I told Mrs Gravy she could get it for my birthday. When she saw the link she said "Haven't you got enough books about fat blokes doing their bollox?"

Been reading the Harry Findlay one (see above). Not bad, but reads a bit like I'd imagine he bets - all over the flamin place!

How did you find him irons, he seems an interesting chap.
Report uptheirons • September 26, 2026 4:41 PM BST
Very friendly and always trying to help others but regularly had his price taken here without making the culprits pay,stu.
The price filchers would have abandoned ship if he had a few stopped

A genuine fella with a sense of humour....I asked for 7/2 a 5/2 poke at Brighton one day. He said "F*** Off......you can have 3's".... I bought him some prawns and can of coke after it won Wink

Report DixieDean60 • September 26, 2026 10:43 PM BST
Is this book markedly different to his first one back in 2011 (Winning It Back) ?
Obviously there is 14 years that have since passed but would there be much more to tell since then ?

How could it be,Dixie?

He could have walked away and bumped the Firms with no legal obligation to pay.
He chose to do otherwise and eventually paid up after selling assets.
He took what he believed to be a great chance but lost.
Report DixieDean60 • September 26, 2026 11:11 PM BST
Yes but all that was in his first book, what if anything is different in this second one apart from more recent events ?
Report uptheirons • September 26, 2026 11:14 PM BST
I have no idea and will certainly not be paying to find out,Dixie.
Perhaps,like Earl Spencer,he spotted an opportunity to earn?
