Uncle Tommy's Diary: Warning - Includes Industrial Amounts of Toilet Humour (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

What they said about Uncle Tommy’s Diary “The British gave us much…The “Carry On” series, public schools, toilet humour, Benny Hill…and then, there was Tommy!” Craig Muirhead, geologist “I have never read such a lot of crap in my entire life, more please!” Reverend George, teacher “I fell off my seat, cried, laughed so hard my stomach hurt!” Bob Cow, concert pianist “Great stuff! Very funny, the best laugh I have had in years!” T. Blair, PM * “A book which is guaranteed to make you cack with laughter! The musings of a man full of shite is perfect for a world full of shite. Ideal reading for those times when your arse is glued to the toilet seat!” Stevie Jayne Beal, IT trainer “I can honestly say that I have never encountered a book quite like this one…One suspects that MacTavish has attempted a serious analysis of the significance of toilet habits, and their implications for society at large. At that level the book fails. Its saving grace, perhaps, is that its failure is incredibly funny, even where its intentions are high-minded.” Jonathon Chambers, the Offices of Guru Divvy 　　 (* Terry Blair, plumber’s mate) From the middle ages onwards, the use of scatology in social commentary has been a central feature of a certain type of literature. From the giants Garguantua and Pantegruel of Rabelais to the literary criticism of Smollet, DeFoe, Swift and many more, the shock effect of a good dose of toilet humour has the potential to shake up the sediments and confront the complacent. Uncle Tommy is a chronically constipated wannabe intellectual who lives on the fringes of his Scottish Highland home. He is a Walter Mitty of the toilet, seizing the day in his own unique manner as he caustically reflects on the follies and foibles of his fellow men and women. I warn you, this book is not for those who are fainthearted or easily offended by lavish descriptions of bowel movements and toilet troubles. However, if you like such things, you are in for a rare and recommended treat!
