And it was!! I had 2 pints of lager which cost me £6.20, I checked the prices of cheap cigarettes nowadays and they cost £8 odd.

A few of these went down well at the local club, BBUUUURRRP

Off to the club now and sink a few lagers and they won't cost £7 odds for a pint!!

I stopped smoking a year ago on 8th of December, I remember that day well as I ended up in the hospital with a collapsed lung, in there for two weeks and discharged after having a minor op, have not smoked since. The money saved though was phenomenal, a packet of the cheap brand of cigarette up here was £7.35 at that time and as my wife does not smoke the things we have bought is just crazy, lovely going into a shop and just hand over the dosh, going to the local club later and every time I sink a pint of lager I will say to myself "this is cheaper than buying a packet of cigs!!

He has footy training this morning and he has woke up in a terror mood so god help the other young ones on the pitch this morning

Read the book and seen the film with Hanks as Langdon, good read and a good film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382625/

I love Jack Higgins books too and have a load of them especially with the characters Dillon & Ferguson I have books everywhere and the wife keeps saying "You have far to many books, give some away" and I politely say "no", cough, cough.

Visual is a major thing in anyone's minds really, I saw the first James Body movie many moons ago 'Dr No' with Sean Connery and after that I started to read the books by Ian Fleming and guess what, whenever I read a James Bond book after that I pictured Connery as Bond, when other Bond movies came out after that with the likes of Roger Moore I just could not watch them. Yet I am a book buff and like a lot of authors and one is the late but great Robert Ludlam, he created the Jason Bourne series of books and when I read them (again, many times lol) I picture Matt Damon as Bourne, weird but that is me.

I have been asked this question many a time and my reply has always been... Jack Reacher in the books is described as being 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall, weighing 210–250 pounds (95–113 kg) and having a 50-inch (130 cm) chest. Tom Cruise is... Height 1.70 m, Weight 77 kg, no way in a million years could Cruise be Reacher, when I saw the first movie 'One Shot' where Reacher was offered out in a car park for a fight, In the book some of the 5 guys were over 6ft tall yet there is Cruise fighting them at 5ft odd, I just pissed myself laughing, someone like Liam Neeson would have been a far better Reacher, my son though has watched both films and although he agrees with me that Cruise is not the type for a Reacher character but said he acted the part quite well, look at the Video of the fight below, Cruise at 5ft odd fighting 6ft odd guys.

Myself with the youngest wee Scottish terror of a grandson Kaiden (5), we call him 'The Tank' cos when he runs into you or hits you it bloody hurts!!

I am a Lee Child - Jack Reacher fan and have just finished reading 'The Midnight Line' will nip out and get his next novel called 'Past Tense' or my son will buy it, read it and pass it onto me.

Lewis doing well...so far. Lewis Hamilton top in United States GP first practice https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/45919811

I watched two of my favourites the other night as I am a Clint Eastwood fan and love his westerns, The Unforgiven & The Outlaw Josey Wales, I have lost count how many times I have watched them.
