There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

Never known an Aussie who has drunk it as their regular beer.
When I drank it was Tooheys (sometimes Tooth's) Old. Or Guinness.G U T

Old and your other dark beer is fine.
Guinness is now CUB garbage.
Coopers and Southwalk from SA are close to the best. Stout.

Hello NicoleOriginally posted by nicole View Post
That doesn't sound promising. My copy's at the post office waiting to be collected. Had heard that there was a good amount of background info, which sounded interesting. Not interested in his choice for JTR, though. Chewing my way through the "Policeman's Code" just now, bookworm that I am, and finding it fascinating.
Best wishes

Hi Curious,
They All Love Jack is not a bad book. But like many, I find the Freemasonory/Maverick/Cover up thing rather boring and teduous. Its all been done to death and ive never been impressed or convinced. But yes, TALJ is very well researched and full of lots of interesting tit-bits if Victorian culture and such. And Robinsons prowess of the English language far surpasses most of his contempararies with the JTR world. But it ranks low on my favorite JTR book list and were talking dozens here. Anywhoo, give it a whirl and let me know what you think

I'm used to ignoring the theories - even if Fisherman's made me wobble a bit for a few seconds (!) he certainly put his case well.

I wonder if I might possibly offer a suggestion?
I am about 3/4 of the way through "Busting Jack", and I regret not having jotted down, thoughts, quotes, inaccuracies, sweeping assumptions etc as I made my way through the book.
I think that you will get more from the book if you jot down your impressions etc as you progress through the book.
Cheers!Comment

Hello barnflat etc etcOriginally posted by barnflatwyngarde View Post
Yes, I often regret not having made notes. Those I have made keep turning up in odd places, like on the back of guarantees and the odd bill, having grabbed the first piece of paper I could find. As it is I read my books many times over, so things tend to stick eventually :-). It will be interesting to read this one, though, if only for the background info. I've only been disappointed by one book, won't name it, but it was heralded as the best thing since sliced bread and before and I found it full of mistakes and an extremely boring read.
Thanks for the tip, anyway, hate people who write in books, so will have to get a notebook!
Best wishes

Just don't do in a library book!
That "writing in books" is called "marginalia", and can be very illuminating, if the author is smart enough or a famous enough author in their own right.Originally posted by curious4 View Post
"Marginalia: Readers Writing in Books" is a fascinating read on the urge we often have to write down our thoughts.
