The contents of this book are based on personal experiences, imaginary characters, and just everyday happenings. It is cleverly laid out, and the author’s outlook on growing up, hanging out, behaving badly, and life’s little ups and downs is outrageously funny.

In every chapter you’ll find something to relate to, because it takes you on a blazing trip down memory lane with uncanny humor, and in between the laughter you’ll pause to say, “Mmm! I hadn’t thought about that in years.”

I am disappointed; I expected much more from this so-called genius writer. SOCRATES

Willie McNeil, street-wise fun-loving Scot meets Raif, sophisticated serious-minded Saudi Arabian. The unlikely companions are soon involved with one of the world's most heinous crime syndicates. Typical Glasgow humour and Scottish dialect lend light relief to the seriousness of the tale and the mixture of naivety and street wisdom in the main characters combined with unpredictable and somewhat unethical behaviour in certain situations cause constant problems. Their quest leads from Glasgow to France and ultimately throughout Scotland. The rough diamond and his cultural friend are involved in a final confrontation with unexpected results in this easy-to-read story; a perfect ending to a very interesting, unusual and enjoyable book.

The original Smart Aleck Chronicles was published to little, if any notice in 2007. As noted in the preface to that volume, it had neither plot or identifiable structure, its intended purpose being to present a series of entertainments on a wide range of ridiculous activities that constitute everyday life. Whether it was faithful to that lofty purpose remains a mystery, even to the author that made that bold declaration. Four years later, a second volume of the Smart Aleck Chronicles appears, its intent no less high minded than the standards of lunacy reached by its predecessor, its implementation no less laughable. This time, as in the previous volume, there are pithy and pointless observations that may have appeared in previous publications for which the author may have had responsibility, fictitious biographies of friends and colleagues, several short works of fiction and top ten lists of observations that may be symptomatic of clinical insanity. Further, just to ensure that the reader is not entirely dismayed, there are also several courageous attempts at poetry.
