Bartholomew Start - Did not have the best ‘start’ in life. He was born at the fair ground in Liverpool, to a family of travelling circus folk, who were performing there in 1963. He was a nervous child, but put that down to the fact his mother was fired out of a cannon whilst pregnant. Born prematurely and virtually blind, he was forced to wear beer bottle spectacles as a child. Consequently, he didn’t mix well. He was in and out of schools - due to his parent’s wanderlust. He started to read about nuclear fusion in his spare time. He told his fellow schoolmates he was off to Cambridge. In 1981, he finally got there - his parent’s circus act took them to the outskirts of Huntingdon. His fascination with pooing began very early. Believe it or not, he started pooing the day he was born. By the age of two he was wiping his own bottom, though not very concisely, and by the age of four he was totally toilet trained and never had another accident until he started travelling at the age of eighteen. Bartholomew currently lives in Liverpool with his family, and despite being elderly, continues to poo most days, much to the delight of his daughter, who seems to be a chip off the old block, as she likes nothing better than having a good ‘dump’, then telling everyone about it. CAUGHT SHORT ABROAD is his first book. Highlights from "A good Jobbie" Kick off it most definitely did!!! In the main reception, soon after I’d locked the door and dropped my trousers around my ankles. I finished performing, and mercifully noticed that the toilet had an extractor fan. I pulled the string of what I thought was the extractor fan, but to my abject horror, trousers around my ankles, I’d pulled the chord of the emergency alarm. The noise was deafening, and to make matters worse - made no difference to the ‘whiff’ in the room. A crowd gathered by the door thinking I was in some need of medical assistance. Now everyone in the building had been alerted to my homemade ‘emanation’. The only assistance I required now was a ladder, to climb out of the window - run across the car park, and get back into my car, and drive as fast as I could, back to Liverpool. Failing that, I could follow my turd into the toilet and escape, like Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption. A sense of resignation to the imminent embarrassing low I would face crept over me, as I speedily pulled my pants up, I heard the two girls on reception saying: “Is anyone in there. Are you alright?”
