Aldo has done me this time. He may be an unflinching crook and gangster but he's done me the big softy. I really hope it works out for him

The funeral chapter has me in stitches... 'Aldo flings the doors open makin a spectacular entry, as only he kin, wae two Saughton Mastiffs trackin along behind him, giein me flashbacks tae fuckin Darth Vader.'

'C'moan, Dougie, mate,' he moans. 'Wur dealin wae the welfare state at this appointment. If ah wander in there wae a hint ae life or self-respect, they'll show me the fuckin door.'

Aldo stopping washing and 'dressing down' for a benefits appointment- classic

Oh my I am stitches with this. Laughing my head off at the last line of the first chapter when we learn what Bruce has been up to. Loving this

This is hilarious, I'm laughing sometimes every page. Colin Burnett has a wonderful turn of phrase - Aldo is cracking me up as a hard man,who in reality is really soft. Am loving his panic about having a terminal illness when it's most likely IBS.. Aldo is such a natural comedian and a is written beautifully
