It's been a year since their last outing. Brian, Ethel and Father
Frederick are back with more village idiocy. Frederick has injured
his nipples in a vicious moped accident whilst on his honeymoon and
no longer feels like a man. He's taken up the drink again and is
making people's lives a misery with his antics again. He can't work
out why strange men keep following him while he's out
drink-driving, though. Brian's concentrating on getting through
married life while trying to find a hobby that doesn't hurt. His
cousin Jeff (from The Office Idiot Reviews) has moved in for the
summer and is on hand to help Brian with his assertiveness when he
is bullied by the local biker, Jock. Ethel has discovered that it
was Denny who made her shopping trolley explode last year and with
Denny now an adult and living outside the safety of the children's
home, it won't be long before she exacts the revenge she's been
after. Meanwhile a battle for power is taking place at the manor
house. Lord Monty, who ordered his title from the Internet, is in a
battle of wills with his gamekeeper, Chopper. It's a never ending
struggle which, time after time, leaves Monty either out of pocket,
in pain or soaking wet. Written entirely in the form of product
reviews, we guarantee you've never read a book quite like this
before. (Unless you read the first one.) Hilarious and wholly
original, More Village Idiot Reviews introduces the most bonkers
set of countryside dwellers you've ever had the pleasure of
meeting.
Join Brian, as he tries to woo the girl that works in the local
shop, will passing out face down in super glue while trying to make
her a gift hinder his chances of getting her to go out with him?
Will Father Frederick, an alcoholic vicar who has a slight issue
with stalking be able to win back the heart of a woman he loved a
long time ago? And will Ethel, who thinks that throwing hard rice
instead of confetti in a Bride Groom's face is an acceptable form
of sport, be able to catch whichever one of these two losers in
love with her trick as they step out of the church on the happy
day? Written entirely in the form of product reviews, we guarantee
you've never read a book quite like this before. Hilarious and
wholly original, The Village Idiot Reviews pokes gentle fun at the
more obscure corners of your favourite e-commerce sites - and
introduces the most bonkers set of countryside dwellers since The
Vicar of Dibley.
In the first book of the 'Sometimes love ...' series, 'Dating in
the Dark: sometimes love just pretends to be blind', Jason Harding
thought he'd committed the ultimate betrayal. No, not cheating; he
pretended to be, you guessed it, blind. For Emma, the woman he was
stupid enough to think he was fooling, it wasn't anything like a
betrayal. It was both sweet and sad at the same time and, as people
in relationships have a tendency to do (if they don't split up
because of one party's wild lies), Emma and Jason decide to get
married. Just how Jason manages to deal with the huge life change
that is marriage is what this book is about. From getting his
specially made suit tailored to his short height, to trying to keep
a lid on his best man's plans for a wild weekend in Liverpool, he
is going to struggle to make to through to the wedding without
having a full nervous breakdown. His second best friend, Boris,
also returns in this book, although he has lost his taxi, his wife
and his ability to seem sober even when he's drunk six litres of
vodka. Jason is foolish enough to add Neil, Emma's wayward cousin,
and Terry, the owner of Jason's favourite fish and chip shop, to
his list of groomsmen. This is the fairly tragic band of men that
are to ensure Jason makes it to the church on time, in possession
of both his of his eyebrows and, of course, the rings ...
Not only is Graham Peterson unlucky in his choice of careers, he's
also been terrible with women throughout his adult life. That
changed when he met Alison, but within a month of meeting, he got
the news that he was about to become a father for the first time.
'The Diary of a Hapless Father' charts those first three terrifying
months of parenthood. With all the angst and fear of a new father,
Graham needs to pull his socks up if he's going to become the
father he always dreamed he would be. With all the pitfalls and
worries of a new father charted, this book is for all those who
have been through early parenthood or just want to know how a man
deals with all those things internally. 'Hapless Father' is the
second in a series of diaries by Graham Peterson, who sometimes
thinks he's writing to an Alien Warlord from the future. The first
in the series, 'The Diary of an Expectant Father' is available on
Amazon.
There are all sorts of idiots we have to work with every day. Every
office has them. Fortunately for most of us idiots in the work
place are few and far between. However, Hogsbottom Plugs, 'the home
of bath plugs' has a higher concentrate than other work places,
from the MD down to the cleaner, they're all Idiots. Read the
trails and tribulations of this idiotic workforce as they explain
their recent life events through reviews of things they've brought.
There's Donald, who try as hard as does simply cannot get the
office junior to notice him, let alone drink some of his special,
sleeping tablet ladened tea. Learn how Jeff, gets his own back on
the people who mock him by re-enacted a video he saw on Youtube
involving Seagulls and watch on in horror as the over-worked
cleaner tries to solve the mystery of who is making his job of
cleaning the toilets worse than a job cleaning toilets is already.
If you've ever worked in an office, then this is the book for you.
