2) Blood, Sweat and Tea: Real Life Adventures in an Inner-city Ambulance by Tom Reynolds from random acts of reality[published tomorrow] What's it really like rushing around East London aboard a London ambulance, battling ill health, public stupidity and mindless bureaucracy? If you've been reading Tom's insightful blog for the last three years, then you'll already have some idea. Now all of his best posts have been morphed and updated into a shiny new volume, available in all good bookshops from tomorrow. I've had an advance copy for a fortnight (which is one of the advantages of appearing on page 279), and it's amazing the gravitas which print brings to Tom's writing. Go on, stick a copy on your bookshelf. I remain worried, however, that I risk appearing in the sequel should I ever have a nasty accident at home and be forced to ring 999.
3) Tales of Mirthand Woe by Alistair Coleman from Scaryduck[published 1st August?] This book may be listed on Amazon but it's strange, I've heard nothing about it recently on Scary's site, nor seen it in the shops. I wonder if this is perhaps just another one of his stories...
[Please note that the official diamond geezer book is available today at your office photocopier (please staple top left) in 48 monthly archives]
