    About this ebook

    An irreverent and not entirely politically correct comic encyclopedia. The first few entries are -

    A
    ABBA - Immensely successful Swedish pop group whose name is made up from the initial letters of their Christian names, Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anna-frid. A later Swedish pop group who used the same idea and whose Christian names were Tomas, Wilhelmina, Arnie, Trudi and Stefan were not nearly so popular.

    Aberration - A seaside resort on the coast of Clywd, North Wales, an even more depressing resort than Abergele.

    Abstain - Suspicious-looking deposit, probably sperm, on an Able-Bodied Seaman's trousers or hammock.

    Abzorba the Greek - Athenian paper tissue, tampon and sanitary towel manufacturer.

    AC/DC Milan - Bi-sexual Italian football team.

    The Razzamatazz Not Entirely PC Encyclopedia also contains extensive extracts from the author's eighteen other books.

    Terry Ravenscroft

    The day after Terry Ravenscroft threw in his mundane factory job to become a television comedy scriptwriter he was involved in a car accident which left him unable to turn his head. Since then he has never looked back. Before they took him away he wrote scripts for Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, Alas Smith and Jones, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Ken Dodd, Roy Hudd, and several others. He also wrote the award-winning BBC radio series Star Terk Two. He now writes humorous books, 20 thus far with no signs of letting up. Three of them, Stairlift to Heaven, Dear Coca-Cola and Dear Air 2000 were in the top ten of the Kindle Best Sellers list at the same time. His latest novel is Serial Killer, his latest non-fiction book is the autobiographical Stairlift to Heaven 4 - Still Hanging On. Born in New Mills, Derbyshire, England in 1938, he still lives there with his girlfriend, Divine Bottom (in his dreams).
