That's a terrific book. I've enjoyed his other books too in spite / because of his United hating. I never thought I'd read and enjoy a book about the Summerbee family
Yeah I read that too and enjoyed it. Nice to see Nicky's a Utd fan!

To further disgrace my abhorent spelling and punctuation, a book entitled Eats,shoots and leaves. (the author's name escapes me). It's a hilarious book of about all things proper punctuation and grammar.

read that book this past summer, very informative account of the IRA, how do you enjoy it??
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:53 amI had really enjoyed it. I thought it was fairly non-partisan as far as the power struggles. It read like a text book however and I secretly enjoyed that I think.I felt it thrilling that they published some of the things that were up till then yet unpublished (the constitution,etc) It kinda put me on the lookout for a historical American account/view of the gun-running and money funnel from here. I thought it highly interesting that Adams ended up doing the very thing that was the cause of so much internal unrest in the late 60s early 70s and accomplished something with it in the late 90s.Makes me wanna go play chess.What was your thoughts on the book?

Why this fascination with people who drink?
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:37 amtoday i bought a very silly laugh-out-loud book called '1966 and all that' by Private Eye journalist Craig Brown. Synopsis: 'All the modern history that you can't remember, narrated in a way you can't begin to understand'.
Lots of bad puns and send-ups about stuff like the Serviette Union, Samuel Pepys Dairy & Acker Bilko (the bowler hatted American sergeant thrilled TV audiences with his outrageous humour & haunting clarinet).
