"You b*****d! Your charcter CEO Ray is based on me isn't it?" - my old MD
"Weapons' Grade Business Tools are frightening!"
"Your boast 'More Ah Ha Moments than you can shake a stick at' is totally true, and I've got a very big stick!".
"Turning a 'Ticking Bomb into a Raving Fan' worked as described, and he has been ticking for years."
"Loved the idea that an accountant complained to you that 'the humour got in the way ...and there were too many techniques in it' - what a plonker!" Adam Gray'
"You kept both promises on the cover 'one: the humour is built-in and definately not bolt-on', and 'two: never, ever the same-old-same-old'. Can you do a meet the author session for us in January?" - HRD Supermarket Group
