'I nearly lost my shit laughing' - Waldemar Januszczak, Sunday Times

The Burglar’s Dog is BACK! Due to clamouring popular demand - the revised and updated Burglar's Dog Alternative Guide to Drinking in Newcastle upon Tyne is AVAILABLE NOW in all good bookshops and on that there internet. Hell, yes.

Mooching by the tills in Waterstone’s, looking up the skirt of Kylie’s book in HMV and being clagged with SIGNED COPY stickers in the mighty Back Page shop in Newcastle, the official 'Best Toilet Read' of the year is here again to tickle your tadger.



And like they did last year, publishers tonto press are running a limited edition badge offer, but this time there's a set of FOUR featuring the scabby wee mutt in traditional local costume. Read on!

Depicting the full range of Newcastle's latest fashions - or at least the ones we saw on a slow walk from the bus stop up to St James' Park last weekend, these collectors' items will make you the envy of your social circle and the scourge of the many, many bars we've managed to piss off with our forthright reportage.

Want a closer look? Of course you do.

Fuckin' waxa, eh?
