    Oh, and by the way I stopped reading after we got to 10-1. I assume it all went well after that.:(

    Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve everything that came after 10-1…

    @ukjetsfan, I enjoyed your book. It brought back many memories of things I remembered and forgot about. I also left you a review on Amazon. Thx!

    I left you a review but last night the wife informed me that a review had been deleted for bad language/sexual content?

    The word they didn't like ( I presume) was DUMB

    Yup, DUMB

    I started the review with "If you're a Dumb old Jets fan you will love this book, Unfortunately, it will also remind you of better times"

    There was a little bit more but it seems they take the hardline on Amazon in the review section, makes me wonder how I've read all those funny ones in the past?

    The Amazon review system is weird. A few years ago I wrote a history book with a legitimate publisher. Some guy wrote a review saying my book was ‘mostly fake’. I complained over and over again to Amazon that this was a serious criticism for a historian and was damaging to my reputation, especially as there was no evidence offered to back up the claim… Amazon said it wasn’t against their review policies.

    But apparently ‘dumb’ is!

    Thanks for trying, though!

    I got the book.

    I am traveling to UK in 10 days. Between May 27th and June 7th. I will be in London between May 27th and June 1st then in Chippenham between June 1st and June 7th. How can I make you sign my book? :)

    Well, you could MAKE me sign it by kidnapping one of my kids or something?

    But I’m sure we’ll find an easier way! I will be in touch with an idea I have…
