We get stuck into @andrewlownie's new biog of #PrinceAndrew and @SarahTheDuchess

Interesting takes on their relationships with @RoyalFamily and #Epstein, but as @SteveKPhillips said "It's a book of 4 halves!"

I've enjoyed hearing @andrewlownie tearing Prince Andrew a new on on various outlets while promoting his new book 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York'

So I've bullied @SteveKPhillips into listening to the #audiobook for the return of #AudioBookClub next Monday

[#AudioBookClub @AudioBookShow]

#AudioBookClub returns next Monday 2nd September

@stevekphillips and @whingeingpom want to hear what you thought of...

@SteveKPhillips and I tried to review the new @eltonofficial @audible_com audiobook on this week's #AudioBookClub

But it was awful

Fortunately his autobiography 'Me' (narrated by @TaronEgertonUA, published by @MacmillanAudio) was bloody marvellous!

Currently editing the latest addition of #AudioBookClub (in which @stevekphillps and I wholeheartedly recommend the audiobook version of @RealBobMortimer's The Hotel Avocado)

Found this...

No secret that I'm a huge @JamesPumphrey fan

Watched #UpToSpeeed with my kids. We all sing "Pop up up and down headlights"

This video is 40 mins of dignity

BUT THEN ...

Looks like the new episode of #UpToSpeed is going to be about Levi's

Oh wow!
