Guests this week were: Maggie (Vera Lynn)Perkovic & Ro(Guru)Bennett.
Books under the mic were:
FROM A CLEAR BLUE SKY : SURVIVING THE MOUNTBATTEN BOMB
by Timothy Knatchbull. One review said" Classiebawn is a focus of much of the family interaction and, of course, where the fateful fishing expedition set out from. It is an historic symbol of repression and colonialism but this is lost on the author whose bewilderment at the attitude of many of the locals betrays an astonishing ignorance of their historical, political and economic divide".
Maggie totally disagreed with this comment and said it was clear from the book that the author and Mountbatten clearly did understand!
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby
West End Girls by Barbara Tate (couldn’t help but break into song with the title of this book as it was a song by the Pet shop Boys) one reviewer said "This book will make you laugh out loud and cry in parts, but it fills you with admiration at the strength of the human spirit".
U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton
Also laughed at the 'Stella Awards' which aren't for lager but for the daftest law suits to be granted.
