A Book For Yiz All (2/2 people found this helpful)
If you're walkin' aboot wi a droopit moo in some far off land; and need a bit of a lift, this is the book fir you.
Plenty of aphorisms that you have probably not heard or used for a while but understand completely as Bill Duncan resurects them in his "Wee Book of Calvin."
Whenever you're surrounded by PC, "happy" people; pick this up and have a wee greet ti yirsel. You'll feel the better fir it!
Happiness is over rated (5/5 people found this helpful)
This a true original and everyone in your family should have one beside their bedside candle (before accidently burning the cottage down).We need Bill Duncan and I hope he will take this book and preach with it far and wide and beyond the wild borders of Carnoustie.
Next time you glance at those prissy little books at the counter remember Arbroath on a dreich day. You will feel better for feeling worse.
Trust a Fifer to Look on the Bright Side! (8/9 people found this helpful)
Weel, as ma Granny wuld say 'wurst things happen at sea' (and as a fisherman's daughter, she knew).
Every silver lining has a cloud and the author does an excellent job of reminding us of them.
A refreshing change from the feelgood psycho dribble....and an excellent Christmas present for all your true friends....
