"This is an unusual blog; the art of public speaking is crucial to politics and yet there's not much devoted to it specifically. This blog does, with posts combining accounts of the writer's recent engagements with some handy hints. Given some of the turgid speeches we're forced to suffer in the Commons, more MPs could do with reading it". politics.co.uk
"Nick spoke at our joint meeting with Kingston 41 Club. It was a brilliant evening. Nick is an engaging speaker, witty, topical and very interesting. He spoke for three quarters of an hour without notes, a most knowledgeable man. I cannot recommend Nick enough and can assure you that engaging him is a worthwhile endeavour. I wish you a great evening like ours". Manny Martins Vice Chairman of Hamble Valley Stick Club and 41 Club Regional Councillor, Region 24.
"Your speech to our 9 Rotary Clubs in North Surrey was much appreciated by me and I have received lots of feedback which was very positive about you. It was so refreshing to hear someone who has the wit to make us laugh throughout the evening without resort to 'blue' material and swearing. I do hope many others will get the chance to experience your talents". Howard Smith, Assistant Governor Area 1 Rotary District 1140.

I am very proud of the 'JOCK BOOKS' and feel that they will become an invaluable resource for radio presenters wishing to inject humour into their broadcasts. I have already had some excellent feedback from those who have seen them, such as:
"Really useful ideas. I loved the observational humour...it will be really good to use". From a major local commercial radio presenter after receiving 'JOCK BOOK' Volume 1. "I just don't have the voice to deliver gags or punchlines as such. However, I found myself reading the sample from your 'JOCK BOOK' aloud in my head as I would on-air and found this a lot more comfortable. It also made me laugh out loud on several occasions". From a daytime presenter on a local commercial station who went on to order 'JOCK BOOKS' 1 and 2 plus the Seasonals volume. The 'JOCK BOOKS' are alphabetically-arranged collections of 200 original, humorous observations about everyday subjects that your listeners can readily identify with. The beauty of them is that they can be used at any time of year because they are timeless and will not go out of date. But they can also be adapted for topical purposes on 'slow news days'. Let's suppose there is a dull story in the news about supermarket price wars. You may not come up with a strong topical gag about this but you can read out the story followed by 'Do you know what really annoys me about supermarkets?' - and then use one or more of the observations about them from the 'JOCK BOOK' Volumes 1 or 2. Some topics have a single observation, others have a number, many of them in several parts. You can use as many as you have time for and save others about that subject for another show, even if it's months later. The 'JOCK BOOK' Volume 1 includes topics such as Banks, Cheap Flights, Classic TV Shows, Dentists, Food Labelling, Holidays, Internet Shopping, Mobile Phones, Rock Festivals, Schooldays, Supermarkets and many more. 200 humorous ideas. Price £26. The 'JOCK BOOK' Volume 2 includes topics such as Beaches, Buskers, Friends Reunited, Hotels, Horoscopes, Internet Cafes, Nightclubs, Pound Shops, Supermarkets (again!), Tabloids, Z-Listers and many more. 200 humorous ideas. Price £26. The 'JOCK BOOK' (Seasonals) is a shorter volume consisting of material which can be used in any year but only at certain times. Topics include Bank Holidays, Christmas, Diaries, New Year's Resolutions, Valentine's Day and more. 50 humorous ideas. Price £6.00. Special offer: Order The 'JOCK BOOK' Volumes 1 and 2 together for the discounted price of £49 and receive The 'JOCK BOOK (Seasonals)' free! Sent hard copy by first class post. Further volumes to follow. Please note that due to the large amount of timeless material included for the price, I will not be restricting sales of the 'JOCK BOOKS' in any areas. I will, however, try to avoid selling copies to different presenters at the same station. Programme Directors, why not order a 'communal' volume for use by all your presenters, who can then cross off items as they use them? I can accept payment by cheque, PayPal or transfer.
