Anorak in recent times, has taken on the description of a group of individuals, who arm themselves with assorted accessories such as flasks, lunch box, compass, torch, head-lamp, Swiss army knife, notebooks, binoculars, cameras, stepladders, video and audio recording equipment, choose to compile lists and albums of a variety of obscure collections, such as the numbers from the sides of trains, buses and other means of transport or details of films and songs and other memorabilia. This term is to mean any dull individual who follows a hobby which appears boring to the majority of people who find other more attractive - once they have passed the legal age for sex and alcohol. It is easy to recognise an anorak, since they tend to know many obscure and trivial facts on their hobby subject and are quick to seize an opportunity to impress others with their vast pedantic knowledge of unimportant information! This is an unprecedented compilation of knowledge under one cover, never seen before! The author - Neil - who describes himself as an anorak, has taken 5 years in which to gather all of this information. This should benefit the discerning pub-quiz goer, and fellow anoraks to no end.The information is laid out in an easy-to-follow question/answer format, under specific headings. This is the essential one-stop book for useless trivial information...
