A satirical tale of four white, middle-aged men struggling with women and other frustrations of modern life and deciding that it’s time to fight back.
Doctor A. Sinnick with his overbearing woman ‘boss’, Mrs Pettifer, is the only one with a proper job and money, but Sinnick can only stay sane by writing anonymous letters and poems to annoy those in authority and talking to his imaginary friend, Freud, who sits at a control panel inside Sinnick’s frontal lobe.
Quentin Kelp has just lost his seat as a Member of Parliament to a twenty-six-year-old Liberal and teacher of creative writing called Prudence Bottomley who wears a pony tail and beige cardigan. What on earth would such a woman know about running the country? But Quentin is hurting and needs a new challenge.
Unemployed accountant Charlie McTavish is nothing like his rough Hell’s Angel looks suggest. If proof was needed that Charlie is in far more need of assertiveness training than either of his two past wives then look no further than his current transport, an underpowered Honda moped and his home, a tiny, windowless room above a Chinese take-away.
And then there’s Paddy O’Brian, the Irish owner of a struggling fish and chip shop whose wife Maeve took the Ryan Air flight back to Cork as soon as she caught her first whiff of hot chip oil and left Charlie to run the business alone with only his collection of Irish novels and poetry for company.

Arthur Godley, proprietor of Godley's Garden Gnomes and Godley Investments
meets his maker in unusual circumstances and, in the process, learns a few costly lessons.
God's Factory is a short, twenty first century version of Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol".
Quentin Kelp, the fictitious Member of the UK Parliament for the constituency of Krupton has figured in my life for too long. He started out presenting weekly "newsletters" to his constituents some fifteen years ago on Spoof magazine and got regular 4 stars. Quentin flits between political parties and describes himself as a “fence sitter”, a position which enables him to float in the vacuum of emptiness created by all the others.
His collection of newsletters was first published in 2019 as "Quentin Kelp - Uncensored Newsletters". He joined with three others in "Four Men" (see above).
