The blurb on the back of the book says:

“Everyone should have their own stupid project sometime in their life.”

This is the tale of one such project - an odyssey around some of the more bizarrely named places in Britain, by a man who maybe took it to extremes – a serial ‘pointless project’ delinquent.

More than just a laugh out loud travelogue, this charts the highs and lows (mainly lows) of a lifetime of misguided obsession. This is the tale of a marsupial Elvis, an alternative Ten Commandments, stolen inventions, the quest for the perfect dog, biscuits brown, shootings, a monkey being hanged…and much much more.

Whether the hero is corrupting cowgirls in New Orleans, enraging Russians in the Arctic Circle, disobeying orders in Berlin or reinventing legends in Washington – it doesn’t get much better than this. (Unless it’s watching repeats of ‘Sgt Bilko’ with a cup of tea and a packet of chocolate hobnobs).

Much ado about nothing or As you like it?

Arrived over the weekend. I'll read this in the next few days before finding somewhere suitable for it to be wild released

Absolutely fantastic. Definitely not a book to be read in public (unless you like strangers looking at you for laughing too much). Glad to see I'm not the only one fascinated by the weird and wonderful place names in the North East.

Thank you for passing this on to me. I will find somewhere suitable to release it (Pity Me, maybe?) and will be buying a second copy for my pc.
