'One of the few TV performances that actually deserves the tag "genius".' (Sun )

'Murray has reinvented the chatshow. At last, a resounding success for ITV. Light entertainment with brains.' (Observer )

'Unstoppable comedy from the joke-telling machine gun' (The Sunday Times )

'A showcase of ruthless stand-up brilliance.' (Observer )

Product Description

We live in an age of waffle, mumbo-jumbo and bad thinking. We're forever being fed dodgy information by so-called experts, scientists, opinion-makers, politicians, journalists and jumped-up little graduates. Their combined bad thinking includes:

*the idea that no one should win in running races at school, in case the losers get upset
*the idea that owning a house in France is a decent way to spend your money
*the idea that we should all talk about our feelings and that would make things better
*speed cameras
*mineral water
*hummus
*and the fact that everyone reckons they've got asthma.

Why do we believe this nonsense? Because, as a nation we've forgotten the basic elements of common sense. Thank God then for Al Murray. Together with the collecting thoughts of hia locals, he's here to put good old-fashioned British common sense back where it belongs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent standup turned to hilarious book, 10 Oct 2008
By Mr W (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This is very, very funny. It's great fun and can easily be delved into. Great stuff & many quotable lines (the bit on Where Eagles Dare particularly cracked me up).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pub Landlords' Book of British Common Sense - A Review, 1 Sep 2009
By sb - See all my reviews
  
For any fan of Jeremy Clarkson style solutions to the problems created by living in the politically correct / EU dictated society which Britain is, then this book will cause you to chuckle at every paragraph and nod in agreement at the end of every page.

Offering practical, bloke-ish, straightforward advice on subjects including: how to tell if your pub is a wine bar, how to survive a pub conversation about cars and how to escape from said car if it plunges into the canal. All of the advice is given with the clarity only achieved when viewed through the bottom of a beer glass (not wine or fruit based beverage).

Very funny, very true. 5 out of 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny, Mr Murray!, 14 Nov 2008
By J. Cooper (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book `oozes' Al Murray and if you love his TV show you'll certainly enjoy this!

It is absolutely hilarious in places and you will certainly draw strange looks from other people if reading this book in a public place! However, I did find some topics to be drawn out a tad and therefore, for me, this lost some of its wit and charm.

This book will be best enjoyed in your lighter, carefree moments due to the frivolous content.

Overall a fun read!
