Adonis is talking bullocks, but then, looking at his avatar of Yaxley_Lennon, what can you expect ?! Its a good read, and definitely not full of "I am better than everyone else" ! My advice would be buy it, see what you think, you can always sell it on Ebay, Gumtrre, etc.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woffinden's story is an interesting one, going on to be Britain's most successful world champion after the death of his father and mentor. And being co-written by Peter Oakes should make it a decent read. At £8.99 it's very reasonably priced. Only question for me is, should I buy it now, or wait a couple of months and hint about it for a christmas present. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought it on the kindle app for my phone, £6.47, the first chapter tells you it isnt going to be full of "I am better than everyone else" In answer to your question, depends how keen you are read the book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I've heard there is a special edition of the book on sale in the Cradley area that includes a set of crayons. This will let the Spoons fans colour the pictures of the tattoo's in. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It promises to show lesser toilet rolls the way to be the best at cleaning your arse . how to flush away more easily . but never actually does . best of all though , comes covered in loads of different patterns . thats why it's too expensive for the UK market , and only available in Poland , Edited September 24, 2019 by adonis 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
