Produktbeschreibung
What is the difference between thongs and flip flops? To a Brit, flip flops are worn in the summer to the beach. To an Australian, thongs are all-purpose, all-terrain footwear worn 365 days a year. If they could climb mountains, fight fires in their thongs, they would give it a damn good go. True stories you just never hear! Covering over thirty years from my service in the British Army to migrating to Australia and becoming an underground coal mine worker. 'You're not all coming home speech' prior to Gulf War 2. OCD is rife in the British Army. The clown on parade and meeting a soldier called 'Git'. The 'Duaringa Incident'; two idiots stuck on a railway line. Bolts not boats! Smelly passengers, workmates and sanitary issues within a coal mine. My turbulent relationship with the Australian wildlife, especially Skippy; once love, but now so bitterly estranged. How did it go so wrong?
Autorenporträt
Adrian Johns was born in Launceston, Cornwall, England in 1967. He joined the British Army in 1986 and now lives in Australia. His debut novel is Shiny Arses, Skippy and Men in Orange. The dry sense of humour portrayed in his book comes from spending over thirty years in the company of soldiers and underground coal mine workers. True, honest and amusing stories brought to life are his forte.
