[Pacman1903]

100 pages in. Noticed a few spelling mistakes. It surprisingly not well written considering its a journalist that wrote it

Not that great a read

Spelling mistakes galore. A few general mistakes and an annoying habit to quote in makey uppy spellings of dialects

Been reading a lot of WW2 books recently. My favourites are:

Operation Mincemeat - Ben McIntyre - the greatest and strangest hoax of WW2.
Agent Zigzag - Ben McIntyre - true story of spy Eddie Chapman
Double Cross - Ben McIntyre - true story of the DDay spies
Garbo, The Spy With 29 Names - Jason Webster - great story of the spy who played key part in the Normandy landings deception

Was mincemeat the deception taking the dead homeless guy and throwing him in the sea?

Mondo, that's the one. The idea and how the story develops is a great yarn and if it was fiction, you'd probably say "good story, but could never happen in real life", but it did.

The whole Garbo story and how that develops culminating in the deception over the Normandy landings is brilliant. As above, truth is stranger than fiction.

Good Cop Bad War by Neil Woods.

Actual account of an undercover cops 14years on the streets acting as a junky to infiltrate drug gangs in England. He is now an international activist and advocate for the legalisation of drugs on the basis current prohibition obviously doesnt work and serves only to punish the poor/vulnerable/weak while the real c’nts get richer, all at the massive expense of the tax payer.

Page turner and good for snorting lines off and you can use the cover for roaches.

Edit: Just finished reading Playing The Bass With Three Left Hands by Will Carruthers. Spacemen 3 bass player, total space cadet and a bit of a fanny to be honest and a fairly boring tale of being baked and tripping oot his nut for most of his adult life. Music bits are good tho.

Good read this.

I love the quotes on Bremners hatred for Gary Sprake. Obviously included as the author also hates Gary Sprake

[Pacman1903]

The world really is a horrible place.

Interesting and well written read that
