If you hate: loft living; bar-clubs; Tony Blair; chick lit; global warming sceptics; Keane; loyalty cards; IKEA; Kabbalah; bling & Richard Curtis...then you need IS IT JUST ME OR IS EVERYTHING SHIT?
- an encylopedic attack on modern culture & the standard reference work for everyone who believes everything is shit. Which it is. This book is for the large percentage of the population interested in saying NO to the phoney ideas cretinous people useless products & doublespeak that increasingly dominate our lives. This book is designed for everyone who thinks they may have mislaid their soul in a Coffee Republic. Never before has there been a book so completely full of shit. This very funny well-informed belligerent rant of a book adds up to an excoriating broadside against consumer capitalism that the authors hope will sell loads of copies.

Well hello to you dear browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didnt tell you a little about my literary feast. So here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors peculiar lack of physical coordination & sometimes unexplained nudity that accompanied childhood & adolescence? Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany say sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures
- surely its plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me? I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences
- from school days to life as an office temp
- & here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you too dear reader) some much needed caution & guidance on how to navigate lifes rocky path. Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well fret not for this is my attempt at one & lets call it because its fun a Miran-ual. I thank you.
