The man who walked home from the pub and ended up having to be rescued by the lifeboat, the Australian barmaid who found a near-obscene use for beer cans and the Italian snail rustlers, they're all in the book along with many other looks at life's oddities, irritants and frustrations. A series of not very serious snapshots of modern life, pubs, politics, lust, food, and anything else that amuses or annoys the author. His rancour is aimed at just about everyone and everything apart from the regular drinkers in his local pub, the Goat and Compasses. The ideal bedside reading for grumpy old men and those who have to put up with them.
