I have quite few of his books and I still find The Bachelor Home Companion very funny. Which is annoying as it’s the only one I cannot find.

“If you can tie knots in your carrots they are not fresh.“

Change bedsheets every girlfriend. Classic

I seem to recall him summarising the Balkan Wars as "the unspellables fighting the unpronounceables".

From said book, after he got back from the Persian Gulf in 1990.

Yeah, about the same as my last flight out of Dharan at the end of my two year contract!

He mentioned a bet amongst the journos as to who would be the first of them to spot an Arab lifting anything heavier than money.

That's tonight's reading sorted out.

NOW (National Organization for Women)

U.S. shopping malls, restaurants, health and tennis clubs

Seek to embarrass their husbands and neglect their housework as they fight for equal rights for women, except when it comes to paying for dinner, moving furniture across town to a new apartment, going shopping for hours and hours on company time, and putting up with menstrual cramps on lovely spring days.

Well organized core of screeching, dried-up, bagged-out, floppy-tit, fat-butt, old cuntheads who married bald, wimpy sociology profs with tiny dicks and believe that they deserve the same shake as men because they have chin whiskers and arm hair. They succeed in stirring the emotions of large numbers of normally docile and well-behaved mop-pushers who then take up their cause, even though most of them think that the ERA is a liquid laundry detergent. Terrorist activities limited to burning breakfast, refusing sex and laundry service, and turning college-age daughters against their fathers. The best defense against possible insurgencies is a redecorated living room, red fox coat, or breakfast in bed.

Luckily, I still have my very well-thumbed copy.

Very sad news. Holidays in Hell one of the best, along with Republican Party Reptile.

Both still on my bookshelves.

Moved 'Age & Guile' to get to another book last week.
Funny enough, Barry Cryer's 'Pigs Can Fly' was within a hand's-breadth.
