No worries.

I always knew it would be tough to find a suitable time for all.

I'm going to be smashed at work tomorrow but may make it online. Will buy the book in any case.

Going to work smashed or getting smashed at work ... sounds like a great job!

[Doctor J.]

Unfortunately not going to be able to get there. Work is such an intrusion to my life!!!

Have read the book, and for all Sydney fans, its a must read.

[ScottH]

Yes.

Can someone ask if he thinks Jude will keep playing until he is 40?

His response:

I don't know. My best guess is he will but I don't believe he's decided. Living a day at a time the old boy!

There is a website called Storify that helps you create stories or timelines from posts on social media, which I've seen used before for Twitter chats, I've never used it myself though. Still a bit of a Twitter newbie.

I asked the Jude question at the end, only because I noticed no-one else had!

Some interesting questions / responses, thanks for organising!
