How to be a Man

Now that Vroom with a View is over I need something else to read. I have a stack of crime/mystery novels but last night I couldn’t be bothered going upstairs to sort through the pile at bedtime, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay awake long enough to really get into something, so I rifled through the mixed bag of books on the bedroom bookshelf. Hmmm, O’Rielly texts, World Wide Web Unleased (published 1997!), Icebreaker 2005 catalogue, Holy Blood Holy Grail, Rules of Golf and settled on How to be a Man (by John Birmingham & Dirk Flinthart) – given as a ‘joke’ present to my man last year.

It was rather amusing, the 2 chapters I skimmed through, but I already knew all that stuff … as I should … but still, interesting to see what men are being ‘told’ … smelly feet are a turn off, choose only cotton socks; scrunch fabric to see if it crinkles before you buy the suit, because if it does it’s cheap; listen when women are talking; don’t fart and think it’s hilarious … I think I’ll start a crime novel tonight after all!
