Description

'Billy Ellis, twenty-sodding-nine, single, sad, bored and battered' is how he describes himself in his diary, Billy's Log. He is a football fan who has failed to grow up but now wants to. He tries to keep up with the lads when he goes to the match, but continues to fail: he can't hold his drink, and his secret lusts for older women are embarrassingly revealed on the terraces. Then there's the trauma of buying a porn mag, the battleground of office sexual politics, and much else besides... Dougie Brimson has written a brilliant novel that will have men everywhere wincing in recognition as their own failings and shortcomings are held up to ridicule.
