Imagine you?ve just come back from a caving trip, cold, muddy and tired. You roll up at the pub, desperate for a pie and a pint. As you enter, gathered around the log fire are a group of cavers, roaring with laughter as they listen to a tale told by a good raconteur.

Jim Eyre, one of those storytellers, has finally put pen to paper to write his autobiography, warts and all. Jim has been involved with the exploration of Ease Gill Caverns and the development of the Cave Rescue Organisation, and now his stories have been placed in context with the rest of his action-packed life. Picture Jim as a wild-eyed youth running amok in Lancaster, or as a wartime rating in the Royal Navy, when he didn?t exactly see eye to eye with authority.

Jim?s drawings are famed for their portrayal of knobbly knees and miscellaneous body parts ? nobody would suggest that Jim?s humour is subtle. It?s Only a Game is illustrated with many wonderful cartoons, seen here for the first time, and forms the first part to his life story. Here is your chance to read of Jim?s exploits in the privacy of your own home, where you can laugh yourself silly without undue embarrassment.
