Product Description
Ah, the single life. The blind dates, the guiltless sleeping in the starfish position, the "table for one in a draught, please". In this book, Jeff Green offers practical advice on how to find love, or failing that how to pretend you've got a significant other half. For women: leave the fridge door open for no reason. For men: wash your towels. And if you've just been dumped, Jeff shows how you can reach "closure", otherwise known as uncompromising REVENGE. Green also includes great chat-up lines for the older lover - "Did you break a hip when you fell from heaven?"; beauty tips for dates - how to look 20 years younger? Stand further away; and things not to say on a first date - would you like to see my shrine to the others? If you're in a couple, this book will remind you why your own situation is - just about - worth tolerating. And if you're happily single, follow Jeff's advice and you're guaranteed to stay that way.

5.0 out of 5 stars comical genius, 28 Nov 2003

By	Davina B (West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Jeff Green has done it again. This book is laugh out loud funny, if you thought the a - z of living together was funny this one is possibly even better. Jeff's chapter on 50 ways to leave your lover are hillarious. His style of humour is relevant to everyone and you can't help thinking 'thank God it isn't just me'. This book is a must read for anyone who likes comedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book, 21 Jan 2004

By A Customer

I could only bear to read two pages of 'The A-Z of Being Single'.. before being reduced to rolling on the floor with aching sides and trying to stop laughing long enough to breathe. If you only read one book this year this is THE ONE. No matter how bad your life is, ten minutes of this book will improve it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, just as good as his first book, 14 Nov 2003

By	Jacqui (Chester, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

When jeff wrote his first book a-z of being single i was disappointed when i got to z, so you can image my great pleasure when i heard he was not only having a second book published but he is single....
The book made me laugh out loud whilst i was reading it in my car wait for the kids, I kept getting strange looks, Customer comments was an ingenious touch which will stay with me forever now. This man seems to be able to know and feel what people go through with their emotions and make you feel its ok mate, we all go through this and come out the other side laughing.
Excellent book. Thank you.

But what next......
