BLOODY HELL, BloodyParadise!!!!! Are you me in disguise? Riddley Walker is my all time favourite book - of all time!

To prove it, I'll now attempt to type the opening paragraph from memory:

When I was 12 I gone front spear and kilt a wild pig. He parbly ben the last wild boar on the Bundle Downs. Anyway, I ent seen none since and I ent looking to see none again.

How did I do?

Seriously I love this book more than you can imagine!

And you already know my feelings about Prefab Sprout.

Next you'll tell me that you've supported Everton all your life ...

Sorry?
'Everton'? Was that Jane Austen's unpublished novel, featuring sweaty men in skimpy shorts discussing their marriage prospects in the light of their recent transfer fees?

What I still don't get, BP, is what made you post this? My favourite book and my favourite group, masquerading as your favourites. It's just a bit spooky ...
