Philip Ardagh's Book of Absolutely Useless Lists for Absolutely Every Day of the Year

Expect the unexpected in this ridiculously named, reassuringly chunky book, jam-packed full of eye-openingly absurd facts, lies, half-truths, thoughts, suggestions and musings with more footnotes than an orchestra of millipedes. Lists include: "Possessors of Notable Moustaches (Real or Otherwise)," "What MI5 Look For When Recruiting," "Basic Requirements for Being A Pirate Captain," "Animal Breakouts" and "10 Things I Think I Know About the Moon Without Looking Them Up (Or Up at It)." From the best-selling author of Awful End.
