Robert Popper - The Timewaster Diaries: A Year In The Life Of Robin Cooper

Robert Popper - The Timewaster Diaries: A Year In The Life Of Robin Cooper
By Robert Popper

Rita fell down the stairs at twenty-two minutes past midnight.

Robin Cooper, author of The Timewaster Letters, turns his hand to diary writing in this hilarious new novel.

Meet Robin Cooper: inventor, part-time driving instructor, toffee addict, and compulsive letter writer.

The year starts badly for Robin when he is fired from his office job for writing too many letters. He decides to start a diary to pass the time and to keep a record of his many inventions, including Aqua Choc, "The Chocolate Bar with the Refreshing and Delicious Water Centre". But life soon becomes much more complicated.

Will Robin find another job? Will Rita, his bird-phobic wife, discover the wood pigeon Robin is hiding in their loft? Is his mother's new boyfriend really a famous explorer? Will Aqua Choc ever go into production? And can Robin's mysterious Swiss-German pen-friend, Gunter Schwartz, help?

All these questions and more are answered in The Timewaster Diaries - the very funny story of a great British eccentric.

Not in the UK?

Fear not! Many items can still be ordered. Amazon in the UK delivers to many international territories, whilst their Australia, USA and Canada stores also supply many equivalent or imported items.

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.

If you order from a UK store, please note that the UK is in Region 2 and B, respectively, for DVDs and Blu-rays - check your player's compatibility, or look for multi-region products if you are located in another region.

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. The UK and Australasia are in the same Blu-ray region (B).
