Jay, Sabelle longs to be a Chelsea supporter, resisting the inevitable is futile, she will be assimilated.

Jay, I used to read all the time, spent much of my childhood ina library. These days, with work and all, you get too tired..... thats my feeble excuse. but its a brilliant idea to wean people off the telly. Anyway, Sab. I HAVE been reading, I've been reading 'On Writing' by Stephen King, plus I'm still reading 'The Tailor of Panama'. Loved the film. So there.

Aahhh, Sabelle! You are a one for the gentle whimsy. But I still like you, you're a breath of fresh air. And i read a book last year too. It was a green one.

Was it about gardening then Skeet?

Jay - I suspect that Glen Johnson will soon be getting an England call-up. He is a very fine prospect and you should be proud of him. (And you probably already were.)

Andrew if i'm not mistaken I think my friend, Glen's nan, told me some time ago when he was with West Ham that he has played for England a couple of times but in the under age lot or something. He hasn't had the best of up bringing but Wendy his Mum has been behind him all the way and he has turned out to be a very nice young man and hasn't forgot who got him there "his Mum", as he still lives at home and he treats her like a queen. She went without so much and at the moment she doesn't know what's hit her because he is paying that back three fold talk about from rags to riches thats not even in it but she deserves all of that and more, but oh what a lovely!! young man to now make her and the rest of his family's dreams come true, not a thought of Iv'e made it now Mum so i'm off bye like some would, no he just can't do enough...

It's OK Jay. Assimilated? I'd rather marry Robbie Fowler & breed ugly kids Flash. Skeeter, you know I'm kidding. I realise your intelligence is without compare
