Captain's Day (29 page)
I retrieved the Zimmer and made to throw it again.
"Can I have a go?" asked the man.
I handed him the Zimmer Frame. He drew his arm back and threw it as hard as he could. It landed a good ten yards farther than my last effort.
"You're a natural," I said.
“
Wasn’t bad was it,” said the man, pleased. “For a first stab at it.”
First stab at it! I had him hooked. I commenced to reel him in. "I tell you what,” I said. “Why don't you get a Zimmer Frame of your own and join me? Apparently there'll be an individual competition and a pairs, one of you throws the Zimmer and the other one throws it back, sort of piggy in the middle but without the piggy, plus a team event, the four man lob - I think that involves passing on the Zimmer to the next thrower like a baton, but we'd need another two for that. I train every morning at ten.".....

Amazon Reader’s Review:-
Another exceptional read from Terry Ravenscroft. I could not put this book down, had me laughing out loud and receiving some odd looks! I have also read Dear Coca Cola and Dear Air 2000 and couldn't stop laughing....

MAY 22 – JUNE 22
With the Moon in Pisces, the Sun in Aquarius, Jupiter in Neptune and your husband in bed with the au pair, it could be a tricky week for the fairer sex. However those born under the sign of Aries are nothing if not optimistic, and with Jupiter being in Leo, Pluto being in Cancer, your bank balance being in the red, your jewellery being in hock, and you being in the shit, you really won’t have the time to worry about it

All this and much, much more.

Amazon Reader’s Review:-
This man is a comedy genius! Possibly one of the funniest books I've ever read, it's a collection of sketches, observations and short stories that will have you laughing from start to finish, especially if you have a warped sense of humour like me....
