This book is brilliant for some me-time/time-wasting evenings. I read it over two short evenings when my husband was gaming on the X-Box. It would be equally good on holiday instead of chick-lit or on a wet Saturday afternoon when the children often need attention and you don't want to get into a gripping novel. The chapters are short and therefore not so involved that you want to carry on reading to the exclusion of all else. The book is sometimes informative, but often so laugh-out-loud that the afore-mentioned husband looked away from his gaming a number of times to ask what I had just read.
In short, not great literature (I don't imagine that Mr. Clarkson intended it to be so), but funny, escapist and a great way to fill in ... Read More: >>More Details |

As the sun sets on the old millennium (or is it just the first year of the new millennium? I'm too old to remember) the Private Eye team, headed by editor Ian Hislop, show once and for all that they are far superior to Mohammed Al-Fugger's millions of unsold copies of the humorous magazine 'Punch'. That glossy rag is only one of the Eye's favourite targets, along with countless others that are guaranteed to make your in-jokes unintelligible to dinner-party guests. Buy two and give one to your partner - so there's someone else who'll understand your references. Private Eye mocks so many areas of society and political views that one has to wonder whether contributors have any beliefs at all. Lookalikes, E.J. Thribb poems, I-Spy and newspaper cuttings ...

Very enjoyable book, easy to pick up during your lunch breaks, allowing you to look at the 70's in rose tinted glasses. As someone born in '69 I could relate to most of the things in the book, but I do wish that they included Photos. This would have made a good book, fantastic.
From clothing, technology and crisps(he forgot to mention hedgehog flavour) its an enjoyable read for people in their 30s/40s. Now where is my Old Spice and Flares. >>More Details |

If herself is sitting there with her thumb up her Jane Austen ("Sense & Prejudice" or somesuch), she'll elbow you in the ribs for laughing until both sides ache, but one much more than the other. It is not just one of the funniest books you'll read, it is also fascinating to see his style develop. The examples are in chronological order covering semi-defined periods of his life and you can see how he develops ideas and structures. The piece about Leonardo da Vinci is sheer genius and, as with others, would have made a wonderful TV sketch. What a loss to us, but God must be wetting himself.

According to Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United, Ryan Giggs has taken on the mantelpiece of his team's captaincy, but there is an alternative version by Jimmy Greaves who wants someone new to take over the mantra of something or other.
The Colemanballs feature has now been running in the satirical magazine Private Eye for 14 years. The name derives from the erstwhile BBC sports commentator David Coleman, famous for his malapropisms. Most of the entries in the book are the dulcet utterances of sportsmen, but political and cultural broadcasters are not overlooked, and I certainly would not have liked to be deprived of such gems as 'They've found a chink in the jigsaw', or 'the hypocrisy is on the other foot', this latter from no less grave ...

Thought this would make good present for hosts of weekend house party and so it proved - excellent icebreaker and other guests with age range of 10-88 all found something to interest them. Grandmother knew exactly what a chiffonier was, but hadn't a clue about dongles. The 10 year old was up to speed with his techie terminology but there were a host of other things he'd never even heard of - he was intrigued and so were older, cooler fellow guests. Well-written and amusing.

This book made me laugh so hard I wet myself and my 3 neighbours on the 4.10 to Canterbury East last tuesday. This urinary faux pas resulted in my person being forcibly ejected from the train at some speed, causing a rural pile up for a passing pack of fox hounds and their red-coated masters. Hmmm...Newbiscuit-worthy, I thought to myself, as I dusted off my coat and removed the canines from my left bicep....
This is a great book, from a great website. Good to have all the best articles compiled into this handily portable compendium. Well, portable that is if you're used to carrying a coffee table around with you. I intend to carry it and my coffee table everywhere, and quote from it at random. Has also solved a few christmas present dilemmas. ... Read More: >>More Details |

It is rare that I read a book all the way through in a day, but I completed this one in a three hour car journey (not while driving though!) At 142 pages, it's an easy book to read and is like a literature version of the channel 4 series 'Fonejacker'.
There are some good letters that were worth book marking, including the poem about aluminium set to 'Oh my Darling Clementine' and the letter to the Society of Existential Analysis. The letters also give you some good ideas for letter writing and can be light-heartedly amusing, steering clear of puerility. However, this is where the similarity between the hype (on the cover) and the content ends. The book does seem like someone's hobby when bored, and the timewasting nature of the letters ...
