Book description
Bigger, badder, sharper, ruder, funnier, bestier . . . this all-new
companion volume to the 2005 Christmas bestseller IS IT JUST ME OR IS
EVERYTHING SHIT? perfectly complements the first book to form the
standard reference work on the shittiness of modern life - like a
part-work, only good. 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 . . . Steve Lowe has written for numerous publications
including Q, BIG ISSUE and BLENDER. Alan McArthur was deputy editor of
SOLIDARITY and has worked on campaigns for free education. They met at
Cardiff University. This is their second book (writing, not reading).
Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur write about music and politics for various
newspapers. They have a sneaking suspicion that everything is shit. This
is their first book.
