Re: Worst coffee shop experience
Dude, you wrote a fucking book. Prepare for being scrutinized, judged and opinioned all the way. Especially if you put fragments of it on some websites. Going away from everything written here previously by other ACDers, I'd just say this fragment is boring. But if you make millions of dollars with it, that's cool as well. Anyway, I highly doubt that's gonna happen. peaceMR Crocket wrote:Have you finished?......now who's being "judgemental"?....right wing?.....Right point 1: We were not in there !all day"..an hour perhaps at most.

Re: Worst coffee shop experience
I have published it through Createspace which is the self publishing arm of Amazon. So no I have no big book deal or million pound advance and a book on this subject is hardly going to sell like Lord of The Rings, but that's not relevant to me. Of course I can take peoples judgement on it and fully realise that its not to all tastes. It is what it is...an amateur effort on the subject of Amsterdam's drug and sex scene and my own personal skirmishes within it.
As for "nasty, right wing sense of entitlement over others"???.......lets be honest here eh lads?.....what the fuck would a right winger be doing enjoying the delights of Amsterdam?..Id be more likely to be advocating the closing down of the place don't you think?
I'm just wondering that if I had not mentioned on my original post that it was part of a book I had written perhaps my post would not have drawn any attention at all.......like most of the countless other posts on this thread?...Hmmmmm eh?

Re: Worst coffee shop experience
As I have said earlier its not going or will ever go anywhere near any "publisher"...the publisher is I alone and I'm more than happy with my pathetic effort.
.....so......just how many of you wise sages have written anything crap or otherwise?

Re: Worst coffee shop experience
Listen...when you've published a book about Bradford City Football Club (as I also have) you develop a thick skin and learn to take all the shit that folk can throw at you. So you guys are pussycats in comparison. 
Re: Worst coffee shop experience
And there starts a dick-measuring contest. As a sports journalist i must say, you have some problems mate:D Learn to chill out, and stop giving shit about others:) Opinion is like ass, we all have one.

Re: Worst coffee shop experience
What problems are you referring to?......I think you are advocating that I Chill out and not give a rats about others opinions?........I don't mate.....
as a "sports journalist " I'd have thought you would have made greater sense??
