Hmm. Does that make it the last, last hurrah? Or the next last hurrah? Either way, Des Molloy, author of the frankly brilliant "Last Hurrah" is about to visit the UK to talk about his book and DVD. If the book is anything to go by, Des is a fascinating bloke and will surely be worth a ride out to visit.
