    Having looked at a few reviews, Missing 411 has piqued my interest. What's your opinion, Subo?

    Depends what you're in to, Ponders! I bought the Western Edition (stupidly off Amazon for 60 quid) - think there's 3 more, but I'll read them in order. Eastern Edition is next.

    Anyhow, it's interesting. I quite like mysteries etc. Not saying i buy in to any of his theories and he's got a shady past (booted out the police force for some fraudulent activity), but it raises a lot of interesting questions AND some of the case studies are fairly ****ing mental.

    The guy does a lot of interviews that are on youtube. I'm not in to the outlandish claims made by some about what causes all the weird disappearances in US National Parks etc, but more about reading the actual case studies.

    It isn't available on itunes either or Kindle as it is self-published (i think that's the reason), so if you do try to buy it you'll need to shop about.

    Top info. <ok>

    Some complete sets are selling for close to a grand! I don't mind paying out the dough for books, but they really do need to be a personal interest to justify those prices. Apparently it's better to buy straight from the author, so I'll check that option first.

    Do you think libraries would stock them?

    I'm not sure. I had thought I'd try that option if I was still in Glasgow, so it would be worth a shot. Can the public request libraries to buy in certain books?

    Last time I checked to buy from the author, he didn't ship from the states to the UAE but you might have more luck being in the UK. They're significantly cheaper too if i recall.

    Clarification: I do not think Bigfoot is the reason behind the disappearances <laugh>

    I hate it.

    Joining flocks of sheep as they are ushered into a dark room only to be annoyed by the sheep isny my idea of fun.

    ****s with their inane chatter and noisy crisp pokes and sweetie wrappers as they munch down on their sheep fodder <grr>

    Aye, all of that and more. Moment some **** nudges my seat, I'm ready to go ****ing mad. Refuse to go here due to the Arab penchant for using their phones (no word of a lie, they're ****ing unreal), unless it's Gold Class (40 quid a ticket) where you get a lazy boy, food delivered to you at your seat, and a blanket <party>, and there's only 12 seats there which are spread out. UK need it.

    Only thing worth going for in the UK is the nachos wi' 'at disgusting processed cheese dip which I really quite enjoy <laugh>
