About this title

Synopsis

TOM SHIELDS' DIARY Tom Shields' Diary is a compendium of fun, insult and malapropism. For twelve years the Glasgow Herald has paid this man a wage to delue into any and every aspect of Scottish society with the simple remit to enjoy himself on behalf of the readers. The result was that the Herald Diary became absolutely the best and most unmissable part of the newspaper - with the possible exception of the births, marriages and deaths, of course. Like the newspaper diary, the book is a quirky, witty and irreverent commentary on every aspect of Scottish life. It takes sport, religion and politics and mixes all wherever possible, and is a gazetteer of Scotland's humour, with hundreds of the photographs and signs that have illustrated his column over the years, and with more than a thousand jokes, anecdotes and aphorisms.
