And then there was that book on the treatments of constipation, by that famous Scottish prophet... wait for it.... The Bran seer.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Ah yes the Brahan seer. He did bridges and pylons but did he foresee Brexit?

Reminds me of another book entitled 'Obsession with Genitalia' co-authored by P. Ennis and Mike Litoris.

The spirit of Talbot Rothwell lives on
When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips
