5.0 out of 5 stars Wry stand-up material in pictorial form., 14 Dec 2007

By	I. Rands-Webb "Yorkshire Wench" (London,UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

He he he! This brilliant little book really tickles me! Note the tense: the enjoyment is ongoing. This isn't just flick-through-once-and-forget-about-it stuff. It's pick-it-up-and-chuckle-perhaps-even-guffaw-again-and-again stuff. And that's a lot of hyphens. This book has a touch of class. I have bought three and sent them to friends in far flung places so they can enjoy some very British humour.

This is an excellent stocking filler for the teenager in your life, my son snatched it from me, curled up on the sofa and alternated between raucous laughter, snorting and giggling - his verdict - Awesome! Well good.What more can I say?

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to life!, 8 Nov 2007

By	Rich Skinner - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don't Arm Wrestle a Pirate: 101 Really Bad Ideas (Paperback)

This is a hilariously funny book! The drawings perfectly illustrate the author's top tips for things not to do. Laugh? I nearly died!
