If you ever interview him again, I'll sell my soul to you if I can come too! Did you get a photo with him? I'd definitely like to see THAT.

Sinéad, why thank you :-) I interviewed him once (after the Ben Folds album) and he was very much in that mould... Baz commented. Feck. I didn't know he even read here. Is the world about to end? :-) Donna, seen the DVDs and that would defeat the purpose surely!!! ;-)

You're going to have to stop yourself from buying more books until you've read all of these. I've started a list of books that I'm only going to buy once I've emptied my Book Inbox. I'm nearly finished the Shatner autobiography though, it's wonderful. Despite being drenched with ego, it's honest, charming and funny too. Good luck with the reading! Rick! That’s huge!

The Third Policeman and Slaughterhouse Five are excellent too.
