A Very Funny Read

This is a very funny book of celebrity anecdotes and for those of us of certain age brings back memories of certain `celebrities`. In fact, some of the names go back even further than I do. Ricky Tomlinson is the ideal man to compile this book. Certainly for me while reading the book I had this picture in my mind of Ricky with his heavy Liverpool accent telling these stories down at the local and having everyone in stitches. As Ricky says `celebrities' would have us believe that they are different animals from us the mere public, but of course it is not true and they can and do makes fools of themselves just like the rest of us. Unfortunately for them some of their bloomers make good newspaper copy and are a press photographers delight. The book is full of celebrity blunders, plus their silliest quotes. It's a great book to sit down and read on boxing day when all the relatives have gone home and the kids are engrossed with their new toys. Peace and quiet, well we can dream can't we!!
