In August this year, inspired by a particularly horrendous date he'd just had and fed up with the trials of single life, journalist and author Rhodri Marsden invited his Twitter followers to send in their worst ever dating experiences (in 140 characters or less, of course). The result was astonishing. Within hours Rhodri was flooded with 1000s of crazy, shocking and hilarious true stories of dating disasters. And as the word spread, people all over the world began to submit their calamitous experiences, sending Rhodri's Tweet viral and attracting the attention of newspapers, TV shows and online magazines drawn to this incredible story. Crap Dates is the best from Rhodri's hilarious collection of real-life dating howlers, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone who has ever had a bad date ...everyone: AdeleLBamber: He drank A LOT & talked about his sister A LOT. I left & he phoned +20 times. Last voicemail was him singing Billy Ocean at 4am. emilyhill1982: Told him I liked reading, he said he wanted to burn all libraries and then talked about football for hours. I hid in the loo. Abzbyrne: I had one who turned up, on a warm summer evening, in a huge arran jumper because he thought I'd like that being Irish.

Imagine my surprise when I opened this book to discover a reference to my dear friend Sebastian (who is rudely described as 'a wooden pet giraffe'). I would like to take this opportunity to point out to readers that Sebastian is not a 'pet', he is a 'life companion', and that the frightful woman who made reference to him in this tacky volume was considerably more wooden than he is.

I read about this book in the Sun newspaper and had to get it ... Its a must read for anyone who is single . It had me crying reading it .
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very prompt delivery and in perfect condition as expected. However, the humour is a little crude and basic and therefore not as funny as I'd anticipated... My fault though as the clues were in the title!

Fantastic Short Read
I loved this, I knew I would from the moment I read an extract in the newspaper. It's laugh out loud funny and hard to put down once you start reading it.

Amusing...
A very amusing read with many laugh out loud stories! Unfortunately the read was over far too quickly. The idea that provided the material in the book was both simple and genius!
