>I'm a bit up-to-here with "ancient conspiracy theory" novels at the moment, what with having read "Rule of Four" (load of cack) and more recently "Shattered Icon" (not bad)

well you have just ruined "rule of four", was going to start it this weekend as i got a lend of it during the week.
what did you think of the performance last night? was terribly convinced myself, going to have to raise the game a lot to get to semi's and beyond.
