First criticism, should've been called Mike Read All About It. However it redeems itself with such Alan lines as "I didn't want a fat brain"

Checked out once. Withdrawn from the library. Dublin City's loss is my gain.

Right, I have done an intensive skim read after The Poke asked for his best bits...*cracks knuckles*

Ten out of ten for chapter headings

This is probably how most of us came to love rock music

You get all the juicy details. Like, all of them

He rambles sometimes

There's sleb stories galore

A thing about UKIP and racism that veers off course

Ooh, ladyboys

'Entertaining' on the cruise ships

I defy you to not read this in Alan's voice

Don't mess with him, well, for a moment

There's a bit of a racism mix-up

And Brexit shall now forever be known to me as the Duran Duran moment

That stamp above the inspirational title though
Thank you and good night

Hello again. I have gone and done you an intensive best bits skim read. I am spent. Enjoy :)

After last night's speed read I started reading it properly on my morning commute. So, there was a chair hierarchy on Give Us A Clue

Travellin Man is a chapter about the places he's been on hols. It is quite long and dull and topped off with stats

DLT turns up - so very Partridge - and Mike pranks him with toilet stink bombs

DLT did not enjoy the prank

I kept out of his way for the rest of the evening

The pranks went both ways. Edmonds and Bates put kippers & manure in Mike's bed. We learn in this tale that he sleeps naked
