SC-UK Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Funny you should mention this, just finished reading this again for the umpteeth time. So so funny. The start of the letter to the "United Kingdom Spoon Collectors Club" always has me in stiches! -Hello, come in. Would you like a cup of tea? -Yes please. Thank you. -Sugar? -Please. My, what a fine spoon. -I thank you. For I am a collector (of spoons). An everyday scene from within my home. No doubt yours too. Anybody who has the book will appreciate this

Anybody who has the book will appreciate this Just about to order the Diaries book he has done too..... I can't read some of them without breaking down in fits..... Its the drawings in them as well....
SC-UK Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Its the drawings in them as well.... Ha ha yes, the creature he found in his pond and wants identifying - and that strange contraption for traping birds (comes complete with disposal bags). I only have the book, but will definately be buying some more of his stuff. I believe there is a second timewasters letters?

Yes, some extra added letters - not got that either - will add it to the list. Just going to finish reading 'Hard Drive' - [ Bill Gates / Microsoft Book ] then I'll get on with the other Timewaster books.....
_Bob_ Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I got this for xmas and loved it. Can't wait till I'm retired and I can spend my days writing letters like this..
