Simon Hoggart has been wine correspondent of the UK's Spectator magazine since 2001. He never writes for the wine expert, always for the enthusiastic layman, and he has an infectious pleasure in finding a delicious, reasonably priced bottle. Life's Too Short to Drink Bad Wine is a highly eclectic and personal selection for everyone to enjoy.
Simon Hoggart brings together the funniest and most surreal examples of that bete noire, the Christmas round robin letter, accompanied by his own inimitably funny commentary.
This work collects the funniest, most alarming, most gruesome emails sent home to friends and family during student gap years.

Every Christmas, unwanted round robin letters, stuffed with news of young Chloe's nauseating excellence at - well - everything, the announcement of Janet's cousin's husband's friend's divorce, or the details of Terry's colonoscopy, accumulate on doormats. One day, Simon Hoggart decided to do something about it. He mercilessly presented the most eye-popping examples of such letters in his bestseller 'The Cat that Could Open the Fridge', and followed it up with 'The Hamster that Loved Puccini', hoping he had put a stop to them. And yet the letters, booklets and photo-montages kept on coming. So here, to drive home his message, 'The Round Robin Letters' brings together his two collections in an anthology that will have everyone choking with laughter on their Christmas pudding.
A host of anecdotes from Simon's 40-plus years in journalism
