Congratulations!!
All those years badgering EG to get a book out and you've gone and done it.
Bloody well done. I've just ordered 5 and posted a link on the Moyleman FB page.
I shall also tweet into the ether, for what that's worth.
Very, very proud to know you mate.
Thanks Sweder, muchly appreciated!!
Also fired that link out to my JDRF Committee members, some of whom are well connected in the sports journalism world. You never know ...
Nice work MLC - I have ordered a copy which you can sign when you are next over this way...
I am taking the view that if I want to read it 5 times, I don't need to buy 5 copies but just simply read the same copy again.
Shame Sweder didn't think of that.

You've missed a trick, Johnny Tightwad. One of my five was for you
Eek!
Then again I suppose I can now read it twice.
My copy has been dispatched. ETA Tuesday. The excitement builds.

Yay! Looks like you'll get your copy before I get mine (other than the mistake-riddled proof copy that is). Enjoy!
Yay! Now watch the libel suits roll in ... just kidding of course. Enjoy!
Sweder showed me a copy at parkrun yesterday; I knew at once that I must have a copy. Ordered today

Cheers Tom, thanks very much - hope you enjoy it and don't find too much literary offence in there. Interestingly, I ran part of it through the
Hemingway Editor app today and it wasn't very impressed. Too many long sentences and way too many adverbs for its liking. Oddly though (a phrase it would hate) it didn't much like Hemingway's writing either when I tested some of it!
Too late now to appease the writing bots anyhow - it's damn well published and will remain that way.

Christ, remind me never to dump any of my stuff into that contraption. It may just implode.
There's a local freebie magazine that lands on the doormat each month called 'Seaford Scene', to my knowledge no one reads it because it's full of adverts.
They have a section called "Who's who in Seaford?", and as we had our Bonfire Night towards the end of October the editor approached me to be in the November edition....I am after all a Big Cheese in the local Bonfire Society.
Well now it's available online...

Undoubtedly you've noticed the spike in sales as a result MLC..?

Funny you should post that. I just took a call from Eric Clapton who has also seen a spike in sales and was wondering if your plug in
Seaford Scene was the cause. Now there can be no doubt. It's just a shame BB King is no longer around to enjoy the spoils as well.
Cheers SP.
