Did you know that the average male bladder can hold approximately one pint of liquid? However, when it comes to an Irishman, his bladder tends to have a somewhat larger capacity. The bladder of a healthy Irishman can typically hold at least 750ml which is nearly one and a half pints. Yet, there are always exceptions to the norm. Every once in a while a man with an exceptionally large bladder emerges, and with some training and determination, he can accommodate a significantly greater volume than the average person. Famous, among other things, for his remarkable bladder capacity (it is well-known that before having to relieve himself he has, on occasion, imbibed up to four pints of lager), Johnny Two Kebabs shares his experiences in this fifth instalment of his memoirs. He sets forth in gritty detail how, during a "ridealong" with two police officers, they are suddenly called to investigate the murder of a prominent Conservative MP. It is in this gripping narrative that Johnny portrays how his "enhanced bladder capacity" plays a crucial role in foiling a daring assassination attempt orchestrated by the Cornish separatist group, the C.N.L.O.

The art of boxing, political ideology and gender fluidity all play a part in this latest fascinating chapter of Johnny's experience. In these pages, we get closer to understanding Johnny's 'philosophy of life' when we join him in a 'diversity and inclusion' training course, while at the same time he hunts down "the mixed doner murderer."
In the novella "From Russia with Chilli and Garlic Sauce," the legend of Johnny Two Kebabs is finally confirmed as being an astonishing reality. For years, the world has questioned the existence of this larger-than-life character, dismissing him as being merely an urban myth or a product of Irish folklore. But now, in his own words, Johnny Two Kebabs steps out of the shadows to set the record straight. This is the man who, on 15th June 2011, after having already imbibed 13 pints of lager, then proceeded to polish off two doner kebabs in 1 minute and 59 seconds. In this memoir, he writes candidly about his experiences in the high-stakes world of international intrigue and seduction as he pulls back the curtain on London's dark underbelly. Amidst assassins, Irish pubs, kebab shops, and under the influence of super-strength lager, Johnny recounts how he thwarted a Russian assassination plot on British soil. As he navigates the perilous world of high-stakes intrigue, he paints a vivid picture of a life filled with danger, passion, beer and the doner kebab.
When Johnny's underpants are stolen, such is his outrage that he takes a solemn vow: Until the day he tracks down the underpants thief and brings him to justice, he will 'go commando.' Deprived of his jocks and driven by a relentless desire for justice, he investigates not only the theft of his undergarment but also the circumstances surrounding a trail of bodies left in south London by the 'underpants killer.' Could the underpants thief and the underpants killer be the same person? Is the serial killer a 'trophy hunter'? With no jocks on, will Johnny get a chill in his kidneys? These are the questions Johnny must answer as he 'rides bareback' in his quest to find the culprit.
In this second volume of his memoirs, Johnny describes how he infiltrated a dangerous gang of 'activists' and thwarted a plot to carry out a series of terrorist attacks in the U.K. In a race against time, he uncovers valuable information, but the deeper Johnny ventures into the heart of the gang's dark machinations, the more difficult it becomes to tread the path of righteousness as truth and falsehood seem to mingle into a surreal mirage. As more of his complex psyche is revealed, we learn about Johnny Two Kebabs 'the man' as opposed to just the public figure. Further insight is gained into his 'inner journey' as well as his 'outer journey' when he describes his experience of partaking of 'The Kebab Of Truth.'
