Each curious man, of different age, era or stage, stands under the spotlight, his oddities or misapprehensions revealed. But then, from Me-time Tales, some women invade the book and comment upon the men's behaviour. Men - you know that feeling!

From the man whose passion is for probing the intimate parts of machines which suck and cut, to the secretive Sunday bonfire king ...Minett's accurate eye is like a searchlight, seeking out the darker shadings." - Eileen Casey (Multi-award winning Irish author) "...treasure trove. Highly recommended..." San Francisco Review of Books. "...witty short stories - some dark, some droll, but all superbly written, with a dash of acid wit." Amazon.
