Product Description

Review

'I Lick My Cheese is a collection of nasty notes and petty Post-its that will strike a chord with anyone who's ever shared a flat with a borderline OCD sufferer, or found an unidentified pube in their toothbrush and been moved to action.' ESQUIRE 'I Lick My Cheese is hilarious, revealing some of the odd truths about co-habiting' ELLE 'hilarious and disturbing' The SUN 'Bitter accusations about cornflakes, tooth-grinding, resentment over borrowed clothes, feuds over gas bills, savage observations about personal hygiene - all flat-sharing life is here in this collection of eloquent scribbled messages' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Product Description

'I needed that ham. Really needed it.' 'I pay the rent. What do you do?' 'I hate you more than life itself.' Flatsharing - it's not for the fainthearted. It doesn't matter how friendly and considerate everyone is to begin with, something always goes wrong. Food gets stolen. Loos get blocked. Sleep gets broken. Unmentionable things happen in the living room. At times like this there's only one thing a flatmate can do: write a note. Acclaimed designer Oonagh O'Hagan has collected together over 120 notes in one hilarious and endlessly entertaining package. Ranging from the sweet to the dirty to the downright furious, they will strike a chord with anyone who has ever shared their home with another person. Especially if they stole your ham.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh the memories this brought back ..., 24 Nov 2007

By	Dr. H. Payne - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

What a brilliant little coffee table/loo book. It brought back all the frustrations over other people's domestic (or non-domestic) habits from my student days. The sheer indignation when, arriving home at stupid o'clock in the morning full of alcohol-induced self-righteousness, I found that a flatmate had nicked the last of my bread. Hell had no fury like a woman de-breaded. The passage of time has allowed me to see the funny side of these scenarios and to marvel at how entrenched in petty squabbles I could get.

This book does what it says on the tin. It presents a vast collection of notes (I can't believe that they're real, but they're certainly plausible) along with a little background and commentary. It's a laugh a minute and a great stocking filler this year for anyone who's ever lived with someone other than their parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest book i've read in a really long time!, 7 Nov 2007

By	C. Smith "clair4110" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book on a whim this afternoon and i have been chuckling ever since. I even laughed out loud in the coffee shop several times! This is a fantastic book that really bought back memories from my student days and the joys of the angry notes left to housemates for 'unforgiveable' actions!

It is organised into rooms (where the notes are left), each with an introduction. There are then copies of the notes and then (very humourous)comments on each by the author.

I throughly recommend this book to anyone who has flat shared - it would make a great gift too!

Fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spot on for those Christmas stockings!, 26 Nov 2007

By	Sally Humphries - See all my reviews

Anyone who has ever shared a flat (particularly if they didn't get on perfectly with their flatmates!) will immediately get this book. A collection of notes that range from the funny to the poignant, this book shows just what living in close confines with virtual strangers can do to people's minds. A great Christmas novelty book for pretty much anyone in the family. Buy it now!
