A sequel to the hilarious Bedside Book of Insults, here is another collection of taunts and slurs, as wicked and witty as its predecessor.
In this book you'll find out who likened Andrew Lloyd Webber to Bomber Harris, and why; what the Boston Strangler did to deserve comparison with Mrs Thatcher; who was compared to a hand grenade with a bad haircut; and which was the unfortunate on whom God conferred a bunch of wet spaghetti instead of a backbone.
Insults come in all shapes and sizes:
Bernard Levin is loquacious on the subject of Wedgwood Benn, while Khrushchev spares considerably less breath on his rival Leonid Brezhnev. And if you thought invective was a twentieth-century invention, the barbs of Samuel Johnson, Lord Byron, Mozart, Swift and others will come as a shock!
Inside these pages politicians, actors, tycoons and wits release their bile in a witches' brew of caustic comments from the cheeky to the downright defamatory. A must for anyone who ever believed in the milk of human kindness - and for those who didn't.
