About the author

In 1995, a secret society was formed comprising Britain's foremost thinkers, writers, and artists to explore the world's most bizarre nooks and crannies and to trade and share useless information (or, as founding member Keith Waterhouse, playwright and journalist, would have it, "totally bloody useless")-usually over a pint or two at a local pub. Now, The Useless Information Society shares its findings with Americ an readers in this first of what they threaten will be several volumes.

Noel Botham is charman and founding member of The Useless Information Society. Botham and the rest of his team lurk mostly around London

[Kelda Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

great fun! its not a book that you have to read all the way through, its fun to just flick through the pages and just see what you land on. Some of it is funny, some is informative, some are both! A great book to have a look at no matter what mood your in.

Hilarious

A lot of the “facts” are incorrect, fake, or urban legends. There are also quotes attributed to famous actors that are actually lines from movies or TV shows they’ve acted in. Overall very poorly researched - feels like someone just googled “fun facts about X” and copy pasted whatever came up in Google without bothering to fact check.
