This is superb. Bill Bryson fans will especially enjoy it.

See the son-in-law put the Kiwi Kopite in his place (reply @ comment 26) - the one who told Derek (@ comment 22) he was related. Typical fantasist Kopites..

My favourite Bryson book is Neither here nor there, hilarious.

The only book I've ever laughed out loud whilst reading

That was his first book I read, and it remains to this day the funniest book I have ever had the pleasure to read. His account of an Italian trying to park in a one way street (in Capri I think) is the most I have ever laughed.

I have since read:

Down Under
Notes from a Small Island
Notes from a Big Country
Made In America (his best book IMO)
1927
A Walk in the Woods
Life and Times of a Thunderbolt Kid
The Lost Continent

I love the man.

Bill Brysons book "Notes from a small island" is his best I believe

When he got pissed in Copenhagen and tried to phone his wife but got no answer yet they still charged him so so funny.
