Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 272
Tim Bowden is a larrikin. I want to alert you to the threat posed to this endangered species. There used to be a serious tradition of it at the ABC. Nowadays larrikinism gets pretty short shrift. Yet like Canute, Bowden stands against the tide. I think the secret lies in laughter. Tim Bowden makes me laugh. Out loud. You can't ask for better therapy than that.- Peter Thompson, Radio National Breakfast When Peter Thompson asked Tim Bowden to contribute a whimsical talk to close the breakfast program at the end of each week, Tim asked what he had in mind. "Oh, anything you like," he was told. So Tim's topics range widely, through pet hates like over-loud music in restaurants and pubs, to beach fishing, bad poetry, vexatious letters, demented pigeons, management jargon and communications. (Bowden's grandfather once owned a wooden telephone.)With considerable hilarity, irreverence, a zest for life and talented story-telling zeal, No Tern Unstonedis a wonderfully entertaining collection of Tim Bowden's wry observations of the world around him, past and present.