You'll recognise the office sex pest, the liar and the moaning
admin worker who's been there longer than the chairs. Written in
the form of product reviews, The Office Idiot Reviews is the second
in the series of 'Idiot Review' Books from Pete Sortwell. "Many
books claim to be 'Laugh out Loud' This one is." Amazon Reviewer.
Things were looking up for Graham Peterson in both his career and
his love life at the end of the last book, 'The Diary Of A Hapless
Father: months 0-3', but things were never going to stay sweet in
Graham's garden for long. Having had his proposal to Alison refused
and at risk of losing his new job before he even starts, 2013 isn't
off to a good start at all. One of the only things keeping poor old
Graham going is knowing that the first three terrifying months of
his son Charlie's life are behind him. Over the course of six
months, in 'The Diary Of An Inexperienced Father' Graham realises
just how inexperienced he is not only at being a father, but also
in his other relationships and outlook on life. The only question
is, can Graham get his life on track before Charlie is old enough
to form an opinion of his dad?
In 2012 Pete Sortwell did something no one had ever done before: he
wrote a book based entirely on Amazon product reviews. The book was
so successful, he wrote a series. The series was so successful, he
spent the next year releasing other projects he'd been working on.
Now, for the first time the stories he wrote while learning his
craft are available on Kindle and in paperback. From people stuck
on roofs, to stalkers following their wives, to weight watchers'
meetings, this book is filled with oddballs, thieves, lowlifes, and
other such lovelies. This book also contains the side story to
Pete's debut novel 'So Low, So High', so if you're interested in
finding out more about Fred, then this is the place. Short stories:
Noang lish Hero Lose-lose So low, so high WeighTWATcherS
Multi-storey Apt Pupil One flew over the policeman's bonnet Win-win
Inside I'm dancing *Contained in this book are also samples of all
Pete's other books. The short stories amount to around eleven
thousand words.
Not only is Graham Peterson unlucky in his choice of careers, he's
also been terrible with women throughout his adult life. That
changes when he meets Alison on a work night out. Unfortunately for
Graham, however, things change so drastically that within a month
of dating Alison he gets the news that he's about to become a
father for the first time. 'The Diary of an Expectant Father'
charts the months leading up to what should be the happiest day of
a young couple's life, but with a relationship so new and a career
so bad, can Graham keep everything together for the sake of his
unborn child? With all the pitfalls and worries of an expectant
father charted, this book is for all those who have been through
pregnancy or just want to know how a man deals with all these
things internally. 'Expectant Father' is the first in a series of
diaries by Graham Peterson, who sometimes thinks he's writing to an
Alien Warlord from the future. The next in the series, 'The Diary
of a Hapless Father: Months 1-3', charts those first three
terrifying months of parenthood.
We've all seen the news over the last few years, watching in wonder
and disbelief at the situations the people entrusted to run the
country get themselves into and then proceed to lie their way out
of. Just imagine, and this won't be hard, that they were so stupid
that they wrote reviews of the items that got them into or out of
their latest bit of trouble and posted them online. Ted Williebond
is angry, not only at having to settle for running the opposition,
but also for the bullying he had to endure at school by Cameron
Davies and Gary Osburn, who now run the Government and don't mind
pointing that out to Ted every time they see him. Join Ted as he
foolishly leaves reviews of such items as Silly String, vodka and
thick curtains as he tries his hardest to bring down the coalition.
On the other side of the fence we've got Daniel Dangly, a foolhardy
old school politician from Southamptonshire who, try as he might,
cannot outrun the press, who seem to stalk him for easy stories;
and Elouise Munch, a career girl more concerned about who's defaced
her designer handbag than the people in her constituency. Running
the show though isn't Cameron Davies or Ted Williebond; in fact it
is Betty Rivers, the CEO of Information Inc. It can't work out
well, can it? Welcome to The Idiot Government Reviews
Jason is single and has been for all of his 32 years. It's
depressing. But not as depressing as being told by his mother that
he looks like Humpty Dumpty - after the accident. With a face that
not even his own mother can love, it's hardly surprising that he'll
try anything to get a woman to go out with him, even if it's only
for a single date. With little interest in anything other than his
quest for a woman and a nice bit of cod and chips, Jason needs to
think outside the box if he's going to find someone who'll give him
a chance. Along with Barry - his best mate - Jason comes up with
the only thing he thinks will work: dating a blind woman. However,
to do that, he needs to pretend he's blind himself, which is a lot
harder than you might think ... especially when guide dogs are so
hard to come by. Eventually Jason's efforts pay off and he meets
Emma, a pretty professional with a host of friends. When he takes
her out, they instantly hit it off. But will Jason be able to fool
both Emma and her best friend Jerry into thinking he's blind? With
everything to play for, Jason faces the biggest challenge of his
life, and nobody - especially not him - can see how it'll all turn
out.
