TeckleBooks Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Them publishing types and their fancy talk. I'm getting mixed messages - better revenue from a direct order but word of mouth/sales through a 'major' like Waterstones also good as it'll drive their orders and also support your local book emporiums as well? I am buying 2 copys, one for a gift for my Bro - so f**k Breeks and Grouchos then? Harsh, but fair! Them publishing types and their fancy talk.

Nah, allegiences aside he's a good lad so by all means go to Grouchos and support the local institution. But also buy from Waterstone's if you can so it drives orders. And direct from Teckle Books so we can get the mark-up. Hope that helps Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suspecting you may not be the most impartial reviewer, but what like was the Moz autobiography? He does a four-page paragraph and people slate him, yet when James Joyce did it he was hailed a postmodern genius. Ulysses probably not so concerned with settling scores with drummers and judges though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses probably not so concerned with settling scores with drummers and judges though. It was ok, the first bit about his childhood and schooldays was really good, and laugh out loud funny, with his 'dry wit' coming to the fore, he fucking hates Joyce (probably rightly so) and the court case takes up a fair bit of the middle section, most of the people he likes/knows tend to die, and there's no chapters in it.

Swarley Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Box office... I suppose that argument's been settled once and for all... Indeed, Barry has now raised the bar so high that only starring in a Hollywood blockbuster opposite Pitt, Clooney and Jolie could come close.

Sergeant Wilson Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm thoroughly disappointed in Barry's apparent professionalism tbh. He's forgotten his roots imo.The c**t is also appearing in my dreams. (At a press conference bizarrely enough). f**k sake. Does he dye his hair as well now? He's changed!

They're entirely different beasts, Biggie, but I'm going to make a bold predication and say my book's far better. You ken the score, chief. An exclusive extract from the book to come later in the week, folks, and if you've pre-ordered your copy will be in the post Thursday/Friday. Are you excited? I'm pretty fucking excited here.

We've been accepted by the establishment already. I think its safe to assume that Ms Urquhart wasn't aware of the book's contents when she bigged us up but it's always nice to hear praise all the same. Hoping for similar recognition at Westminster so we can say we're responsible for the first recorded mention of teckle in Hansard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has your old man decided on a TTSO policy for Harris Academy yet? I hope for the sake of the children he's banned that filth from the school grounds.

thisGRAEME Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Outing me like that in a thread stuffed full of Dundonians is bound to go well. I was rather hoping you were planning an airdrop in the playground, that'd be a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
