Product Description

We all know about the jungle of 'dating'. But once you've found your 'special' friend you'll have to pretend you like their taste in music, be nice to their mother and pick up their socks, and that's only year one. By the time you get into grumpy old middle-aged land, you're firmly on farting terms and over-familiarity has bedded in. The only thing to do with the whole business is to laugh over it, which is the idea of this book.

Customer Reviews

An absolute hoot!
I am normally sceptical about reviews that state a book was 'a laugh a minute' but in this case it is so true. It isn't just for oldies either. I gave it to my 28 year old daughter and she loved it as well, particularly as she has recently attended several 'hen' celebrations and could relate to everything Jenny and Judith said. Sheer, unadulterated fun!

Right on my wavelength
Absolutely hilarious, embarrassingly so - especially when you are on a very busy plane to Vienna and the bloke beside you thinks you're choking on your bread roll. I was rather alarmed at just how much of it rang true, thus confiming my status as being 50% of a fully fledged G.O.C. *sigh* I'm only 35.....
