    Hey, you live in England. Is it true you only get one spoon for your whole life?

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    I have read Dead or Alive many times.

    It's great.

    I've now passed it on to my sister - i'm sure she will never read it despite all my nagging.

    Shame.
    All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

    F*cking amazing book. Read the compilation of the three. 'Fear' is good too.

    I've done the same with my gf and my mum, and my brother. My dad can look after himself.

    None of them wil read it, they just don't think of that sort of thing as important, like the majority of people I guess.

    'Watch My Back' is very good - he was writing about reality fighting way before anyone else, and way before it was fashionable.

    I get the feeling that his publishers encouraged him to try and move into mainstream psychobabble - hence 'the elephant and the twig' and others. The book on fear is really a distillation of what he covered in watch my back. That book helped a lot 2 years ago when I was going through a bunch of grief with a pikey family...

    so pikeys are real then? Tell us some horror stories..for all i know, they are like the ones protrayed in SNATCH.

    Great joke about the spoon and one tooth by the way! Its almost as good as canadians in igloos, sleds, and classrooms shared by beavers.

    Thank you *bows*

    I have now read 3/4 of the book, and what he writes seems to make a lot of sense, although I would never believe anything I read 100%. But this guy does have the experience to back it up.
