This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete.

Background
Information
An East London Grammar School education followed by 3 years at Oxford as an organ scholar, sharing tutorials with the late Dudley Moore, provided the backcloth to my chequered career! But subsequent years with cynical session musicians and work in heavy London night clubs and pubs gave a dramatic twist to life and led, perhaps, to my current thinking and philosophy.
Among the many writers whose work I have admired over the years, I would still pick Graham Greene for style and elegance and Kingsley Amis for his natural wit and breadth of human experience.
While "political correctness" continues to stifle creative publications and freedom of tongue, I, in turn, continue to write satirical books as a just reaction to an almost Orwellian nightmare. Let us drink to a revival of humour and free speech.
