Description: `I reckon there are about nine things a chap doesn`t realise he should be able to do. Not stuff you can download from the internet, but really important things. So, in this book, each is dealt with fully, and it`s a good read rather than just boring facts.`
`It`s a series of meaty chapters with some light gaggery, but also solid information and plenty of nice pictures and diagrams. `For example, in `How to Land an A330 Airbus` there is good background stuff about the likelihood of it ever falling to you (extremely unlikely), some stats on past dramas, plus good and accurate information on the controls, what they do and what they look like. `There`s a range of subjects from the genuinely relevant -- how to deliver twins, for example -- to the absurd, such as how to play Beethoven`s `Moonlight Sonata`, so there`s ample opportunity for me to rant while enthralling the reader with proper lavatory-friendly technical explanations.`
