Halfwit Nation Review
If satire is your thing then this is well worth a read. I bought it on the strength of subscribing to "The Daily Mash" and it didn't dissapoint. Poking fun and news stories and national issues over the past year in a very intelligent, brutal and extremely funny way. A very easy read, the only potential problem is if your partner is sat next to you whilst you are reading it or you are in a public place whilst reading it. I can see how the laughing out loud and crying(which I did)could become annoying.
Tom Logan Rules!!!!

Just in time for Christmas...
The 2007 edition of Debrett's Guide To Etiquette states:

"A good host will be aware that the condition of their water closet will reflect, in the mind of the guest, the condition of one's house as a whole. It is therefore vital to ensure that the fixtures are not only scrupulously clean and in good working order, but that all comforts necessary for a rest break are provided.

Clean towels (both linen and paper) should be provided, as well as the choice of scented and unscented soap. Air fresheners should not be overpowering and it is crucial that, as a host, one should provide a decent range of reading matter while people are sat trying to shoo a barking otter out of their hoop."

As far as toilet reading material goes, "Halfwit Nation" is a classic of its genre. Packed with hysterical spoof articles, it's the ideal gift for the meditative defecator in your life.

Excellent stuff.

Mash up your Christmas
The Daily Mash is the UK's answer to the Onion, and often surpasses that site in biting satire. With a rude, offensive and often unrepeatable take on current affairs and news, it makes many a day at work more bearable for its tens of thousands of fans.

This book draws together some of the best and funniest news stories from the site into an "easy to handover to you brother-in-law at Christmas" addition to any unpaid credit card bill.
