Thanks all, these are some great suggestions! Quite a lot of variety as well which is good - hopefully that will keep them occupied for a bit longer. Luckily The Creative Brain is on UK Netflix too, I'll give it a watch :) Thanks again!

Hi all! Hope everyone's well during this peculiar time. I'm looking for a few ideas. I work in a prison, and my job at the minute is keeping the men occupied during lockdown (no pressure). I've made a few packs they can do in their cells, like origami and puzzles and learning British Sign...

Only book I've ever cried over, is 'The Ghost Road,' by Pat Barker. Shotvarfet. 'Nuff said. I have a penchant for the First World War though, and 'Journey's End' got me close at points - Must you sit on Osborne's bed? I'm a big fan of that understated tragedy that's never expressly put, but...

Graham Greene, David Almond, Joris Karl Huysmans, RC Sherriff, Susanna Centlivre, and probably those guys that do the Fighting Fantasies... Also Bruce Robinson, though I worry he'd call me a wanker and I'd be absolutely devastated.

I think mine are pretty normal. They have their quirks and stuff, but they're the sort of people you say hi to in Waitrose when you're all buying your four pints of skimmed and loaf of bread. I like normal, and nice, and the little, normal peculiarities that go with them. For me, there has to...

Thanks for the birthday messages! It was a good day, except when I found a bone in my lunch.

Partner's just left for Iraq. Lame.

Happy Birthday! Have a great day :)
