Book Update

Editing is in progress, but there's still no front cover image determined.

We thought a few taster lies might amuse.

• The Serpentine contains 23 million gallons of Ribena. This is why all the crayfish are purple.
• Adam Hart Davies is a pygmy hippo in a loud shirt.
• Imelda Marcos is 163 years old and is kept alive by regular injections of suede water repellent; the huge collection of shoes is merely a cover for bulk water repellant purchases at ShoeWorld in Droitwich.
• The planet Earth has four suns, but they’re always perfectly aligned so you can only see the nearest one.
• Helen Of Troy was noted for her skills in playing Subbuteo.
• Nokia mobile phones are powered by your brainwaves. The battery is there purely as a placebo and to offset suspicion. This is why text messages are rubbish when you send them drunk - the power’s all skew-whif.
• Thrash metal kills nits.
• Viagra was invented to repel greenfly from runner beans.

There are a shade over eighteen hundred of these. Many of them are more libellous than the examples given here, but then again these are all Lies. Not an iota of truth in there. Or maybe that's a lie too. You are the judge!

Anyway, the book progresses through the editing stages. We'll keep you updated as to progress. We reckon we might be able to get a little Flash presentation or game or something out there too. We'll let you know.
