ABOUT ME
My name is Robin Wickham, a simple man in his late 50s. I have found that there is far too little humour in print of late. one has to really search to find the good ones. With this in mind, I thought I would attempt tp put some decent, clean humour out there for all to enjoy. The books here are all fictional satire with plenty of absurd characters and even more absurd events. lots of stiff upper lip, English wit, and still bureaucracy.
I hope you will enjoy them, please leave a comment in the message area to help me improve, or for something specific you would like to see in print.

Major Digby-Vane (Retd.) did not believe in the future. He regarded it as a poorly managed department of the Civil Service that had somehow gained far too much autonomy.

Book excerpt
It was a crisp Saturday morning at Greater Piddle Lawn Bowls Club, and the dew on the bowling green glistened like the tears of someone who had just seen the bar prices. The prices were intended to control beverage consumption but failed dismally.
The club secretary, Mrs. Euphemia Sprout, stood on the sagging veranda, clipboard pressed to her chest like a shield. She surveyed her domain with the grim pride of a woman who had once won Regional Committee Person of the Year and had never emotionally recovered.
“This,” she whispered, “is the day we show the South West Bowls Federation that Greater Piddle is not a laughingstock.”
Seconds later, she spotted the body.
It was lying face-down on Rink Three, sportinge.

The Angler’s Guide to Unlikely Fish $4 ZAR 48
Book extract: Percival Nettlebunk firmly believed that a good fishing trip required three things:
A comfortable patch of riverbank, preferably free of ants, snakes, and suspicious rustling sounds.
A fresh pot of tea, brewed strong enough to clean minor wounds.
Fish who minded their own business.
And of course you need a fishing rod with some accessories purchased from Rajbansi’s fishing emporium.
