Review
'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
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).

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 was very funny in places, however I found some topics to be drawn out and therefore this lost some of its wit and charm.
If you like the TV show, you will enjoy this book.
The book will be best enjoyed in your lighter moments due to the frivolous content.
Overall a fun read!
