George MacDonald Fraser - RIP
Fraser was a writer of both books and films. His most famous film is probably Bond's Octopussy.
For me he gave the wondrous would of Flashman and for years I have been waiting on the latest exploits of this cad from the 19th century based (very) loosely on the bounder in, Tom Brown's Schooldays (1857)
If you're stuck for a read, want a ripping good yarn that has our anti-hero shagging all the gals, cheating, stealing and generally be a thoroughly rotten egg during the 19th century's finest historical moments (you'll actually learn stuff as well) pick up Flashman (1969 - buy it from Amazon), the first in the series of 12, and have yourself a rocking good time.
* Fraser actually died on 2nd January.
Thanks for me old mate and flat sharing person Undies for passing it on via Facebook, cheers!
