Wrinklies' Wit and Wisdom - Rosemary Jarski ... 'n' roll! Sage-louts are the new lager-louts! This sparkling collection of wrinklie wit and wisdom is proof-positive that the stereotypes of knitting grannies and doddering granddads just aren't true anymore - if, indeed, they ever were. Senior citizens are not going gentle into that good night. They're still out there, living life to the full, taking on new challenges and showing us how to grow old disgracefully. It's all in here: life, love, the universe, and Viagra. Coffin-dodgers will find lots of laughs, inspiration and 'Yes, that's me!' moments, and whippersnappers who are still some way off the free bus-pass can pick up lots of valuable tips on how to cope when the inevitable happens. Because as Maurice Chevalier said, 'Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.'

The book has quotes from over 600 sources and I am sad enough to...more

I have been putting off reviewing this title because it is so difficult to convey the “flavour” of it and just how entertaining it is but with just over four months to Christmas, I felt it was essential to pass on this handy tip for a present for older relatives! My god daughter gave this to me last Christmas and I have to admit that I was slightly offended by the choice when I unpacked it! After all, I might be pushing fifty but I am not in my dotage yet and I put a great deal of effort into not acting my age! However as soon as I started dipping into it, I forgave her because it is the most entertaining and funniest collection of quotations I have ever ...  Read the complete review

Lots of tips and ideas to keep you and your home smelling lovely! Some things are disgusting about what some people do or not do I should say!

Very funny and makes you laugh. Some humour will not appeal to all, some jokes of an adult nature

A very funny, honest recollection of crap cars. nicely designed, good quality photos and info. Availability and may offend some who still own some of these cars. Not a book for statistical data.

Childish humour, easy to read, immature fun Won't appeal to all, offensive to some

A beautifully written ending Everything that went before it

Everything you could ever want to know about the Barry/Billericay posse :-) You'll want more.
