Now before you discard this book thinking to yourself 'Jesus, the diary of a retiree this is going to be as riveting as watching paint dry.' STOP NOW. I can't promise you Mission Impossible or James Bond, but I can make certain guarantees. Within this book you will find pathos, humour, tales of 'derring do' (as they say in Victorian novels), legendary sporting moments, courtroom drama, fighting the systems and I may, or may not, throw in a couple of sizzling gypsies.
