{"product_id":"some-old-bloke-hb-w26","title":"Robert Llewellyn: Some Old Bloke [2018] hardback","description":"For the last several years, the writer, comedian and Red Dwarf actor Robert Llewellyn has been gathering notes, old diaries, pictures and ideas for a lighthearted but occasionally philosophical book on his life. And a couple of years ago, after Christmas dinner, his son scrawled a picture of him that he titled `Some Old Bloke , which struck Robert as the perfect title for this funny, revealing and insightful autobiography. We take a meandering route through Robert's life and career, from the sensitive young boy at odds with his ex-military father, through his stint as a hippy and his years of arrested development spent in the world of fringe comedy, all the way up to the full-body medicals and hard-won insights of middle age.   Whether he is waxing lyrical about fresh laundry, making an impassioned case for the importance of alternative energy or recounting a detailed history of the dogs in his life, Robert presents a refreshingly open and un-cynical look at the world at large and, of course, the joys of being a bloke.","brand":"Llewellyn, Robert","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42043777548473,"sku":"9781783526024","price":21.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/llewellyn-robert-some-old-bloke-hb-w26-9781783526024-32320960397497.jpg?v=1656136994","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/some-old-bloke-hb-w26","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
