Of course i'm not suggesting he was gay, you might as well suggest he was a woman

All i was saying was that James T's "as macho as they come" comment reminded me of that sketch.

I've always had a soft spot for Bernard Cornwell, he used t obe pretty much my favourite author until I was 15 or 16.

I haven't read the Sansom books but I tend to shy away from Tudor stuff as it's a bit of a saturated market imo.

Sansom is pretty good, as fiction set in that era goes. Has more understanding of the Tudor mindset than any of the assorted Alisons who write awful fluff about Henry VIII.

I've read every Sharpe book, and watched every Sharpe film, or TV episode.

Imo, you're better off just reading the books. Sean Bean isn't in the books.

I went to the same school as Cornwell, true story.
