Format:Paperback
After reading He Died With A Felafel In His Hand and The Tazmanian Babes Fiasco, this book came as somewhat of a disapointment. It is pretty much a manual on how to be a man, from choosing the right suit (including 1 inch of shirt cuff showing) to buying a car. It is funny in places, especially the true stories, but you wouldn't really know that John Birmingham and Dirk Flinthart were involved in writing it

Lads, please read this 6 Jan 2002
By James Flavin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In these modern topsy-turvy times in the 21st century, it is good to see someone come to help us lads be Men.

Birmingham & Flinthart have given us all we need to know about being men, including:
* how to tie a bow tie,
* how to land a jumbo,
* how to cook (to show women we aren't cavemen),
* how to spot a cheap suit,
* cars to avoid on the freeway,
* superstars of philosophy.

If this book cannot help you, you are either the perfect man or way beyond help.

Funny and so true! 25 April 2000
By Cat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book has a wealth of information and I would not hesitate to say that EVERY guy should have a copy of this book in his bookshelf!

It contains invaluable instructions like 'how to land a jumbo','how to cheat at cards' and gives instructions on what should be in your toolbox and what cleaning you have to do around the house and what you don't! Not to mention the 'quick and easy food recipes to impress girls' and job instructions ie 'how to ask for a raise'.

Everyone I've shown this book to has been desperate to borrow it and I've had to steal it back on a number of occasions....

Buy this book - buy it now!

* how to cook a gormet meal using canned peas, Morningstar bacon strips, and a bottle of ketchup
* how to go on a inexpensive date and get a return on your investment
* how to make your cheap car look more impressive with a paint roller and a can of latex wall paint
* how to apply makeup to accent your manly features
* how to cry, so you can make a woman think you are emotional and caring
* how to choose the right socks for any occasion
