For more brilliant pranks, check out the insanely funny, smash hit books THE TIMEWASTER LETTERS and THE TIMEWASTER DIARIES. Robin Cooper writes to trade groups, department stores, political parties and book publishers with his mad ideas and suggestions. Is the British Hamster Association interested in meeting Hambles, a talented rodent with an 80 word "scratch" vocabulary? Can anyone help Robin arrange a surprise clarinet party for his wife?
Matt Stone, co-creator of South Park confirms that this book is "definitely NOT a waste of time" while Jonah Hill of Superbad and Knocked Up says he "laughed hysterically. Then I thought about my life and cried hysterically". Peter Baynham, the co-writer of the Borat movie and performer of The Day Today calls it "hilarious, ridiculous" and says he "woke up laughing in the middle of the night at it". Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Sean of The Dead, Spaced) just says "it is truly brilliant."
Robin Cooper is the pen name of Robert Popper, the BAFTA winning comedy producer of Peep Show and co-creator/co-star of the BBC's Look Around You.
