      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.

      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.
