Marc P
I am going on holiday soon and will need some reading material. Since you are seemingly a nice chap, and incidently gave me some of the best advice for a sitcom script I'd ever had, I may purchase your book as a kind of favour stoke thank you. I'll then be able to sleep well at night knowing I've helped give you some royalties.
I know that it is a detective thriller type but does it contain any of your crafty thrown in humour, or is it a serious read?
Def.
The odd bit of humour sneaks in here and there.
'Ladbroke Grove. West London. Parts of it were pleasant, upmarket professionals who couldn't quite make Holland Park lived there. High Victorian town houses stocked with Jennifers and Nigels. Vivaldi and Bruckner floating through the still air on hot summer nights, with talk of options and opera and immigration laws. Parts of it weren't so pleasant. Flats and houses stocked with students, drug dealers, prostitutes and script editors who worked at the BBC's Television Centre up the road in Shepherd's Bush. Delaney got out of the car and wondered which of them was worse.'
Ooops.

On the basis of the above extract, it's not for me, but good luck with it, Josef K - Sorry, Marc P. And Dolly's right, your avatar does make you look like Simon Mayo - with a little bit of come in his hair.
Can I just clear this one up, once and for all? That is NOT ejaculate on Marc's head, merely the light as it catches his hair.
Are you the portrait artist, bandage? You need to draw yourself some better specs, it looks nothing like him.
Thank goodness

Well! If you love Godot so much, why don't you go and LIVE with him?

That was the bit I was saying thank goodness too!

Can I just say that I have been misquoted here on two counts. 
It was in fact Swerytd who said that.
Then Dan should be ashamed of himself.
Oh, I am.
But not for this...
And, to be fair:
Dan
Lol
