Some news of very little import
Well it’s happened. The book of ‘Walking the Streets’ (The book not the blog) by Bill Sticker is almost ready for the printers. A lot of stuff that never made the blog is in there, with some of the better blog entries rewritten and improved. Names, times and dates will remain changed in order to circumvent any putative legal action; but aside from that I have striven to be factually correct. In other words; yes it happened; these are the events, but I’ve changed the names and places to protect both innocent and guilty alike.
Useful things to know like the section ‘getting off a parking ticket’ have been expanded, along with more detail, sample letters and hopefully some better jokes. I say hopefully because sarcasm, irony and bathos are lost on some people, who are only reduced to fits of guffaws over things like a Kitten falling onto a running chainsaw. Please note that I do not have any stories that they will find amusing. The book is not aimed at that audience.
Publication date is hopefully 20th June 2007.
If this is not to your specific taste, to quote one of those rather endearing Americanisms – “Bite me.”
Update;
The book (Which is much better written and I hope funnier than the blog) will be available solely through Amazon.com to begin with. If anyone wants a signed copy, well, I might be doing a quick 'guerilla signing' tour of the UK at various evening dates during July 2007. In August I shall be elsewhere. More about that later.

Never thought I would say this to one in you profession:-
Congratulations on finishing your book, and good luck.
Woo and indeed Hoo.
If you manage a guerilla (or a gorilla one, that'd be fun) book signing in Manchester, I'd love to know.
Not listed on Amazon.ca yet :-(
Would love to buy and read a copy.
