I rest my case . . .
For those of you doubting my considerable ire at Scarlett Johansson’s plans to release a CD of Tom Waits covers, I give you Piglet McTalentvacuum and, to cleanse the palate, Mr Thomas Alan Waits (alas not a video, but a picture and the song).Ray Banks's Page

Is the Saturday Boy a Billy Bragg reference?

"Raw, edgy, vulgar, addictive ... a superb and infectious break from status-quo noir."
What a great review. I've added it to my list of books to read, which has become intimidating. I need two months off to catch up.
Congratulations on your success.
Enjoying the community feel here, and despite your encouragemen to Chib people, I refuse to, mainly because I don't know what it is. Does it have anything to do with how you make Haggis?
why should you think that I'm kind.
I read a book, I like a book, I write a review.
(Which leads me to realize that your authors' list on the left doesn't include Ellroy)
Therefore it is a win-win situation.
Sometimes if I don't like a book, I also write a review ... but I prefer it to like a book.
It a cricket bat robust enough ? I "faired" all the time that it would break.
And thanks for your reply. I added a sentence to my review which will be on air tomorrow.
