Description

A follow-up to the best-selling Centimetre Perfect Some would say, 'That's Ambitious'.

From the great man himself, this is another collection of his own favourites, some having waited for years to bob up like corks in the ocean. There's no question of accuracy here, lots of quick thinking in heavy traffic, and centimetre perfect delivery every time.

Here, Dennis muses about huddle breath, tries out a Billy Connolly accent, reminisces about old Eagles songs, reveals his favourite team jumper and, in his trademark style, impresses with his extensive knowledge of the AFL game, its players and trivia.

This is definitely one for the time capsule.
