Don't leave us hanging min, you can't stop the review there?

Mason might want to do an updated version of Witchfinders with all his lurid unsubstantiated 'Westminster/Dolphin Square Pe@do ring' finger pointing.

Started this last night. Probably nae the best material to be reading offshore. Especially when I am contracted to the biggest pricks when it comes to safety and covering up sh@t that should be reported as major incidents. Always said this place will be the next Piper Alpha. There have been two major gas leaks in 10 years that eclipse what caused Piper Alpha and more

Definitely similarities between Occidental and this mob

Thought id lighten the mood after the Piper Alpha book. Put me on a downer

So I started a book on murder, death threats, poverty and mad dictators

Good read. Basically a book on the darker side of the World Cup. Like the Zaire team of 74 and what they went through and what followed the WC. El Salvador v Honduras war match, Andreas Escobar

Get it for pennies these days

Coincidentally, I read this book around March, possibly with anticipation of the 2018 WC...I think that a reviewer mentioned that the author writes for WSC (When Saturday Comes), which I begun purchasing monthly a couple of years back but I haven't be aware of any of his articles...

I liked one of the chapter names, "Tiptoeing through the Tickertape" which provides the perfect mental image of Mario Kempes dancing towards the Dutch goal for his second...even though the tournament was unfairly weighted towards the Argentinians, Rob Rensenbrink came within a bawhair of winning it for the Dutch in the dying seconds of normal time

A good chapter on the El Salvador - Honduras football war too if I remember correctly...I bought a book about it in a Guatemala City second-hand bookshop in the hope that I'd learn to read Spanish, which to date alas, hasn't happened...

That was my favourite chapter. I'm on the look out for a book on that game and what happened in the aftermath if there is such a thing

As for the World Cup in 78. If that wasn't rigged then im a monkeys uncle

Next up. On course to smash the record of books in a trip.

One of my favourites when I was a kid. Good old Jerry the King Lawler

This should be good

Damien Lewis is a cracking writer

The Colour of Time. Black & white photos given a dash of colour with the history of the pic to accompany it. Fantastic bog book


Here’s an example. This photo of all round American hero Lewis Powell, was taken in 1865

Read that earlier this year. Amazing game of cat and mouse to set up a 'meet' with the guy Viktor in a country where he could be extradited.

Haven't read the book but I did see the images a few years ago. Very impressive.

I bought a book in NY years ago of crime scene photographs from the early 1900s. Lost it moving house. Brilliant images.

I also lost another great book by a photography student in the 70s that went all over Britain taking pictures of the shop fronts of independent stores and their staff and owners. Then revisiting them modern day to find that only about one shop still exists.

Good book for any Motorhead fan

Basically Mick Wall did an interview with Lemmy and recorded it. He decided to turn it into a book after he died. Very in depth and very good

Used to read a lot but don't anymore.
I blame iPads and fitba websites.

I prefer re-reading stuff anyway so although I have this in paperback and hardback I just downloaded " The Song of Troy" by Colleen McCulloch.

Wonderful stuff
