Customer Reviews

Don't bother
I love Cloughie but this was a waste of money, way to expensive for what little was inbetween the front and back covers.

Grass in the sky - A review
Its true that the book is very short, please dont expect a long read. What you can expect though is a little gem containing some very funny qoutes from the much missed 'big 'ead'.

Some of his qoutes are genuinely laugh out loud funny and I do wonder if he was either naturally very sharp and quick witted, or was there any thought and planning involved in some of his seemingly spontaneous one liners?

The size of the book suggests it would be more suited to be kept on a coffee table or in the downstairs loo to be picked up and flicked through at random, rather than stored as a serious tome in a bookcase.
