Just read this in a oner.Nae much of a book in terms of size. A few interesting bits though. Barcelonas loss was definatley Napolis gain. I would love to see the carnage after the Spanish Cup final v Bilbao where it was a battle royal after Maradona didnt take too kindly to losing

I've just finished a couple about Brighton from their wilderness years where they almost fell out of the guff FL
Build a Bonfire by Stephen North which is about owners who thought they could turn their ground into a retail park (hmmmm) pretty amazing story of how the fans fought back.
The other was Gullhanger by Mike Ward which from someone who does the TV reviews in the Daily Star was surprisingly good and quite funny (a bit guffy mind)
I lived down that way for a while so always looking out for books about guff lower divisions and Non League.
Got Wheres your Caravan a while back (think someone recommended it) so that's my next trip reading sorted.Comment

To be added to the reading pile:
This is next to the listening pile.
The shagpile, however, has turned out to be a disappointment.Comment

Another cracking read. Couldn't put it down. (I did once)
How this c@nt got away with this is unreal. A great story of pure brass neckery
From the author Rob Smyth who co wrote Danish Dynamite which is also excellentComment

Avoid this book. I was caught short at the Airport the other day with only a few books in my bag on a last minute trippy overseas, so bought this thinking it would be pretty interesting. It wasn't. I had 'finished' it by the time we landed in Amsterdam, thank feck I had forgotten I had this in my bag I bought in Norwich the previous week which I really enjoyed....

Dont get this. Its nae great. The boy has a random CV but the book far too short and seemed lacking in detailComment

Have you read Harry Shearer’s The Far Corner? His conversations with his local Smoggy shop owner remind me of some if the non-sequitor pish beloved of the usual suspects on the Stand Free forum.Comment

Bought a load of books for my trip away but needed something to read the last couple of days so chose this one.
Some nasty individuals, mostly from the US but a couple brits to.
Quote of the book - "The human meat, well, ah, it tastes like pork..... I don't know why I ate parts of people, but I just did."
Arthur John Shawcross
He's responsible for the deaths of at least 13 people in America. He had a weird habit of stuffing grass and gravel in to the orifices of his victims. Proper mannies psychopath.Comment

Im on Kenneth Allen McDuff just now.
"Killing a woman is like killing a chicken" They both squawkComment

He's a strange case. His love of killing seemed to come from nowhere. With some of the others there was at least evidence that being brought up in totally dysfunctional families with problematic mothers or fathers was significant to the way they turned out. Not much is known about this crackpot so who knows where it all went wrong.Originally posted by Pacman1903 View Post

He was just driving by those 3 friends and he decided to kill them. Absolute insanity.
Also interesting how much of these killers, including this guy, were somehow released from prison early allowing them to continue killing. I can't remember exactly but was it not this McDuff guy who, one moment, was on death row and the next, ended up managing to make parole and walk the streets?Comment

Going with that photo it's a definite no from me but she's not all that bad. Like she says she must have accepted lifts and f*cked hundreds of guys but she only killed around 6 or 7 of themOriginally posted by Pacman1903 View Post
