I love this book I borrowed it off my girlfriends dad. It made me giggle too myself on the train like someone with a psychiatric problem. Thank you, Robert Popper.
You're v v v welcome.
A wonderful book, highly amusing, the funniest book i've read all milleniatum.
This is the 5th time i've tried to comment on this, its not easy!
Hoorah! Thanks.
A fabulously funny book. I laughed and LAUGHED and LAUGHed. My wife laughed so much a small bit of wee came out, but since having our second child, that does happen every 7 weeks or so.
The small details had me in hysterics. “Poor water boy” may not seem too hilarious, but in the context of the letter to the Belgian Ambassador, that single phrase had me howling for several (9) minutes and laughing the next morning (Thursday); at least I think it was Thursday because I remember seeing an offal lorry on that day.
Thanks so much. Glad it made you laugh lots.
Thanks so much. Glad it made you laugh lots.
I loved this book and I didn't know it was you Robert! Well done!
She bit her knee as she fell over – worth reading the book for that image alone (although the whole book was laugh out funny (notice I didnt use LOL) although I'm only up to October ..). You are sheer genius!
Thanks. Not sure of the genius bit but I was quite happy with the biting of the knee idea! Thanks again.
