Review

Praise for The Uxbridge English Dictionary: 'Samuel Johnson will be turning in his grave ! a hiliarious new dictionary from Radio 4's comedy series I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.' Daily Mail 'This dictionary is funny ! you'll never say the word stopcock with a straight face again.' Daily Record 'A collection of weird and wonderful words culled from the award-winning Radio 4 programme, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue ! Personal favourite? Xenophobia -- a fear of Buddhists!' Manchester Evening News 'A gem of quintessentially silly English humour.' Western Daily Press Praise for I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue: 'One day people will envy us for living through the years when this magnificent half-hour enlivened every Sunday lunchtime. Ours will be known as the Golden Days of Radio.' Independent on Sunday (Sue Gaisford) Praise for I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue: 'One day people will envy us for living through the years when this magnificent half-hour enlivened every Sunday lunchtime. Ours will be known as the Golden Days of Radio.' Sue Gaisford, Independent on Sunday I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is Radio 4's best loved comedy show. Whether the teams are singing the words of one song to the tune of another, making up serial rhymes or entering the mythic maze of Mornington Crescent, they have now become the National Theatre of fun.' Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph


Product Description

With The Uxbridge English Dictionary the stars of BBC Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue had the nation in stitches. But times move on, words change and their meanings with them. Comedy's most outrageous dictionary is back with a hilarious new collection of definitions for all those English words that don't mean anything like they should. If you have ever pondered the meaning of Platypus (to give your cat pigtails), Flemish (rather like snot) or Celtic (a prison for fleas), then this is the book for you. With nearly 600 new definitions from radio's best loved comedy show, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, The New Uxbridge English Dictionary pushes the boundaries of the English language to new side-splitting limits. A must for any fan of British comedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rind - What Prince Charles Buys in the Pub, 20 Jun 2008
By S. Bradnam (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
For fans of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, this second volume of the Uxbridge English Dictionary will come as no surprise - an excellent book of word play and hilarity. And now that poor Humph has left us, this may become a unique item....depends what they do with the show. Excellent book, very funny, and guaranteed to make you laugh - a great tribute to the show...the best radio comedy show around. Highly recommended.....oh and one more definition....Propaganda....A good look :)

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest book I have EVER read!, 18 May 2008
By D. P. Hearn "David Hearn" (Liverpool; Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fans of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue will need no introduction to this collection - for everyone else all that I can give you is one "defination" - "Reincarnation - to be born again as a tin of condensed milk" - I am a cynical, hard bitten old sod but I cried tears of laughter when I read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of laughs in a small book, 4 Dec 2008
By Mr. Aj Powell (Isle of Wight, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud. "I'm sorry I don't have a clue" does it for me, and so does this little book, and there is room for you to add 'the latest', as you hear them. An excellent stocking filler!
