123 is an image that will not leave my mind for a long while. I am scarred and need treatment.
126 I'd heard before.
128 was alluded to in reviews of the books but the person in question is named here.

P123 will scar a generation of readers. I was unprepared.
More of the book later. The 'hanky panky' chapter is soon.

As was I. I suspected such a revelation might be present but to actually read it......

On p300. It's quite an uncomfortable and sad read, but I can't put it down.

Finished it now. What a thoroughly depressing and sad tome. I need to have a shower now.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it or not. It's reasonably even handed but thoroughly bleak and depressing, especially when it gets to the 90's. It pretty much has sucked all joy from me.
A certain super fan (no, not Levine) comes across especially poorly.

I take it you are referring to arch-cunt Gary Leigh of DWB fame?

There are lots of instances of horrible people doing horrible things. Some pretty unpleasant stuff. It's very frankly put together.
Is it worth reading? I'm really not sure, to be honest.

The sound balance on that video is very low. I turned my speakers up to listen to it, then forgot about it and stuck on a podcast with a rock intro that nearly blew my head off.

Sounds fine here Nick, are you sure that your YouTube volume isn't turned down?

No no- it was up full. Perhaps the sound balance on the podcast was on the high side  -Nick |

That is an excellent video. Far, far from the shallow 'this is awesome!!! Buy it!' promos that the internet business model seems to spawn. Heck, it actually works as a very good supplement and background to the book itself. I recommend folk watch it before reading.

I am working my way through the J-NT book. I am about two-thirds of the way through. It makes for some quite depressing reading at times. It does make for interesting reading as well though.

It was read.
A shame really, having read it Gary Leigh and Jonathan Powell should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Gary Downie was not a nice man, one can only imagine JN-T having a better life if he'd not been in it, based on what has been recounted.
I look forward to returning it to you.
