MONKMAN Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Can you list the books? I was going to do something similar. He’s mostly studied Russian literature, with his PhD being on the works of Vladimir Nabokov, so wasn’t really sure what to fully expect. Was pleasantly surprised to see Roald Dahl in there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have read the Twits and seen loads of episodes of Tipping Point so I am quite pleased to say I am an intellectual now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that’s 85%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'm at the bit of the Motley Crue book where Tommy Lee got put in prison for hitting Pamela Anderson. You'll not get anything like that in any of those books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 [mention=14746]MONKMAN[/mention] starting to sweat as he gets to number 70, then 80, 90... on the list and still there’s no sign of the Stephen Dobbie Colouring Book.I’d be doing well in a list of 10! I’ve plenty of pictures of Stephen to see me through lockdown though, some of them even have me in them also. Running joke, not a particularly good one I may add, but I always get Mrs Monkman’s birthday/Christmas cards off moonpig. They’re generally of the “from the both of us variety” and contain a photo of myself and Stephen on the front. She found it slightly funny the first time, several years down the line and I think it’s getting a bit tedious for her. Her parents have asked several times why I send her pictures of me and a random guy. Will I ever stop doing it? Probably not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book came out on the early 70s; very popular with my age group at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Finally painted the shed I got nearly 2 years ago. Gonnae paint the fence and the decking, will also probably get the ladder out and do the facia boards. I've also got plans to tidy up the garden and do all those wee jobs you never seem to have time for. Can't wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
