Rumble In The Jungle (Tuesday August 19th)

Long before George Foreman made his millions endorsing fat free grilling gadgets and liking every invention submitted to America's Got Talent he had a famous fight with Muhammad Ali in Zaire........oh sorry, not that Rumble In The Jungle. This one is a fabulous children's book by Giles Andrae (aka Purple Ronnie) with illustrations by David Wojtowycz that Tarzan Jane and the Banana will be bringing to life as part of the Bananathon on September 13th at Waterstones on Deansgate somewhere between 6.35 and 6.55pm.

Events organiser Nick Lewis has secured the children's section for the reading and I for one am really looking forward to it, if only to enjoy the 'acting' skills of Sean and Tom (The last time they performed they were mercilessly left on the cutting room floor) and after nine hours on my feet to get a bit of a sit down.

Hmmm one thing I hadn't thought of when me and Sean went to meet Nick. Stairs! All very well on a Saturday afternoon trip out, but after 25 miles pounding the pavements that walk through the shop back to Deansgate will be a real quad burner.

So, beg steal or borrow a child and bring them along for a ten minutes never to be repeated.
