Product Description
Everyone knows that their local newspaper has its own unique idea of what is newsworthy - and how these fascinating, and sometimes bizarre, happenings should be shared with the community. In "He Took My Kidney, Then Broke My Heart", Dave Spikey lampoons a collection of the most outrageous, amusing and downright farcical local news stories from the past few years. All the articles are 100-per-cent genuine, ranging from 'Fun with Ferrets at the YMCA' ("Halifax Courier") to the intriguingly titled, 'Llama Drama Ding Dong' ("Lancashire Evening Post"). Each news story is framed and analysed by Dave's comic running commentary. From the man who stole a Grim Reaper costume from Morecambe Town Hall, to the Leicester student who opted for suicide-bomber fancy dress (and then strolled through his city centre), no story is safe from Dave's laugh-out-loud mockery, as he pokes fun at the articles and their protagonists with his trademark wit and humour.

I was not really aware of Dave Spikey until I heard him on Radio Five Live the other day - he was hilarious - I had to almost pull the car over I was laughing so much.
This book is a collection of local newspaper stories that he comments on - its very funny indeed and the headlines are just genius!
Laugh out loud funny and a great buy.

What a brilliant bok this is. I read it in an evening and laughed from start to finish. The piece on Dobbers is an absolute classic. You have got to buy this book.

I bought this for my boyfriend who immediately became one of those annoying people that laugh out loud on trains whilst reading. So I borrowed it, and it's brilliant!! I love reading random stories like this in the newspaper, and this book brings them all together with Spikey's hilarious commentary. Definitely worth buying, either for yourself or as a gift, it will have you laughing out loud!
Listmania!
