        Nice to learn more about you, Simon... You may be one of the smartest ones of us, answering the questions after your wife had turned in for the evening...

        Congratulations on your upcoming event... Girls can like both Dolls and Cars - my granddaughter does...

          I'd just worry if you have a son and he likes dolls (passed 5 years old anyway - uless you class Action Man - that's GI Joe to those across the pond - as a doll)

          Great choice in cars too

          I've not seen Casino yet wither - it's been on my list of "to see" for a long while, and is still there. I may take this as a recommendation to move it up the ist

            Sorry I didn't post on your spotlight earlier there Simon, just came across it now... Firstly Mr B Slap your self!!! You haven't seen Casino....You gotta be kidding, That has to be up there with the all time greatest movies ever made...OMGood Gracious Me!!!! I can still hear the cracks of the baseball bats, Amazing.... Simon I love your choice of favourite car, though I would have preferred him to be non lenti... Still a good choice and your score at Argos is a great find too, When Tesco's got Frank I bought one and planked one on the top shelf and the security guard watching the cctv was spying on me and removed it when I had l had left the store, put it back on the shelf and was snatched straight away. When I returned about an hour later I was gutted not to mention scunderd at the state of me balancing on the shelves trying to see with my hands something that wasn't even there..
            Well anyway Good to read your spotlight to Simon and Congratulations to you and your wife on your future arrival

              If you have a girl in December, don't worry. Both my girls like Cars almost as much as my son.
