greyfriar Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Glad that there are people in this thread who know everything about Neil and his barbarous holiday customs.Author or not, who cares? He writes books and therefore he must be an author. :bang bang:If he's good in doing what he loves is a matter of taste (as ever when it comes to criticise art as expression ;) ).Holy mother of God, is anyone here who enjoys his writings? I f**kin' do so. :smoke:http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh597/greyfriar2112/the_birds_zpsdefbf459.jpgEnter the championMe too Michael.

Slack jaw gaze Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) His attitude towards people at large is developmentally retarded, IMO. I'd still though love to meet the guy. I'd keep the topic to cars as I'm sure any other topic would just start an argument.Neil's complete attitude towards meeting "fans" can be completely understood and justified in those three sentences. If I was Neil, my attitude would be exactly the same. Edited August 24, 2014 by Slack jaw gaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I found time to read the blog. It was a tedious read(because of the interruptions in parenthesis), but it was nice to learn a little bit about those islands. I wish the haters on here would have simply read the last line of the blog before they started in. As far as the philosophy goes, that he touched on: I've always said that "you never know what others are going through," and there is no doubt that people are abused growing up. But, I think people should try to have empathy towards others and treat them the way they'd want to be treated instead of how they were treated. I know when people are nice to me, it really makes my day better, and makes me want to be nicer to everyone else ... a chain reaction. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they followed Neil's example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
