The Becket List is a not entirely serious compendium of ' First World Problems' - the sort of stuff that drives us round the bend on a daily basis. How is it that atonal music, bus stations, cling-film and coat-hangers can bugger us up so comprehensively? Or passport control people, modern poetry, or just about anything you' ll find in a typical hotel bedroom? Embracing both the inanimate - from allen keys to rawlplugs - and the animated (well, in some cases) - from your fellow-travellers to every third-rate waiter who ever walked the earth - this book is essential for your sanity. As such, this comprehensive A to Z provides a signal service to humanity. AUTHOR: Henry Becket was one of that curious breed, a Choral Exhibitioner at Cambridge, where he read. . . books. And magazines. He then spent decades nurturing what a head hunter once described as an iffy CV - as a Westminster speechwriter, lobbyist, wine merchant, copywriter, ad agency supremo (industry-speak for MD), and writer/director of innumerable eminently forgettable TV commercials in an awful lot of languages. He is lucky enough to have an impressively large family, and is also pretty obsessed with sailing, skiing, claret, churches and hillwalking, among other things. Oh, and the foibles of the world around him.
' Read it at breakfast, read it at lunch, read it at dinner, read it in bed or the bath and especially on the train. Give it to your friends, give it your family, give it to your enemies indeed' ; Nigel Rodgers, author of The Dandy: Peacock or Enigma
