It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come ...
...sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly because of endless problems with Ciao I no longer have the time and energy to carry on. Each time I tried, it didn't work. Each message I sent to other members, they didn't appear. Each rate I applied, it didn't show. So that's the end of it. Ty for reading. ... Read review

...sort of composite of Liam Gallagher with his Manc rhetoric and Robbie Williams based upon his lifestyle and boy band credentials, in fact using characters that have a more than passing resemblance to those in real life is a feature of this book, in fact Elton covers this by mentioning the similarities himself.

...without a how-to guide to lesbianism - something no good bookshelf is complete without. Then one day, a nice chappy with a suitably unchaste username decided to fling it up for auction on eBay, and one week later it landed in my lap. Lesson number 1: Though you may like the sound of the book when I eventually get round to telling you about it, acquiring a copy of your own may take some work and a well timed 99 pence bid. While we're at it, the UK ...

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about the most straightforward things, so what good would a self-help manual on the subject be if it didn't first define lesbianism.
