In 2018 Tom Watson had a quadruple heart bypass, he'd heard these operations could change your life and this one certainly changed Tom's. In 2019 he was retired and bored and joined his local U3A - University of the Third Age - and joined a writing group and then another two. Tom didn't have much to offer in the way of intellect but had real-life stories from what he thought was a rather boring life.Tom was persuaded by his fellow students to put together this memoir of his life because they thought it was an interesting life. Tom was not convinced but relented. Sometimes he laughs, sometimes he cries and quite often he swears, it's how it was when it was, f*ck, it's how he is.Tom hasn't led a boring life!
