Geo V Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 I havent read it but there is only one proper yes man for me.

Geo V Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Try and read it mate, it's quality. The man has a way with words, it's so funny. I`ll keep a look out for it. I presume the author isnt the former Southampton and Man Utd striker??!
Daggers Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 The fundamental mindset of 'positivity' is one that I'd like to adopt...but I reckon few can attain such a state that Danny achieves. Whereas anyone can roll a die: The Dice Man

Have read it and enjoyed it. Have you read any of his other books? Him and Dave Gorman write some shit hot books.

Ric Flair Posted 14 May 2007 Author Posted 14 May 2007 Yeah and erm... Tony Hawks.In the middle of reading all those 3's work. Very good for a lighthearted read. They are very clever, they know that even if they get themselves in £50,000 worth of debt from the various crazy things they do such as flying around the world for no reason. The story they get out of it will more than pay for it.
The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Recommend in particular.. Around Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks. Very anecdotal style. Really enjoyed it.
The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Anyone read 'The Timewaster Letters' - really really funny. ??
Lord Nibblington Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Anyone read 'The Timewaster Letters' - really really funny.?? Oh Yes. Actually, have you looked over the second lot of the Timewaster Letters? I felt dissapointed. It seemed he'd used up all his great ideas for the first book. I might write him a letter about it.

It seemed he'd used up all his great ideas for the first book. I might write him a letter about it. I quite enjoyed it, but the first one is certainly better. He seemed to get more people engaged in ridiculous conversations in the first book... the second seemed full of people ignoring/merely humouring him. Well worth checking out though.
Ric Flair Posted 14 May 2007 Author Posted 14 May 2007 Anyone read 'The Timewaster Letters' - really really funny.?? What a book that is, makes you want to come up with a pioneering idea for a comical book. It's about time I read it again.
The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Yeah - it's one of those you can read and re-read. I'm also reading Kostova - The Historian at the moment, which I'd recommend.

I found that the problem with the second one was that a lot of his letters were obviously stupid right from the start. Rather than building it up and suckering them in with some first class idiotry. But, as said, still a good book.
The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 You might be right there mate. I reckon it's right up Fez's street anyway. If I can find mine, I might mail it to him.
