eateries/drinking places and chose 372, which offers carvery selection. I was surprise how hot and fresh the food was. Not only that it was tasty too! We opted for lamb with roast potatoes, new potatoes and three vegetables. However, my only complaint about the meal was the vegetables; they were a tad on the raw side for my liking. That said I ALWAYS OVER cook my veggies. Dessert was for me home made apple pie and cream, while the other half opted for home made cheesecake ? both were consumed without any complaints and very much enjoyed. Our meal for two with drinks cost £29)

Advantages: Candid, vey personal and authentic, charming Disadvantages: not many, a few bad influences
I must admit that I now really like Russell Brand and have taken to catching up on his older work but it did take a while for his style and personality to grow on me. As in daily life, the more times you try to like something, the easier it becomes and the same is definitely true for Russell Brand.
Russell's 'Booky Wook' is a very candid and comprehensive of the entertainer's life history up to very recently. The book is split into four sections which span through the major stages of his life. many people who release autobiographies tend to have some input but draft a 'ghost writer' to write the most part of the book.
