Xmas 2008 sorted!! - By: H. Shenston, 01 Nov 2008 
Russell Ash has long been renowned for his brilliant research into the bizarre & the obscure, which is what makes this hysterical book even funner - the knowledge that he has made none of this up, all of the namesin here are real. Some parents really did christen their child Luke Warm, others, Little Dick & Dick Willy Cock, Amorous Swain, Fanny Stretcher, Dick Sodom, Betty Snot, snd, one of my favourites, a couple who married & merged their last names to become Axe-Killer.
This is the perfect Xmas gift to give to any one with a sense of humour, & even better, to someonen without one. I defy anyone to turn any pagein this gem of a tome without a smile.
Hilariously Brilliant - By: Robbie Swale, 27 Mar 2008 This is an amazingly funny book - it will have tears rolling down your face. My brother received it as a Christmas present, & we didn't stop laughing for about twenty minutes of reading! Then we had to put it down & have some Christmas dinner...
It is a great present, or something great to havein the house for people to pick up, read, & laugh at.
Loved it - By: The Mummy, 26 Mar 2008 I have to show this book to all that call in. It's one of those books that you can have hanging around & just pick it up & open. I must say it's even better afer a pint or two.
I cried..and cried...and cried...with laughter - By: The Voice Of Reason, 30 Jan 2008 This is 'simply' a book of peoples names.
I laughed so much I came close to wetting myself. This is one of the funniest books I have ever read.
Anyone who does not think so should be shot. I mean it.
I cried laughing! - By: Boof, 10 Jan 2008 I bought this book as Christmas present but kept putting off wrapping it for weeks cos I died laughing every time I opened it!
This book is hundreds upon hundreds of names (all verified from birth & death certificates) that mostly make your jaw dropin disbelief & horror that someones parents actually stared into their babys eyes upon birth & cooed "hello sweetheart, welcome to the world, Fanny Warmer". I must have a real toilet sense of humour as I found the rude ones so hillarious I found myself guffawing away like a mad woman!
I can't recommend this book highly enough if you just need a quick pick-me-up. Whatever you were down about, after 2 minutes with this your sides will be splitting.
