Dont think Id ever have a reason to burn a book.

 

But, if I was going to recycle one, prob some shite from when I used to be in a book club and had to order x amount per month. Maybe this one from the 80's that shows the world in maps based on all sorts of stuff from GDP to oil to population to nuclear power to rainfall.

Any modern autobiography of a footballer, absolutely worthless. Shearer must have over 10 books out. Gazza's contained one amusing anecdote about filling a mince-pie with cat shit, microwaving it and getting jimmy five-bellies to eat it. He never mentioned Raoul Moat once, I thought they were best mates back in the day.

Don't know if its the autist in me but I loved Atlases with those graphs in, could stare at them for hours as a kid. Now I play with interactive graphs on the internet instead.

The shite you've posted over the years (let's say two), Leazes, putting it in paperback form I would burn 1/4 of it and the rest I would give to the population of the world to allow them to use it as toilet paper. Bog roll would not be required to be manufactured for at least a decade. Tree huggers would adore you.

I see "Ken". What sort of shite would that be then ? Qualify any reply you might make with important things such as League positions, european qualifications including playing in the Champions League and attracting top footballers to the club who were of the calibre needed to do it ?

 

I remember that I asked you who you were on Newcastle Online once, are you too shy to tell us or is it a big secret :D
