Hessle Road Scallywags 2 - Softcover

Hessle Road Scallywags 2 A Brief Encounter In Hull Moving on from Hessle Road Scallywags, it's now the 1970's and Ian Newton AKA Ian Achmed is a "half-caste" teenager and it is the full-blown "Day of the half-caste kid" and girls just love the novelty with a real "passion". It is girls and teenage sex on tap as Ian escapes the dysfunctional madhouse of his home life after beating up his physically abusive stepfather. He is a thirsty young man and drowning himself in a sea of girls, girls, girls. Now living in the bedsit land of Hull's Anlaby Road with his young flat mate Jimbo they are both in a race to get as many notches on their bedposts as possible. And they are surrounded by an eager frenzy of young partying nurses and a 1970's Hull overflowing with nightclubs and female temptations galore. The story is a true hilarious comedy of the life, loves, regrets and nostalgic memories of a crazy mixed up half-caste child of the 1970's, rebelliously taking on a white man's world he hates with a passion and winning, as Ian goes from Hessle Road underclass kid to best selling writer and the streets of London and Hollywood Boulevard fighting, blagging and kicking in every door that stands in his way. "Great respect for Ian, he's lived it, and an incredibly funny writer and I just love his stuff." The late, great John Daly, Hollywood film mogul associated with 13 Academy awards to his credit, including producer of the Terminator and Platoon. "I literally almost wet myself reading Ian's working class comedy writing." Matt Chaplin, script editor, Tiger Aspect Films. "Ian writes it like it is, and is, one hell of a funny writer. It is pure working class humour at its best. And John Prescott hates him and that's good enough for me." Mark Metcalf, Big Issue contributor, northern socialist legend, and published writer and author.
