The 2012 Paralympic Games are still six years away but already the sixty-five year old Terry Ravenscroft is putting together a team for the Throwing the Zimmer Frame competition (should such an event be included). And when he can fit it in. For this is a man who has many other things that fill his waking hours (of which he has more to fill than most people, thanks to the troublesome prostate gland that wakes him up for a pee about six times every night ). 

Stairlift to Heaven, the journal of an old age pensioner, is an irreverent, hilarious look at one man's life after retirement. Although  written by an old age pensioner, non-coffin dodgers should not be put off by this. Everyone will be old someday, and there are valuable lessons in coping with old age to be learned here. Be advised on how to cope with the multitude of maladies that bedevil old age (including the aforementioned prostate gland problem and the countless bladder examinations it brings with it); learn how to cope with increasing forgetfulness; how to become adept at dealing with junk mail; how *not* to go about capturing a Christmas goose; why you might be well advised to avoid swimming lessons; why you might like to give faith healers the widest of a wide berths; and how to deal with the neighbours from hell. But most of all learn how you can have lots of FUN whilst you're doing it all.

Written by Terry Ravenscroft, former scriptwriter to Les Dawson, the Two Ronnies and Morecambe & Wise.

*"It's a long time since I laughed out loud whilst reading. I started reading this book, got to the part about Marilyn Monroe and nearly wet myself laughing. Got some very strange looks from my wife and was told that my kindle would be taken from me if I didn't stop chuckling. I ended up having to put the book down because my sides were hurting so much."*  Geoff G.
