I have not been working for a week or two because my new van was in the garage with the fuel pump and then the wiring loom and I have started reading for the first time since I left school really. I got Bravo 2 zero from a charity shop and its fantastic. Its got me thinking of joining the army seriously. What is favorite book or are you reading anything good?

not sure what be my favourite. love all the john connolly charlie parker series, richard brautigan, all the arnaldur indridason erlendur series, most nordic noir in fact, michael connelly, the poet, any rand, the fountainhead, kurt vonnegut .... a good non fiction one is touching the void by joe simpson. about mountain climbing in the peruvian andes. superb. another good one is in patagonia by bruce chatwin, about his travels through patagonia in the seventies. in fact, that is probably my favourite book. currently reading the killing by david hewson, an adaptation of the danish tv series, probably the best tv of all time. after that i've got peter andre - my world, in pictures and words. i rememebr sven - OGPU Prison :RpS_thumbup: oh, another great non fiction is the incredible voyage by tristan jones. about his travels round the world in a tiny boat. brilliant. he had to have his legs chopped off a few years later. tight :RpS_mad:

the power of the dog by don winslow is a superb read as well. a fictionaled account of the mexican drud wars of the eighties and nineties. like the godfather but in mexico. the life and times of bobby z another good one by him. get a nook rather than a kindle. its easier to get epubs in the original release. a lot of kindles MOBI format need to be coverted

another one you might like is killing rage about the IRA. forget the author. shows what a complete bunch of ***** they actually were. was reading in the papers yesterday about some girl who was raped my a IRA member when she was sixteen but couldnt report it to the police because she would have been disappeared. scum

Dirty war, the m15 used paedos as informers , lots of paedos in the government ,house of lords,bbc,itv, show business, lots got knighthoods,were protected by the police ,most paedos are family members, feel for that girl but she's been used again ,stories pop up when they are worried about votes going against the government here and in ireland..
no excuses all should be shot

without a doubt. both sides of the divide equally culpable. just a good book to show that however just or heartfelt your cause, in the end its a magnet for psychos and little big men. similar to all these muslims going over to iraq and syria and beheading people. the british government are equally to blame for funding some of the loyalist paramilitaries and granting them immunity from prosecution.

read that about mI5 and the paedos. thats why there were never any prosecutions with cyril smyth et al because they would have exposed evryone else who was involved. foreign diplomats, politicians. read about elm house and you get the story. similar thing with leon brittan now. that judge is connected with him by more than just dinner parties. cover up

I believe no one ever has clean hands in a dirty war,but the strings were pulled mostly from Westminster, lots of soldiers and police committed murder of innocents but none were ever prosecuted,as I said no body can claim their side is morally or even legally in the right, even with the mass media working overtime,,
