Buy it here now for a special price of $14.99.
My excellent gig writing the NZ Herald’s Sideswipe column has been going for over seven years and the very best bits have now been compiled into Sideswipe: The Book.
The perfect gift for those who would otherwise get fancy condiments or novelty socks, Sideswipe: The Book is packed full of the funniest reader anecdotes and pictures.
If you’d like to go into the draw to win an signed copy (UPDATE: A homemade (by me) Chicken and Asparagus pie, delivered – Aucklanders only , sorry) email me () with your postal address and the message you’d like me to write in it (within reason). Entries close 23rd October.
My favourite snippet if I had to choose? This one…

You can buy it only at The Warehouse, either in the real, physical world or online here, from the 23rd of October.
Big thanks to Rebecca Lal from Random House!
Update: Winner of the book/chicken pie combo is Leanne Francis. Copies of the book go out to Wendy Green, Matt Akerston and Brendan Roberts. Congratulations!
