Narration During Books Nobody Asked Me, But ....

Apart from breaking two of my mates' noses (one in the ring and one chasing a 'runner') I used to be known for my stories. And they were all true. I'd come back from distant shores and speak of my adventures.

So much so in fact that people used to say, "You should write a book."

My diatribes in my blogs and newspaper columns are simply my way of spinning the balls, because sometimes I like to see what number they land on. That’s all.

But although I’m known mostly as a raconteur - and most of my books can be described as coming from the humourist vein – in ‘Nobody Asked Me’ I touch on some subjects that are surely going to upset a few people.

I’ve never quite understood the politically correct brigade. Hardly any subject is taboo to the Englishman when he’s laughing. No longer simply a fad, blogging is now an important new literary innovation. This book is not a story, and if you’re looking for a book that is all sweetness and light, please give this one a miss. It’s not for you. I won’t be offended and I honestly wish you a great life. If everyone likes me, then I’m not being controversial enough – and trust me when I say that in this book I get controversial.

Oh, don’t worry; the humour that my fans seem to enjoy so much is still there, but right now the planet’s spinning in new and scary directions, and this needs to be addressed. So inside the covers of this book I take a look at some of the challenges we’re currently facing. And some of my opinions are going to rattle a few people.

So is a comedy writer honestly the best one to challenge some of the perceptions we’re facing nowadays? Well, I’ve always believed that if you can make people laugh then they tend to listen to what you say when you’re serious. And my goal, my life’s ambition if you like, is to give direction to comedy, purpose to satire.

So why the rabbit popping out of a tin of soup on the cover. Well ‘Rabbit & Pork’ is Cockney rhyming slang for Talk, and on more than one occasion I’ve been accused of rabbiting away excessively – mostly at parties, and generally by my wife.

But why a tin of soup? Well I tend to believe that everyone is born perfect. Nobody is born with an inherent capacity to hate. It has to be taught. All of our experiences – family, school, work, the books we read, the newspapers we peruse, the music we listen to, our friends, our social life, the opinions of those around us, religion, sports we play or watch, those we love and those who love us, those we desire and those who desire us, those we travel with, our hopes and dreams and ambitions and achievements, our triumphs and disasters - go into a metaphorical cooking pot that we carry with us throughout our lives.

All these ‘ingredients’ make up our Soup of Life.

Now, when making a soup, once you’ve added an ingredient, it’s forever blended in and you can’t take it out again. You add a sprinkling of finely chopped garnish; cumin or oregano, and you can never take that ingredient out again. Never, ever, ever.
So say at the age of six you add black pepper or rosemary or hatred or love or comedy, from then onwards it’ll always be part and parcel of your ‘soup.’ And as you add more ingredients the ‘recipe’ of your life evolves, and before you know it you can’t taste the coriander or the love any more, but it’s still there at a deep subliminal level. Remember that.

Some people may not add hatred until they’re in their twenties, and most of us never add it at all.

Critique Based On Books Nobody Asked Me, But ....

This Book Was Keeping My Hubby Awake!They say Variety is the spice of life and that is pretty much what you get with Nobody Asked Me, ButAuthor Karl Wiggins gives his viewpoints on a variety from topics including: sports, food, current events, travel, women and real life events from his life. I have to say I would read this in bed at night and start laughing due to the authors humorous style. I was actually keeping my hubby awake and had to read in the next room. Theres no holding back as the

This book fooled me. Started reading it and realized it was another Brit trying to be funny - had a hard time sticking to it.Then it started to grab me. Wiggins does a great job of taking a realistic look a life and making fun of it. Intersperse that with some serious stuff - some of which I did not know - and you have an enjoyable read.And I found, he can make me laugh.Will read more.

Brilliantly truthful. I've read this book for the second time and found it more rewarding than ever. This is the stuff that most of us don't dare to say, but still think. This is the most rewarding book I have ever read about the status quo of UK, or indeed anywhere in the world. Loved it.

Karl Wiggins Author, humourist, raconteur and (unfortunately) master of dysphemismI'm an author with seven books on Amazon Kindle, and I'll state right from the start that I have a particular aversion to fellow authors who befriend you and then immediately message you saying, "You might like my book ..... check it out." I don't do that. If people wish to know more about my books the informationThis book fooled me.

I believe this eclectic mishmash is Karl Wiggins' best work so far. Wiggins is very funny--so funny that I burst out laughing while sitting in a medical facility; causing people to stare. How embarrassing. But the other side of this author is deep and complex. He's brilliant! Many of the thoughts he wrote about could have been written by me, because they matched my own. But the funny lines? I only wish I had written them. In the beginning of this book, Mr. Wiggins makes it clear the book is not
