    Anything worth while or a standard, flat retelling of a fighter's story ?

    Do you ask this question every couple of months? I'm sure I've answered this here before and over on the CBZ. :nut

    If I did ask and forgot do you think such a dip **** response is justified ? Surely your not that busy nor is your time that valuable if you used it so cheaply. :yep

    Sometimes someone just may want several opinions rather than just one ;)

    Exactly .. don't even know who that clown is ... anyway someone, possibly Klompton mentioned the book is mostly a comp of a series of articles Sharkey had published in newspapers ages ago ... I'm trying to track it down before I shell out fifty plus bucks to buy it and have it shipped from the UK ...

    It wasnt me, Im watching this thread with interest for much the same reason as you. I am interested but not willing to pay the high price without an informed review first.

    You *****! ....... I've taken the time to answer you twice before about the Sharkey book.

    My initial reply here was meant tongue-in-cheek ..... but I should realise that you like to think of yourself as on some higher level than the rest of us.

    And it was me who mentioned it was made up of the newspaper articles.

    ****ing wanker! :roll:

    I have the book, nothing revolutionary in it. It's ok, just depends on your current level of knowledge of Sharkey.
