Is it Just Me or is Everything Shit?: Vol. 2.: Volume Two [Hardcover]

For IIJM: 'One of the many things that irritates these guys is rave reviews: so I'll just say it's very funny and recommend you to buy it. Unless of course you're a big fan of the Daily Mail' Stewart Prebble, author of GRUMPY OLD MEN *'An A-Z rant about the naffness of modern life that's so relentlessly bitter it's actually rather uplifting' MARIE CLAIRE *'Bilious old-codgering taken to the highest possible level ... Excellent' TIME OUT

'Lowe and McArthur make you think about the rubbish around us,
from Superloos to Lemsip'

'This one is just as provocative and amusing as the first'

'"Help" desks, credit card adverts and taxi TV take the shoeing
they deserve'

Entries include: David Cameron, Lemsip, Baby Asbos, Dream homes, the Chinese Communist Party, Chefs' families, Zac Goldsmith, the Olympics, Credit cards marketed as sources of spiritual enlightenment, Nu-Torture, Cornish nationalism, Detox socks, Stag weeks and Politicians called David. Because, if anything, it just keeps getting worse ...
