Mike Ashley owns NUFC to advertise his Sports Company and make a profit, premiership survival is the only aim, to advertise the Sports Company worldwide, and if he doesn't make a profit he will sell a player instead which is far easier than going for the Champions League money and success on the pitch.

My money is on Keegan buying well and improving us quite a lot if Ashley backs him.
"Yet again it falls to us Mackems to educate the Geordies!! Majority means 'the most', so if there were three choices and two of them got 33 votes, and one of them got 34 votes, the 34 would be the majority, and would be the winner, so, in this case 48 is definately the most, and therefore the MAJORITY. So DomMan, who is the dummy?" - SMB

We Are Now Beginning Our Descent - James Meek
Also wrote The People's Act Of Love, which i'd recommend highly.
His latest is about a journalist covering the war in Afghanistan.
Great writer.

Bright Lights, Big City. You've probably read it Chez but, if not, I think you'd like it.

Not read that, just checked it out on Amazon, looks good.
Am also re-reading Popper's All Life Is Problem Solving, which i'd recommend to anyone looking for an interesting collection of philosophical essays.

I finally got round to getting a copy of a book I've meant to read for ages, Wanderer, Sterling Hayden's autobiography.
He's one of my favourite actors and had an incredible life so I was looking forward to it. But this book is absolute torture, like swimming in blancmange. He fancies himself as a Conrad I suspect, but the result is a mess - I managed about 20 pages. I'm now looking for a decent biography

Something like that aye. I've only got sketchy bits of his story, which is why I want to know a bit more - the bones of it makes it all sound very interesting anyway. Now I've mentioned it I might have another go at Wanderer actually - I'd had a beer when I started it

Just read 'Mary and the Giant' by Philip K. Dick. It's one of his non-sci-fi novels and I'm surprised at how good they are. Reminiscent of Sinclair Lewis' 'Babitt' and Richard Yates' 'Revolutionary Road' and stuff of that ilk (same era, similar themes etc.). Also just finished 'South of no North' by Bukowski which is one of his earliest short story collections and one I hadn't read before. Pure class, as always. Just started on 'Northline' by Willy Vlautin. I'd recommend his debut novel 'Motel Life' which falls somewhere between Bukowski, Steinbeck and Douglas Coupland's 'Life After God'.

'Tell me where it hurts' by Nick Trout - it's ok if you're into amusing animal stories.
'Life of Brian in black & white' by Brian Hall - Badly written but an interesting story. And I swear page 182 features a reference to toontastic's wor stevie.
'Who ate all the pies?' - Micky Quinn's biography which is an entertaining read.
