Laptop Dancing and the Nannygoat mambo : A sportswriters year By T.H. is currently being shipped out by the bucketload for 99c in Easons (Dundrum & Newbridge Co Kildare confirmed. Others possibly. )
I Bought a replacement for an "Ill-give-it-back-to-you-as-soon-as-im-finished" copy that I made a mistake in lending, and one for a friend in Spain.
Excellent for Humphries fans or, if non-fans are reading, certainly a bargain for people who think Zip firelogs are overpriced.
How does it compare with Charmin or Kittensoft?Quote:

I usually only buy autpbiopgraphies, history and sports books, but I picked this one up a couple of years ago.
I couldn't finish it, Maybe it was above me, but parts of it I just thought he was full of himself, and sorry to say having read most of his articles for the past 2 years, I think this is starting to ring true in these also.
I wouldn't recommend it.
I hope he enjoys the humilation of seeing his book being sold off at 99c. :D:D This man doesn't like soccer. Remember his 50 reasons why the GAA is better than soccer and of course being the catalyst for Saipan.
He's not on my Christmas card list.
The most long-winded reporter ever.
Just as one Dublin fan nearby commented, this finals brass band was reminescent of . . . . . . . . . talk about the fecking match!!!!!!!

I. Despise. Tom. Humphries. And. His. Ridiculous. Articles. Filled. With. One. Word. Sentences.
he makes a lot of use of the phrase" a necklace of passess". which is fine the 1st time but repeated sounds crass.
and he also makes a lot of the fact he's a fat bastid and how it requires him to squeeze into a lot of places.his mother must be very proud
As an aside, I once heard of a band saying they didn't mind seeing their album in the 99c bin, as they still get their 50c cut per album. I wonder is it the same for Tom?
tom humphries book is a good read, speaking of cheap books brian corcorans and mick o dwyers books are also in bargain bucket in easons cork
And you should have a thread called " It is all right to call Billsthoughts an illiterate".Quote:

The price would have to drop another few euros before I'd be tempted.

maybe i am, a cork legend for 2.99 where would you be going
You're not buying his sporting ability, you're buying a story. Brian Corcoran's story isn't all that exciting.Quote:

Bought it. Imagine a tom humphries book at that price, a bargain. Great writer, top class. Obviously some on this forum would be more comfortable with the Dandy or the Beano:(
But yeah he is a gah man, who doesnt really understand football:(
