I know that Michael Smith isn't one to brag. But he's a pretty accomplished fellow.
Michael Smith has written a bestseller or two. But who cares, right?
Michael Smith is an award-winning journalist, former army intelligence officer and defence correspondent for the Sunday Times - as could I be! If I had any, I don't know... talent. And perhaps some balls of steel. Easy really.
He's done other stuff too!
But November 2011 is the month that dreams are made of. For it is only now that Michael Smith has written and had an article published by ultimate lads-mag FHM.
SIX, Smith's latest book boasts the volume title Murder and Mayhem 1909 - 1939 and it doesn't disappoint. He's done his research and uncovered some remarkable stories. Serial killers, disembowlment, prostitutes, walking sticks that double-up as swords - not to mention the Mad Monk's crushed nuts! Needless-to-say FHM loved it.
THE FIRST JAMES BOND:
They went with this quote from Mick's piece to illustrate the article:
"I ran the blade through the gentleman's side. He screamed and collapsed."
Call me sensational, but this sounds more like what nightmares are made of.
All the same, we at Biteback would like to congratulate Michael Smith on now, and only now, being truly accomplished.
