Coming over here.

Taking our jobs.

Taking up our bandwidth.

Breathing our air.

Marrying our women.

Taking our blogs.

And, now, threatening to take our awards as well.

I didn’t even know that there was a category for ‘Greatest Number of Expletives Per Column Inch’, or ‘Most Gratuitous Mention of Bryce McGain in an Article’, but apparently Jrod has been nominated for some kind of award by the National Sporting Club. Which makes the rest of the socially inept munchkins who inhabit this place very proud of him indeed. Especially as it is for Best New Writer at the British Sports Book Awards.

Of course, when the old buffers who nominated him realise that (a) being a Victorian doesn’t mean you are over 100 and (b) he doesn’t own a suit, let alone a tie, he’s toast. But we’re very happy for him and hope that this might actually push sales of The Book into double figures.

    More book he sell , more people know him and more people rant like me in this blog and will be tough to manage. May be jrod will have enough money and can get admin to manage this blog site.

    He should win because he is different from all others. I do not think we can call anyone who abuses others as writer except jrod.

    I think the simple trick to book sales is find something good / funny about sachin and write as many article in cricinfo as possible…as there are almost billion sachin fans…so they might inclined to buy the book of who ever praise their supposed GOD.

    you can see Ian chappell writing every article and praising desis. He knows target audience for cricinfo is all indians.

    Its even more ridiculous because the title is about a Pom. He has truly stabbed the British in the back.

    It’s anarchy, that is all there is to it. The breakdown of social barriers and all such shit. I hope he wins though for all its worth.

    Anyone want to buy a first edition copy of ‘when freddie was jesus?’ Only a couple of coffee stains and folded over corners.

    On eBay, bids start at £2000…

    Really cool mate. Now if you win an award, can you convince your publisher to realise the damn book in India??

  8. Yawn  •  Feb 5, 2010 @15:18

    @Dhananjay buy book online for Indian shipping address

    cb.

    DM, my publisher would love to sell it in India, but no publishers want it there, yet.

    Fucking prudes all of them. Or maybe Lalit Modi’s put the word out that he doesn’t want your books in India UncleJ. Make the next book at Lalit Modi and how much of a cuntox he is. That’ll show him.
