Well done, Hartlepool. You didn't put on trial and kill a shipwrecked monkey thinking it a Napoleonic spy – any more than the several other places thusly accused ever did. Well done, Italy, for making the ciabatta such a global phenomenon it seems like a traditional foodstuff, even if it was invented in 1982. And well done to that famous ice hockey player, Charles Darwin – who was probably playing it, seeing as it was a British invention, long before the Canadians ever realised they might be good at it. Yes, for a book that spends a lot of its time saying 'this didn’t happen,' 'hoojamaflip didn't do this,' and 'that was never thus', it's one that's incredibly easy to be most positive about.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
*No, believe it or not we are different people – I cannot lay claim to inventing QI. Or producing ''Spitting Image''. Or ''Blackadder''. Or even being a tennis player hardly anyone remembers. In fact I only chose this book to bugger up our search engine. [Editor's note: you failed.]
We met with the first in the series [[QI: The Book of General Ignorance by John Lloyd and John Mitchinson|here]].
