This book is a sort of dictionary explaining what his unusual vocabulary meant. This has a niche market and it’s a character that’s 80 years old. 1 x 1.

As soon as I saw this book I wanted to have a read as I used to read all the TinTin books when I was little. I thought it would be more how Captain Haddock used such words and phrases, which it is on some occasion. ) This book took me back in time with pictures from the TinTin books throughout.

It’s a alphabetical collection of the Captain’s insults with full descriptions, quite a few could be used today towards some of the high and not so mighty 😁 Though Captain Haddock’s bitterness towards poor old Snowy in The Shooting Star, having forced him to become vegetarian seems an odd insult these days more a healthier life choice today 😁 I think my favourite insult from Captain Haddock has to Slubberdegul-lion this being a filthy, slobbering or slovenly person, not worth bothering with 😂 i shall have incorporate a few these into my vocabulary next time I need to insult someone lol. This is the Farshore Books Blistering Barnacles, An A to Z Of Rants, Rambles and Rages of Captain Haddock, Hardback, 96 Pages and measures 23. Nice read for tin tin fans and beautiful illustrations so it’s a 👍 from me This is a wonderful excursion into the rants and ravings of Tintin's Captain Haddock.

Probably not something the youth of today will remember with any degree of nostalgia but my husband has been a great fan of both characters since childhood and as soon as I saw this book by Albert Algoud I knew he’d love it. Described as 'An A-Z of the rants, rambles and rages of Captain Haddock', a lot of the entries in the book are basically just definitions of words, which is a little disappointing. Why not pour a glass of rum and really enjoy it? My dad affectionally called us ‘nincompoops’ (I’m 50), no insult meant.

If growing up like most of us you watched or read Tin Tin, then you'd be more than familiar with Captain Haddock the stereotypical fisherman sailor who likes a tipple and let's out some very choice words. Firstly, I don’t actually remember Captain Haddock using all of those words (possibly because I didn’t understand what half of them meant at the time. It's definitely a book you can dip in and out of and it's great fun to just flick to a page and read some of the definitions and look at the beautiful illustrations of Hergé's famous characters.

I ordered this for myself as tin tin was a favourite of mine as a child and the grumpy captain Haddock was one of favourite characters. I’m reviewing this based on the quality of the book and the enjoyment my husband got from it.

2 x 14. I saw plenty of everyday comments I heard growing up that weren’t meant to be offensive then, they were said in jest. Do you like Tin Tin?
