*** More Village Idiot Reviews ***
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.
*** More Office Idiot Reviews ***
It’s been just over a year since we last visited Hogsbottom plugs and there’s been lots of change. Jeff no longer has an obsession with Westlife or The Jackson Five, Hogsbottom has brought in a lawyer with a height complex and a dodgy bowel to help him sell the company, so he can leave his wife and live the life of Riley with his mistress, who is also Jeff’s mother.
The question will Hogsbottom be able to get the sale though without Jeff finding out and ruining the future for everyone?
With fire alarms going off on a daily basis, strange items being thrown across the office and burning mattresses falling from the top floor, join all the idiots from the office as they bumble their way through another year of office idiocy.
*** Bride And sometimes love is better off blind. ***
In the first book of the ‘Sometimes love …’ series, ‘Dating in the 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 …
