I'm ten chapters in on Sam Allardyces' autobiography. Finding it more interesting than I expected.

Just finished this, the book that the tv series came from.
It’s a good read, but a knowledge of Italian politics late 70’s / early 80’s helps, due to the complex link between organised crime, terrorists and the government in Italy at the time.
I think it was @bluebrotha77 who recommended this ?
Fantastic book, very easy to read and doesn’t get bogged down in pointless facts, tells it how it was from the many sides of all involved.

Anybody read anything of the louche English author Julian McLaren - Ross ?
An English author of the mid 40s and 50s. Frequented Soho, was partial to Benzedrine, and died in penury.
Heard about him through this short radio documentary.

Just finished this, very well written and researched investigation, into the life of Sutcliffe, his family and his friends.
The author must’ve spent hours and hours with his family, as most of the information comes from them.
Doesn’t try to judge or analyse Sutcliffe and invites you to draw you’re own conclusions.

just reread this book last week and reading the follow up at the minute
i enjoyed the 2 books.first is about him growing up in transnistia with the old criminal community with their own laws and second is his time in the russian army during the chechnya conflict.
Read "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" whilst on holiday recently. Absolutely fantastic.

Did he do it mate?
They got the wrong man Neil, I think it was Colonel Mustard that did it.

good little book this.a very short read but enjoyable.it reads like a story.basically the flagship of the german navy sank the flagship of the british navy "the hood" and then the pursuit is on to sink the bismarck.it was only years after it that the british found out they didn't actually sink her because the germans scuttled her.the british torpedoes were only bouncing off the new german armour on the bismarck.
Pity they didn't have that fancy armour on the steering mechinism, that and the ongoing damage from the various persuers caused them to pull the plug

You dont scuttle a ship with torpedo proof armour, you scuttle a lost cause though.
Just sayin like
