The Timewaster Letters book by Robin Cooper. i had to close the book a couple of times for fear of choking on my chicken sarni'....

Oh they are funny - I read them a few years ago... annoyed the hell out of DH by reading them aloud to him.

I read then as well a cou

*couple of years ago and they are hysterical

I still have the book somewhere, it's hilarious.

I loved that book - passed it on to my Dad - he loved it too.

I sat in Cafe Nero one day snorting my way through one of Charlie Brooker's books - he makes me howl with his descriptions of famous people.

ooo love that book - the hamster one cracks me up

I once had to sit on a plane for eight hours next to someone who chuckled and snorted his way through a book. It irritated the fuck out of me.

I love Robert popper and still fish out that book for a good laugh.

i love his diagrams of his inventions ie the scarecrow made of 'beef'. the one that really made me lose it today was the one when he writes off stating he is a childrens entertainer and proceeds to layout his 'show' whereby he covers himself in feathers and makes the children count down from 100 in roman numerals (etc...)

Just downloaded it onto my kindle and it's rubbish so far TBH.
Got to the Madame Tussaud part and turned it off.

Should have listened to squeakytoy

Oh i have just downloaded it without reading the full thread!

I hope I agree with the majority!

Been looking for a good read. I'll download this one now, and then the Charlie Brooker. Thanks

My job consists of reading such letters from real life people. I may just download it to see if there are any similarities.

;)

I used to have to reply to such letters on behalf of a Well Known Person. The humour passes me by.

I love it too
