Review
For IIJM: 'One of the many things that irritates these guys is rave reviews: so I'll just say it's very funny and recommend you to buy it. Unless of course you're a big fan of the Daily Mail' Stewart Prebble, author of GRUMPY OLD MEN *'An A-Z rant about the naffness of modern life that's so relentlessly bitter it's actually rather uplifting' MARIE CLAIRE *'Bilious old-codgering taken to the highest possible level ... Excellent' TIME OUT

INDEPENDENT
'Lowe and McArthur make you think about the rubbish around us,
from Superloos to Lemsip'

IRISH EXAMINER
'This one is just as provocative and amusing as the first'

Customer Reviews

light holiday read
I bought this book at the airport ready to take on a recent holiday. Not bad in places but certainly not as funny as i thought it would be. It was a simple holiday read but did not make me want to read the first one. That said i did like some of the stuff on politicians!!

Funny, but not as good as the first one
I really enjoyed the original and bought this expecting more of the same, which is exactly what I got. It's pretty funny in parts, but the writing's not as fresh as the first one and it would have been more interesting to explore the reason why everything's shite. If you're looking for that kind of thing City Slackers by Steve Mckevitt, which is also very funny covers this quite well.

Is it just me or...
... is this book nowhere near as good as the original? The first had me laughing out loud. This time I laughed three or four times, at most. Sorry guys, but it reads like it was bashed out in a couple of weeks.
