Following in the curmudgeonly footsteps of One Grump or Two & The Grumpy Driver's Handbook Grumpy Golfer is a compilation of all things miserable about playing golf. Mark Twain famously said golf is a good walk spoiled " but actually it's a lot worse than that. Golf can be a good life spoiled after you become enraged with the behaviour of a Stableford competitor & bury a sand wedge in a place where it's impossible to get relief. All the evils of golf are included: the slice the hook the snap-hook the shank the first tee duff & the yips. There are also sections on annoying hazards such as lakes streams trees deep bunkers greenkeepers dog walkers & bringing along the girlfriend. There are the usual tirades against a variety of golf-themed items: clubhouses two-tier driving ranges golf gloves ladies tees pitch & putt the 1-iron geriatric fourballs golf magazines scorecard pencils Peter Allis links courses bizarre putters metal drivers & winter rules. All in all a great book for grumps." ...

Grumpy Old Christmas

So - tis the season to be jolly is it? Well not in the household of the Grumpy Old Man it isnt. In the case of the GOM tis the season to have to put up with even deeper layers of vexation than usual and the only thing worth celebrating is that it looks as though you might after all be surviving to the end of what has been another crap year. Everything about Christmas gets up our snitches. Everything. From the breakfast telly presenters who tell us its now just 120 shopping days to go to the annual festive strike by airport baggage handlers. From office parties where drunken juniors have waited the whole year to tell you what the trouble with you is... to parents videoing their precocious brats at the atrocious school nativity play where your kid is playing the part of the donkeys rear end.
From the woman next door who drops in to show your wife the diamond ring her prat of a husband has bought her to the 150th opportunity to see Whistle Down the Wind on the telly. And speaking of wind theres the festive Xmas turkey that tastes like blotting paper soaked in a puddle and sends your digestive system to hell. And how on earth are we really supposed to look happy when someone buys us a tie with a picture of xxxxing Santa on it? Eh?
