You'll find them yammering on about everything from politics and sport to music and sex... and of course the demon drink. Aubrey Malone has ransacked the archives - and some more immediate sources - to come up with pearls of wisdom from Celebs past and present. Thus, the likes of Christy Moore, Tommy Tiernan, Colin Farrell and Ardal O'Hanlon joust with Peter O'Toole, Brendan Behan, Gay Byrne, Ian Paisley et al in a book that will bring a smile to your lips and also give you pause for thought betimes.;If there was ever any doubt that Paddy the Irishman had the gift of the gab, this substantial anthology will silence them for keeps. It's a compilation to have beside your bedside locker, or on the coffee table or even in the loo, for ready access. A pot-pourri of fun and frolics that concentrates on succinctness and the well-honed phrase, it has sanguine souls at their most corrosive and party animals at their most wickedly delightful. Impress your friends at cocktail parties by memorising these gems as Quotable Notables sound off on matters of the heart - and pocket.;At last: The comprehensive guide to all things Irish. From the horse's mouth.
