    Long time since I read it. It's about a guy born at midnight on the day of partition between India and Pakistan. I remember that as a result he has an incredible sense of smell. Cannot recall much more just now but if you look on Amazon there will be loads of reviews.

    Two men kissing

    That's never a transsexual surely?

    Two men kissing

    I was exposed to a lot of gay people when I left home at 18. I remember being disturbed when I first saw two blokes kissing but I guess it just became normal.

    Books

    I haven't read the Satanic Verses - but I'd recommend Midnight's Children, which is right up there amongst the best novels I've read. I also think it influenced Zadie Smith heavily on White Teeth. I've a huge pile of books to read as I buy what I want when I see it in a charity shop etc...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Bollocks, it's decreased every single year since 2010.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Here we go again, the old 'vile' chestnut. It's not vile to work within constraints to do the best for the country that is feasible; to reduce tax for the lowest paid; to create an environment which creates jobs and opportunities. It's certainly very different from your views on how to...

    Goal of the Month

    What a game that must have been versus Luton. Who'd have thought that all three of the goals would make the Goal of the Month shortlist?

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Come on Iain. We all now they *said* it was costed but it was completely mad and unrealistic. None of the nationalisations were costed. They assumed that all they had to do was ask companies and wealthy people to pay more tax and they would cough up - as if tax rates and tax take is linear...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    NHS Boss in request for more money for NHS shocker. In other news, Pope wants more people to become Catholics and Mrs. May wants people to vote Conservative.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Tone, I'm not replying to you because it's pointless, not because I think you are right. My original point was to point out the absurdity of your inference that spending on the nhs would not increase. You have accepted the point.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    What are the chances of increased spending on the NHS at some time in the future after the UK has left the EU? Pretty much close to 100% I'd say. Remember that we are presently in a state of austerity. As growth gathers pace; as the deficit continues to fall; as we no longer have to send £££s...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    There was no context in the question, so the opportunity and how much it was are hypothetical. I'm simply showing that 70% of Labour supporters disagree with the Queen investing offshore (without any details on exactly what is going on), but would not decline to engage in a hypothetical...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I occasionally look at the surveys on YouGov. There are two interesting stats from recent surveys. 70% of Labour voters believe it is unacceptable for the Queen to have money invested off-shore, even if it is within the law. 31% of Labour voters say that if they themselves were introduced to...

    James Maddison sell on clause? Bid from WEST HAM

    If he's loaned out he is developing... except he's also earning £££s. He's a young lad, I suspect he quite enjoys moving around the country.
