Description

“Hilarious ranting and moaning, but always set up within the context of a real and interesting storyline”.
“The world this guy inhabits, many will recognise. But some of his solutions to the key issues of the day might make a few wince”.
“Laugh out loud funny for grumpy old - and not so old - men. A perfect gift for that frustrated male in your life”.
“Manages to be extremely funny and savage at the same time”.

Not for the faint hearted, this is my individual take on a wide range of situations and circumstances that have either amused or irritated me over a period of some forty five years or so, of a varied but ‘normal’ life (whatever ‘normal’ is). Some of the observations relate to big political, cultural, National or International issues; some are flippant minor irritants that nevertheless I’m sure other people will have come across at some point and have opinions on (maybe the same as me, possibly the polar opposite). Most of the content is politically incorrect in the extreme, a point of which I am particularly proud.
Topics covered include: the curses associated with modern road traffic; caravans; airport security; the French (always a winner); Britain’s Railways; Political (in)decision making; modern computer technology and mobile phones; petrol filling stations; the modern washing machine; the education system and teachers; pensions and savings; crime and prisons; board and card games; Parish Councils; the ageing population; the joys of DIY; information overload; women and men; competing in the global economy; shop assistants; visits to the dentist; men and doctors; the Channel Tunnel; latest advice from politicians; recycling; climate change; baking programmes on television; bonfire night; (Un)Social Media; and motor racing.
All the Chapters are based on real situations and circumstances, but stretched and exaggerated to the absolute limit in order to emphasize the points being considered. The work is based on ‘a grumpy old man’ style ‘rant’ perspective, but de-personalised and ‘softened’ to make it vaguely legal and not alienate too many potential readers.
It aims to ridicule Politicians and the detached world in which they operate, bureaucracy in all forms and authority in general. In fact all situations where idiocy overwhelms common sense. However, in addition to simply ‘throwing nail bombs’ at officialdom, the book also offers ‘tongue in cheek’ solutions to many of the issues raised. Always exaggerated in the extreme to draw attention to the complete inadequacy of the current ‘status quo’. But always also recognising that there is no means whatsoever, of ever changing the current status quo; or at least not in a positive manner. So, just like many before us; onward and downward.

Finally, rather than a load of bull - I thought I’d just give it to you straight. After all, that’s what’s on all the inside pages. So, have I got 50,000 golden literary awards to my name? Err, negative. And how many zillions of books have I written? Err, how about one - this one. And have I sold books all over the planet in mega-tonne quantities? Err, possibly not. So, all in all, this might be the biggest pile of rubbish ever penned by any living organism. But what if it isn’t? What if it happens to be sort of okay? Or, even a bit better?
Now, part of this work was sent to just one literary agent, who responded kindly and efficiently with: “we don’t feel this is the right project for our Agency - but we wish you luck” - and a link to a website where I could then sift through the details of 50 billion other agents and have another stab. At which point, I sort of decided I just couldn’t be bothered with all that faffing about. Instead, I’ve just opted to give anybody the chance to have a look.
So, if you happen to be a miserable grumpy old sod like me and you enjoy a good moan; you just never know, it might be for you. MANY THANKS - from PLANET me.
