Product Description
Product Description
Nice place Dorking. It's got a very well laid out pay and display car park, and a particularly exciting dry-cleaners located just off of the main shopping area. Residents and visitors alike can also pass a most agreeable summer's afternoon admiring the town's extensive collection of street lights and public litter bins. However, during the winter, when the cold easterly wind blows in from across the vast empty expanse of the plastics factory's car park next to the B2347, it can be a different story; the good people of Dorking are then obliged to seek shelter indoors. It is during those long dark winter nights that The Dorking Review comes into its own, as not only do the articles within give the reader a warm comforting glow, but they can also chuck it on the fire once they've read it. This edition of The Dorking Review contains all of the good things that the discerning reader would expect from a book, including a lot of words - some of which are arranged into coherent sentences, a few pictures, and a free DNA sample from someone who once visited Ipswich. For many years now, the cynical, dysfunctional, deluded and often drunken staff of The Dorking Review have produced their periodical, safe in the knowledge that nobody of any great importance was ever likely to read it. Now, after much argument, violence and bribery, a book version of that fine journal exists - which nobody of any great importance is ever likely to read either. Dorking Review is an amusing satirical collection of absolute nonsense. Any references to real people, events, incidents, businesses, organizations, locales and countries were used to give each story, news or otherwise, a certain feeling of authenticity. However, these articles were a complete fabrication of like-minded individuals bent on harassing your peaceful existence, and perhaps putting the reader's brain into a virtual comatose existence. The authors, all eleven of them, including the editor Mr. Gary Moore, the publisher and the usual gang of misfits that might be involved in the production of this Dorking Review will not be responsible for any injuries however caused, to persons, places and things, as a result of reading, believing and the possibility of losing money betting on the authenticity of the news and reviews announced in this publication. The Dorking Review (A Complete Tissue of Lies): Contributing Writers: Iain Benson, Lynton Cox, Robert J Halls, Gary Hoadley, Stuart Kerr, Stuart Mitchell, Gary Moore, Peter Oliver, Neil Scott, Sarah Steinbach, Ian Youngs Edited by: Gary Moore Illustrated by: Robert J Halls. Most of the contributors to this book met at TheSpoof.com, one of the web's leading satirical spoof newspapers/magazines, with the web's largest social group of fake news comedy writers.

Funniest collection of comedy/satire since the 1688 Revolution. Blasts Ted Noblet's celebrated novella on Kitchen Gardens into the depths of Dorking and the back of beyond

This is an excellent collection of high-quality offbeat humour and satire by largely unknown writers who should clearly be better-known. Yes, it is a somewhat random collection of squibs and pastiches, but all the better for that. A lovely read for fans of quirky humour and off the wall parody. The spoof news articles, interviews and letters etc are a real hoot.

Outrageously funny and not just toilet humour.
There are some very creative (albeit sick )people writing this.
Probably the best thing ever to come out of Dorking.
