He and his gentle colleague Ray, a man with all the sense of a Savoy cabbage, are tortured by Doug, their imposing and unpredictable supervisor, and a malevolent one-legged ex-museum curator called Saleem. In love with the truck-obsessed Nancy, Phil strives nobly to maintain his equilibrium despite being systematically mystified, brutalised, drugged, derided and seduced. But when he loses his eyebrows, he decides to fight back.","brand":"Contact us for shipping time estimate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42540429017246,"sku":"HPC-9780007436040","price":21.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9780007436040.jpg?v=1681258558","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780007436040","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
