Description

Ever feel you’re losing the plot? Find yourself raging over sausages or parking spots? Veteran newspaper columnist Pete Pheasant turns his acerbic wit on everyday life with a series of short essays from a grumpy old man with terminal scattiness. This is a collection of 92 light-hearted pieces of about 500 words each, drawn from the 400-plus columns that the author has written for two regional newspapers, the Derby Telegraph and the Nottingham Post, over the past 20 years. Other things to ponder include talking wasps, randy ducks, Santas in crisis and politicians trying to breed out ugly people. This humourous look at life will be appealing as a gift for that hard-to-please parent or grandparent, or as bite-sized relief from the holiday novel
