Great car parking spaces I have known, by Jeffrey Archer

Now that the Yard has more or less given up blogging, it falls to me to keep the world abreast of developments in the exciting world of Jeffrey Archer.

You’ll be glad to know that he is still bang on form: the expert non-sequiturs, the postmodern shunning of insight or interest, the bathetic, punchline-free endings…

Stay with this report on the parking facilities at popular venues for charity auctions; it ends with a real thigh-slapper of a quip from Jeff’s pal Peter Bottomley….

(And note that Jeff has, without irony or shame, embraced Bryan’s ST nomination for 'Best Cult Blog'. But then I suppose that being entirely without irony or shame is what has made Jeff the man he is today. )

ooooh boy that was pretty incendiary stuff! Have you ever read any of his oevre, Brit?

Brit said...

Only his blog, Worm. Have you read one of the novels then?

Are you sure that word is cult?

Nige said...

That Bottomley eh? Cracks me up every time...

never read anything written by him apart from today's blog, and on that basis I may continue not reading anything else written by him for quite some time.
