Born in West Yorkshire, spent the first few years of my life in South Yorkshire, then moved to North Yorkshire where I live now. Also lived in Derbyshire very briefly.

Reading “Jane Eyre” on the Kindle.

My Mum is a big fan of The Beatles, so I am familiar with most of their songs, but I just love “Mr Kite” 😀

Slade’s “Merry Christmas Everybody”, reminds me of Christmases in Belgium, which I used to love and now really miss 🙁 Shakin Stevens “Merry Christmas Everyone” for the same reason!

Disgusting, appalling attack. Some of those killed were students who had just finished exams and were celebrating (this is what I have heard from a Belgian friend). I also heard that the individual responsible was an Arab (again heard from a friend in Belgium), but as for racism I don’t know, it sounds like people were targeted at random. It is a horrible thing to happen and my thoughts are with those who lost loved ones and I wish those injured a speedy recovery.

Not so much thrown stuff away, but I have sent stuff away in charity shop bags and then regretted it. They’re usually books which I thought I wouldn’t read again, then one day I decide I want them and most of the time they’re no longer available. That happened to me quite recently – got rid of a good book (which was also quite a thick one) to make room for some other books and when I decided I wanted the book again I couldn’t get hold of a copy!

Thanks for the replies. Our local cheap shop has the paperback version, Waterstones doesn’t have the illustrated one. I like to read about test pilots and some of our post war aircraft, which many aviation books just don’t seem to cover very much, that’s what caught my eye with this when I saw the picture of the illustrated one with the Lightnings on the cover.

It’s always the same, when there is any kind of disaster the cameras are there being rammed into the faces of relatives as they find out their loved ones have been killed (I remember especially the photographing of distressed relatives after the Air France crash in 2009). Such “journalism” is disgusting and sick, whoever the story is about.
