hypochondriac Posted 23 May, 2010 Share Posted 23 May, 2010 Just got off the phone with Jimmy (big Gabe as he is also known.) Fuming does not begin to describe his reaction. His voice was shaking when I informed him about this. Cheers Echo, you've probably hastened his entry to the grave. D*ckheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 23 May, 2010 Share Posted 23 May, 2010 Someone's trying to talk Frank Saul down off a tall building somewhere, apparently. I believe Frank's exact words were "how could they confuse me with that fat b*stard." I'm not sure they got on too well and I have a suspicion that sh*t could very well go down over this. If these two end up dead or horribly maimed then we all know who is to blame. The Echo have blood on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 OMG they actually name Frank twice in that picture, I demand that the Echo pay for a business class ticket to come back to the UK so I can be given a corrected re-print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 24 May, 2010 Share Posted 24 May, 2010 This book is riddled with errors, a very slapdash publication which could have been 100 times better if they had spent more than an afternoon cobbling it together.

I think we found 8 errors on the first page. We have written and complained to the Echo I thought we found 9? I enjoyed writing that letter with you, look forward to their response.

Dimond Geezer Posted 25 May, 2010 Share Posted 25 May, 2010 My 9 year old son bought me this last week. He saw it in the newsagents and said to Mrs. Geezer, that he should buy it for me because I'm "building our house". I was quite touched when he said that to me and thought it was a lovely gesture. :goodman: Now I'm bitterly disappointed that the selfish little scrote didn't check through it first, buying me something that is factually incorrect. :axe: Is that all I mean to him? I’ll get the little b******, I’ll brick-up the doorway to his bedroom when he sleeps tonight. :mad: Am i the only one who actually thought it was pretty good? No Jeff, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I'll get over the disappointment of Frank Saul & Jimmy Gabrialbeing muddled. There are some great photos in their. As long as it's not used as in 'A'-level sports studies as a definitive history of SFC, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
