As Beverley Cooper-Flynn emerged from a meeting of Mayo County Council in Castlebar on Tuesday, the photographers caught her carrying the book Shooting from the Lip. Quidnunc had never heard of this, but the Internet had. On Amazon, it is listed as written by one Katie Puckrick. A review describes it: "Katie bops and boogies her way through life in this all swinging, all dancing, all eating book. This book is a must for any go getting girl or boy who has felt at the edge of life whilst living it to the full."
As if that wasn't appropriate enough, further research revealed Puckrick to be "a ladette" TV presenter from the US. Her autobiography is described as "an account of outrageous adolescence, a secret marriage to a man she only met once and her Bible bashing father". Maybe Bev got it as a present.
