Book excerpt: Book 6 of The Speedicut Papers covers Speedicuts reluctant and unsought involvement in a series of British colonial and imperial disasters in Afghanistan, South Africa, Egypt and the Sudan. Whilst not ducking shot, shell and spears, Speedicut indulges deeply in such pleasures (usually of the carnal variety) that are on offer. I ony met Speedicut once, in 35, when I took him and my nephew out of school for an educational tea. If Id known he was going to write all this tosh Id have drowned the title bugger in his first print Thomas Flashman, uncle of Harry Flashman
