Sure was- great night that was, I was so stoked to have a bouncy castle there too! Had a lot of fun on it, but didn't realise how hard bouncing is when you're grown up, hehehe :lol: Small world... Cool to see you on here anyway, I'm actually pretty surprised at how young a lot of us fishkeepers are (from the looks of this thread anyway) - Ken and I keep getting cr*p from our mates about being the "fish geeks" but it's obviously a more popular hobby than most people realise :D

Yea Bronson gives me a bit of stick for being on the "nerd Forum" abd our parents just laugh and think we are crazy. At least Im not spending all my money on a boy racer car like he did. haha

Shaun I discovered Jack Reacher only recently and have now read all the books except the latest which I have been saving. Am about to start reading it (had to re-read all my JD Robbs first as her latest just came out too). I love theReacher series. My favourite was Die Trying.

How can anyone say they don't have time to read books? :o

I always have one on the go, or one lined up to start or I get withdrawl symptoms. :lol:

I get naughty sometimes and end up with 2 or 3 books on the go!! Addicted to reading... Could handle a life without TV easily, but never without books!!
