Funny
Exactly what you expect from Al Murray, narrated by the great man himself from the setting of his own pub.
It is his complete and total belief that Great Britain is the centre of the Universe, (After all, it is a fact that God is British!), that makes this recording charmingly politically incorrect
Cleverly xenophobic without being racist, mysogonist without being sexist, Al Murray manages to be completely un-PC at a time when anyone else attempting this type of humour would be lambasted for any number of -isms.
My only problem is that this is clearly a 2 CD set and is abridged a little too much. 3 or 4 hours would still be only scratching the surface of the surface of the philosophical genius that is Al Murray.
Download it and you will be left feeling that you wanted more, but download it all the same.
Disappointing
I am a big fan of both Al Murray and the Pub Landlord, live and on TV. I suppose I was expecting Al's clever and measured delivery, but was frankly disappointed by his merely reading aloud and usually at far too fast a pace. It did improve towards the end, maybe because I'd got used to it, but by then it was over and ended with a plug to 'buy the book'. Which is not the point.
