this is from "You couldn't make it up" by Richard Littlejohn:

Well I'm convinced
As an asylum seeker, I have been persuaded by this book to return to my homeland and face torture, rather than be trapped on an island of fat, tiny-brained bigots epitomised by this ringpiece. Everything they told me about infidels is true!

by Abdullah abdullah abdullah

Mr. Dm Harris "doctorcamel"
Never judge a book by its cover. Advice that can be safely ignored when the cover in question has the name 'Richard Littlejohn' on it. The man's head seems to be filled with evil worms and nonsense. Reading this is like being ranted at by a methed-up tramp, but with none of the charm. I notice people who bought this book also bought 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Last of the Summer Wine'. Plainly, Littlejohn's core audience consists of the deranged. The sort of people who eat vests and screech at blue cars.

The Chemical Engineers handbook (the bible of my profession, known simply as Perry)

	Quote:
	Perry has outdone himself once again. The seventh edition is even more of a show-stopper than the previous editions. I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting, unable to put it down for a moment, not even to relieve myself! The molecular weights were so accurate and the heats of reaction made my spine tingle. Once I reached the section discussing distillation and tray efficiencies I new I was hooked. I won't give away the ending but it's definitely a shocker. Bravo to Mr. Perry's and I am counting the days to the release of your 9th edition!

"This movie is just 2 hours of sylvetster stalonne rambling on about something or other(probally homosexuallity) and i for one was more impressed with rocky 3 cause it had Mr. T"

Brilliant!

One of my favourites is for This is Spinal Tap

	Quote:
	If you’re going to make such an excellent documentary, why make it about about a band that nobody has ever heard of? Getting similar behind-the-scenes footage on the Who, The Stones, or Genesis would have been a monumental achievment in documentary cinema. But Spinal Pap?
