Almost finished "Target North Korea"  by Gavin McCormack, an Aussie journalist.  The Dear Leader might have been out of order in the past few days but this book provides a very interesting background to the events of the past few years.
To find his equal an Irishman is forced to talk to God!

ONeill

Patrick Vietch's autobiography, hes a professional punter who has cleaned the British bookies the last ten years winning millions, including his horse that they backed from 100-1 to 8-1 one day and cleaned up on.. Also the murkier side like when a local con man tried to fleece him and force Patrick into hiding for a year

Obviously you would need a strong niterest in racing an all but if you do then its very good..

read that one aswell ONL, thought it was a good read, read your man Nevisons aswell but he comes across as a p***k, for the amount of money he has won, vietch  seems alot more level headed and likable.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Is that the 'No Easy Money' one? I bought it at the same time as Veitch's... Plan to read it after...

Yeah FB, think it was him he has been doing the rounds recently plugging the book.

The Iceman

reading "Spin Selling" at the minute and liking it.  For anyone in sales it is a good read.

To Hell or Barbados - the Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland" By Sean O'Callaghan is a great read if you can find it.

The Abhorsen Trilogy  - by Garth Nix is something I am two books into and waiting to read the third.  Great so far - very dark
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

AAAA

There are more copies of Argos catalogues in households in the UK and Ireland than Bibles.  This is a shocking statistic. 

Doogie Browser

There are more bibles in hotel rooms than Argos catalogues.  Frightening statistic.
