So, what are we buying these days? My affiliate report from Amazon for the past month is just in, and heading the list is - why, good grief, it's my book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Troubleshooting Your PC. How very kind of you all to run out and buy it, I thank you.
Next most popular book is by a man who was a greater writer than I'll ever be, Russell Bulgin - The Very Best of Russell Bulgin 1959-2002. Russell sadly died last year but this collection of his motoring writing is a fine tribute. If you love great, witty, intelligent writing - buy it. Even if you have no interest in cars, this is so well written you'll love it, I promise.
Third comes Buying a Property in France: An Insider Guide to Realising Your Dream. Was it something I said? Don't forget, if you really want to buy a house down here then Mrs K will find it for you.
Your favourite DVD is Gosford Park, which I thought excellent right up to the point where the copper arrives. Then it became a very poor farce, but there you go. Still, the DVD will allow you to watch the good bit and ignore the rest.
