Whilst there are enough celebrity connections and anecdotes not to
be out of place in an A list autobiography, the real hook of this
book is that the author isn t remotely famous. The endearing appeal
is that it is the viewpoint of the everyman, but one who has had
enough light brushes with celebrity that he has some great tales to
tell. These stories, anecdotes and musings are seamlessly woven
into what for many of us will be a memory jogging, laughter
inducing remembrance of some of the major, as well as quainter,
stranger and more trivial moments of pop culture over the last few
decades. If you love pop music and pop culture, feared the Daleks,
the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and mourn the demise
of Pez, Cresta, conkers as a rite of passage, jokes on lolly
sticks, Top of the Pops and pink vinyl limited edition LP s, then
you will surely enjoy this. Please beware This book may waste days
(if not weeks) of your life as almost every paragraph will have you
frantically typing into your search engine and getting lost, on
what may turn out to be an endless Internet Safari. This book
contains some adult humour. Best Wishes and Good Luck with your
writing Ben Elton"
