KIWI SPEAK originally began life as Farm Speak, but I quickly realised there were too many beaut sayings that needed to heard, reheard and reminisced upon. Chapters include: Mum Speak, Dad Speak, TV Speak, Retro School Speak, Saturday Sports Speak, Pub Speak and Road Rage Speak. Here's a taster of what to expect. And here I am on Breakfast.

Ah, cricket, now there’s a sport where you have five days to come up with a funny line. But rarely ever do. If you’ve ever wondered what to yell at the opposition from the comfort of the cheap seats, CRICKET SPEAK is the book for you.

‘Throw him a piano, see if he can play that!’

‘Do you want someone to put a bell on it?’

What to yell at the umpire:

‘You’re missing a good game here, ump!’

‘Whatever they’re paying you, I can match it!’

Things women shouldn’t say:

‘Is this a one-day test?’

‘Why’s it called a stand when you sit in it?’

‘Why’s he wearing a crash helmet?’
