Two's Up : The Memoirs of a Borstal Boy

"In January 1971, after having his collar felt the previous year, the teenage Kris Gray heard his plans of becoming a master criminal crumble when the immortal words ‘take him down’ were uttered by the judge. That same judge had just told him that he would have to serve a term of six months to two years in a Borstal institution. With the words of failed IRA bomb maker, Brendan Behan’s ‘Borstal Boy’, ringing in his head he was dragged away from his fiancé to the dark dungeons of Wormwood Scrubs. Little did he know that he would end up on a farm in the heart of Huntingdonshire, brewing illicit rhubarb wine, entertaining the local old folk and finding his hand up a cow’s fanny, amongst other things, whilst learning how to get out in double quick time. Two’s Up is the often humorous and sometime sad memoires of a Borstal Boy in the early 1970’s who went on to almost be a rock star."

Biography of Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche

"Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche is one of the greatest living yogis from the Nyingmapa tradition. His life story is an example of the lives of the great Mahasiddhas of the past, eschewing the worldly trappings of modern-day life and wandering homelessly from holy place to holy place, dedicating his life to the hardships of continual practice and retreats. Rinpoche has studied with some of the greatest Masters of the twentieth century. He holds numerous sacred and rare lineages, and is particularly renowned for his accomplishments in the tsa-lung and tummo practices."

"Fezzik: We face each other as God intended. Sportsmanlike. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.
Man in Black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
Fezzik: [brandishing rock] I could kill you now.
Man in Black: I think the odds are slightly in your favor at hand fighting.
Fezzik: It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise. "
