This book sets itself up as a cultural and advice laden guide to life in South county Dublin (Deee-Foor to the natives)
It's not a literary masterpiece roigh. AND his punctuation is apalling roigh. He says roigh rather a lot and refers to the dort too.
The book is sexist and downright stupid in parts but has some surprisingly accurate insights. There are even one or two laugh out loud bits like how the natives of Bray regard the big moving target which moves across their badlands.
It won't win the Brooker (that's a prioze, innit?) but not so unforgivably bad that it should live out it's days as a doorstop.

Nice idea in principle - but what a wasted opportunity not using both sides of the card. Expensive for what it is and not enough on to be much use - the info could have been doubled up. What a shame.

Its not really a book. You get three post cards, the first one has friendly noises, so yes, no please and thank you, as well as useful words, such as "toilet," that one was so useful this book nearly got 5 stars.
The second postcard is "out and about" and has lots of useful words that when added to those on card one, you can make short simple sentences and be understood. All the Spanish words are writen as they would be pronounced in English making it easy to be brave and speak out.
The third post card is a menu card. It has a list of things that you will see on a menu and its English translation. As a vegetarian I found this one useful as the last thing I needed was a plate of somthing that I won't eat.
This is in the form of a fold-out card containing 2 explanation pages and three further perforated cards that can be separated for ease of use. It will be most useful to people with no knowledge of French. The way it is written is aimed at people who want to be able to say basic phrases that actually sound right! The words are written phonetically, exactly as they should sound, and not written in French. For example, "sil vous plait" (please) is spelt "sil-voo-play" and "merci" (thank you) is spelt "mersee". Brilliant idea, and also no cheating and pointing at the word, beacause a French person may not understand it. The only downside, is that if you do have a smattering of French it can be very confusing not seeing the proper spellings, but a good ... Read More:
