Pure Derry Summary

Pure Derry by Pure Derry

It's the biggest thing to hit Ulster since the recession, and now the Facebook sensation is in print for the first time.

Pure Derry brings you local and world satire from Derry - the self-appointed centre of the universe. Featuring the best bits from the Facebook page in one hilarious collection - the jokes, stories and features that you've laughed at, objected to, commented on and shared over the past ten years.

Featuring stories covering Derry City FC's most glorious defeats, the Orange Order's disastrous wooden pallet shortage of the 12th July, the DUP's distress at the introduction of the Kia Provo, horsemeat scandals, Ryanair prices, and much much more.

And don't miss our special feature, '50 Things To Do in Derry', which includes such absolutely essential experiences as eating a gravy ring for breakfast, double-parking outside the Central Library, getting into a fight in the queue at City Cabs, and complaining about everything.

Pure Derry Reviews

'a very different take on the city'


Some people say the best thing about Derry is the road out of it, but those people can't ever have used the A6. No, the best thing about Derry is Pure Derry. It's as good as the A5 would have been if we hadn't spent the money on Larne and Carrickfergus

-- Newton Emerson

Pure Derry is the best thing since weird ritual cannibalism. Or sliced bread, as I like to call it.

-- Jesus

Irreverent. Offensive. Intelligent. Daft. Closely observed and totally essential. In the sturdy spirit of Swift, Orwell and Private Eye, PD now justifiably claims satirical pole position in the City of Culture.

-- Mark Patterson

About Pure Derry

Long before Mark Zuckerberg started taking over the universe, one friend request at a time, Pure Derry lived on an old-fashioned website. One that was lovingly hand-built with good ol' HTML pages, dodgy blue links, animated GIFs and one of those groovy hit counters that went up by one every time someone came knocking. Pure Derry returned to the world of men in the shape of a Facebook page in the summer of 2012. Freed from the shackles of producing time-consuming 'editions', the editor (it is rumoured) now simply writes stuff during his lunch break, hits post and goes back to work. Others claim he gets GBP1 from Bill Gates every time someone shares a post. Pure Derry now has more than 18,000 fans on Facebook and is known to a new generation of readers, who were probably too busy playing with Power Rangers last time to pay much attention last time out. This book is all our best bits (not necessarily in chronological order); the jokes, stories and features that you've laughed at, objected to, commented on and shared over the last ten years.
