Tell Andy Rivers I thought his book was top notch  - read it from cover to cover in the past coupla days, top stuff

I just read The Buzz by Keith Gingell and really liked it. I bet he was good at the sales literature as well.

It's a brilliant book and can relate to everything you talk about.  The good old days in the Gallowgate were class

(Steven's on about 'I'm Rivelino' ... and he's right!)

 

Got Radge 3 yesterday afternoon.  Just wanted to say I think it's easily the best yet.  Really solid all the way through.  Loved Nick Quantrill's and S A Tranter's pieces as well.  And Keith Gingell's was a great opener.  Could say something about them all, but those ones really stood out.

And what a great interview.  Sounds like a top bloke.

Favourite stories

He's No A Paediatrician

Orgasmatron ,

'Justice' and 'Over Front' - spot on!
 
Stef Hall
 
(Stef's referring to two stories in Radge3 - buy it and make your own mind up!)
 
 
I just read 'Side Orders' by Nick Quantrill and really enjoyed it. I like the subtle hint of humour and Gus's biznizspeek when he complains about his brother poaching 'my staff'.

Cheers

Loved 'An Even Greater Surprise' by Glyn James, super.
 
Patrick
 
(Ed - told you it was funny, nice one Glyn)
 
Really enjoyed Glyn James' 'An Even Greater Surprise'. A promising talent!
 
Emma
 
'An Even Greater Surprise' by Glyn James is fantastic, thanks guys!

I've been very impressed with Radgepacket - particularly like 'Blagger' by Andy Rivers and 'Gratitude Diary' by Jan Harris - Nice one.
 
Bilbo - Banbury
 
 
Received the book today and it looks fucking fantastic.
 
I've actually read the whole thing this evening and it's an excellent collection - I particularly loved Ian Ayris and Ali Rutherford's pieces, and Catherine Edmunds as well - outstanding. Also Danny King's short was wonderfully twisted (it actually reminded me of some of Roald Dahl's adult shorts, which have been sadly overshadowed by his kids' books)
 
Excellent work.

Love your website!

Roz Southey - The Norf
 
 
I'm a great admirer of folks with get-up and go, particularly when that same get-up and go allows me to lazily ride their coat tails. 
 
Radgepacket.....it's what Christmas stockings were invented for.
 
Danny King - Cockney Land
 
(ahem....getting embarrassed now. Honestly we're really not the kind of people to name drop.....oh alright we are. Did I mention I know someone who knows Basil Brush?) 
 
 
As far as I'm concerned, small press mags like this are essential to the survival of the human race. Long live the Radgepacket.
 
Charlie Williams - The South
 
(As we were saying, we know all the celebs.)
 
 
Just been dipping in and out of the site - top notch stuff. Seriously impressed and it's nice to see someone filling the void that Bullet left. Anyway, soon as I manage to get the site back up, consider yourselves bigged up and linked. Keep up the stellar work!

Always meant to get around to say thank you for my prize of Danny King's 'School for Scumbags.' I thoroughly enjoyed it, and want to let you know my son, who never approves of anything I recommend, has become a huge fan of Danny after reading my copy. He is now insisting all his friends read his books as well  so he can discuss the contents with them.  Plus, I had to order a copy of the Hitman Diaries from Waterstones for his birthday.

So well done on promoting Danny King.

(Ed - Danny's a good lad for a Cockney - keep an eye out next summer as he makes the move into 'Brick Lit'...!)
