    I was about to post the same.

    Seriously though it's great that common folk can still get this kind of stuff to read from their local library, long may it continue.:cool:

    Long live the local library!!

    I don't get the abuse Flint is taking here. It came across matter of fact to me.

    i was gonna buy it when I saw he was doing a signing at my local Waterstones, but then I was off work that day so couldn't get it

    After listening to him on Bunces show I was mad for getting it, but then I had a flick through it in the shop and its only a short read, big font, widely spaced words, like Frochs, I'd get through it in 5 minutes. Think I'll wait for the Library to get it in

    I bought it and skimmed through it and noticed it doesnt touch on the Eastwood thing at all. I thought McGuigan would have offered his take on it now, especially after Eastwood gave his side of the story in his recent book. I am not as keen to read it now.

    **** you ****.

    You just havent got the maturity to deal with the matter of fact truth.

    Sometimes the truth is bad - but thats just the way it is.

    Why should I not mention a significant part of his life when briefly going over his life story - where he killed a man ?

    When I think about Barrys career - I always remeber that incidnet - because its somethings that sticks out in the mind - and probaly left a powerful impact on his as a man.

    What should I do - not mention it - in case it offend the likes of you who get offended by the truth ? :-(

    That does not make me a ****.
