About this deal

Being white, old and men means they've also had heart troubles, which in both cases was trouble enough to nearly kill them. He mixes facts with humour and delivers some startling statistics about the sizes and ages these fish can reach. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook).

Whitehouse is the fisherman of the two and provides some basic fishing advice for the reader; Mortimer the willing accomplice who is simply just happy to hold a rod. And yet, for all his heartfelt pleading of the case for responsible fishing, I still can’t get past the stress the fish must be under, even if only momentarily. Several series later, this book was published in 2019 as an accompaniment to the television programmes.Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer have been working in British comedy for over 30 years and are considered legends of the business.

Listen in as she takes six different people on a career change journey to help them figure out what work they would really love to do and create a plan of how to make that career change happen. Eliminate negativity and change your life with best-selling author, happiness expert and life coach Domonique Bertolucci. Believe me, you don’t have to like fishing to get enjoyment from this book, it’s just a delight to witness two 60 somethings philosophising, and engaging in lots of banter in beautiful locations, and generally just chewing the cud, making the most of life, and recognising the joy in simple pleasures. Whether you're looking for some textbooks for university, the latest biography or a travel guide - you'll find what you need in our categories. Discover the joy of reading with us, your trusted source for affordable books that do not compromise on quality.Clearly these are topics of no interest whatsoever to me, but be warned – even if you feel likewise, make sure you at least skim them, or you'll miss some wonderful asides, not least on Paul's perennial bugbear, Bob winding. After both underwent heart operations / heart procedures, Paul Whitehouse, a keen angler, suggested fishing trips as a way of recuperating, getting out of the house, enjoying the countryside and partaking of a hobby that is mentally relaxing. While I'm not remotely interested in fishing, I did really enjoy the TV series which prompted this book, so thought I would give it a go. The no-holds-barred memoirs of a GP who went from working at a quiet suburban practice to treating the country's most dangerous criminals - first in young offenders' institutions, then at the notorious Wor. I’m with you too, on fishing, and I’ve never been a fan of Reeves and Mortimer but you’ve hooked me (groan) with this review, Jan.

The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason for being; the thing that gets you out of bed each morning. Along the way, they’ll unlock wisdom for those of us navigating our own coupledoms, and for those still seeking their perfect match. whenever we talk about comedy, Bob always says, ‘Paul have you noticed how people these days want to do their routine and want to be remembered as being clever?This is, when it comes down to it, a companion piece for the show, which I have never seen (I rarely watched BBC when I did have a TV subscription, and you can't legally watch iPlayer in Ireland as far as I know). There were some sections that made my eyes glaze over but I just like the warmth and heart (if you ignore the pun) of this book. Maybe dig my camera out and start doing photography as a hobby again, for the sake of it, rather than for likes on Instagram or Flickr. On the fish, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect read for fans of the duo and for anyone who wants to enjoy a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.

In this wonderful book, the two fishermen collaborate to celebrate the rich tapestry that is fishing - from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled 'Fishing Detectives'. If you are in Australia or New Zealand (DVD Region 4), note that almost all DVDs distributed in the UK by the BBC and 2entertain are encoded for both Region 2 and Region 4. It felt as though Bob and Paul had been asked to include it to secure the tie-in with the programme, but I don’t think it was necessary.
