Praise for THE CHAP MANIFESTO: * 'This book is manna to all of us who feel that Rupert Brooke's lines "Stands the Church clock at ten to three?/ And is there honey still for tea?" are among the most poignant in the English languageAs the chaps say: "Welcome to the cult of couth."' Independent * 'It is meant to be a joke but, frankly, makes more sense to us than anything we've chanced across in ages. Inspired.' Jockey Slut
Having overseen the debut-de-siecle Tweed Revolution, Gustav Temple and Vic Darkwood turned their attentions to other pressing matters, such as where to find the most elegant fez. Their research took them to their old stamping grounds of Cairo, Constantinople and Bermondsey. These visits raised a quizzical eyebrow here and produced a winsome smile there, as the pair discovered the true extent of their Charmed Uprising. Temple and Darkwood now oversee hundreds of Chappist outreach projects all over the world, developing various mystical branches of their credo in association with local priests, shamans and soothsayers.
