have supported Charlton's NUMBER ONE fan and bought the book...? http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/...of_the_past_25_years____by_Jonathan_Acworth_/
ALL I WANT IS A PICTURE OF ACWORTH HIMSELF! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?! What an arsehole the reviewer is though - if he hasn't got nothing nice to say then why bother? It was hardly essential to review it.
I didn't think the review was that bad. Fairly accurate if you bear in mind that the reviewer presumably doesn't know JA and, how shall we put it, his little idiosyncrasies! Just all a bit unecessary. Does anyone know how many copies JA has actually managed to sell? I admire his perseverance. I did look out for him when he was suppoosed to be flogging them near the burger van but he wasn't so I didn't. Don't feel moved to pay a big postage charge now. Good luck to JA though. He was entertaining if a bit full on and I always thought his heart was in the right place.
So Jealous! I'm tempted to draw an e-fit of what I think he looks like on Paint and see how close I was/am. Quite tempted to write to the 'just a pedantic journalist' (who writes for the Newshopper) and ask him to pull the article. Does pose the interesting question of what is worse - a reviewer or rubbish or it's creator?
Sounds like Mr Green is a Fan of Parkinson and that is the reason he doesn't like Ackers? Didn't our moderator work for the Sun and wasn't he a Parkinson fan?
I typed him in to google, and this is what I found. It may well not be him, WWOCB - could you perhaps confirm?
I hate the NewsShopper at the moment anyway because they've ignored my request to write for them. Imagine if I got to share a Desk with the esteemed Paul Green? Taht would be a Dream. I picture Ackers wearing the 1998 MESH Raincoat and having lots of Pin Badges. Possibly cross-eyed.
One of our members - think it's G3orge, writes for them. So be careful what you say as it could be a colleague!
Haa whoops. Thanks for the heads up. Hope I haven't ruined G3orge's undercover scouting of my work then. I haven't got Paint at work.
I saw him with my own eyes next to the burger van at one of the last few games of the season, and i must say i felt like i had just seen a ufo. Until that moment i was not 100 percent sure he even existed, and he did not look anything like the image i had sort of conjured up of him out of thin air in my head. For a start he had fully operational facial features and his head was actually symmetrical. He strikes me as some kind of confused mythical creature that is obsessed with anything shiny
The Dutch once bought Manhattan for a bag of shiny beads but I'm not sure how the Americans ended up with it? I also like shiny stuff
Well, i don't have a copy of the book, but i actually think the review is pretty good. If their are a couple of errors then he should be picked up on them, without any drama's also. Don't agree the price is high, seems reasonable, but to get it over here would cost for the postgage no doubt. Good on you Ackworth, you pain in the ass you !
