| Tickling the English, now in paperback Why do the English pretend to be unhappy all the time? Why can't they accept they rank about 5th, in everything? And what's with all the fudge? Swapping anecdotes with his audiences and spending time wandering in their hometowns, this nosy neighbour holds England up to the light while exploring some of the attitudes he brought over here with him too. As Dara goes door-to-door in search of England in this part tour diary, part travelogue, the result is an affectionate, hilarious and often eye-opening journey through the Sceptred Isle. Buy Tickling The English in paperback from Amazon |

"He's fond of us but he's not one of us, so his observations have perfect pitch... O Briain sees us as absurd but amiable, a land of discreet eccentrics." |
