Danny Skinner is the bad boy of the local restaurant inspection office, partying hearty, keeping irregular hours and doing just enough to keep a tenuous hold on his job and on longtime girlfriend Kay, a dancer. The arrival at the office of eager-to-please Brian Kibby, a virginal nerd fresh from university, completely throws off Danny's game and draws his unmitigated ire ("Another fucking clone, another Foy arse-licking sycophant"). As Brian's father lays dying, Danny, who never knew his father, sets out to discover his father's identity; meanwhile, smarmy celebrity chef Alan De Fretais, with his filthy kitchen, brings things to a buddy-movie flashpoint.

Hmm....well Welsh is suppose to be a grand writer and wonderful story teller, and maybe, jus tmaybe, if I had a better hold on my Scottish hertiage I might have found this book amusing. But I don't and I didn't. It was just a drag out how long it took to complete itself. Eeeuch.
