Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing: The Comedy Classic

Product Information

This is, when it comes down to it, a companion piece for the show, which I have never seen (I rarely watched BBC when I did have a TV subscription, and you can't legally watch iPlayer in Ireland as far as I know). Maybe dig my camera out and start doing photography as a hobby again, for the sake of it, rather than for likes on Instagram or Flickr.

The locations add huge interest to this novel, but the stars of the show are Bob and Paul - Bob is funny and endearingly childlike, while Paul has some great one liners, and it’s amusing to listen them take the mickey out of each other, and are good enough friends, that it never offends. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

These little modulations of mood as against the TV recur; obviously nostalgia will often crop up in their conversations there too, but if you lose the accompanying gorgeous visuals on the page, the compensation is some really beautiful and bittersweet passages on how to some extent both of them see fishing as a recapturing of a childhood sense of adventure, the first times out and far away, free. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events. whenever we talk about comedy, Bob always says, ‘Paul have you noticed how people these days want to do their routine and want to be remembered as being clever? Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths.

Is it to have one longer day" but it's something I've come to ask a lot lately and not just every morning at 05:30 when I remove feline excrement from litter trays. In this wonderful book, the two fishermen collaborate to celebrate the rich tapestry that is fishing - from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled 'Fishing Detectives'.

However their other thesis that life is short, so die fishing if you love it, is well made; gently and touchingly in places.

I also didn’t expect to learn that the fixed spool or spinning reel was developed by a textile manufacturer who thought that the principle of the shuttle on a loom might work to prevent fishing line becoming tangled when cast. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself. Which gives me hope for some of the old friends I've been meant to be having catch-up drinks with since the early 2010s. I can't think of many things better than listening to my favourite old white men babbling on about anything and everything, and being genuinely funny and charming.Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original.
