Product Description
Product Description
Whether wielding the sly insult or offering direct contempt, pouring the coldest of water on the grandest of plans or spoiling the happiest of days, or else simply groaning and grumbling in the background in counterpoint to the cheerful bustle of lesser mortals' lives, the commentary of the grump adds wit and savour to everyday existence. From Bob Geldof to the late John Peel, W. C. Fields to Groucho Marx, James Thurber to Evelyn Waugh, Winston Churchill to Dorothy Parker, the world has always produced its share of grumpy, moody, grouchy, pessimistic, world-weary, cynical and curmudgeonly types (and doesn't include some fantastic fictional figures) and this marvellous menagerie of moaners will be sure to brighten your day, for the truth is - whether we're laughing with them or at them - grumpy people are funny!
