Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Sh*t? (1995)
Not bad... some good stuff in there.
What is it - here's some info:
"Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Sh*t?" is an encyclopedic attack on modern culture and the standard reference work for everyone who believes everything is sh*t. Which it is.
It is written by Steve Lowe & Alan McArthur, who write about music and politics for various newspapers.
And an excerpt:
Prince Andrew
In 2003, the fourth in line to the throne decided to travel from London to a lunch engagement in Oxford by chartered helicopter at a cost to the taxpayer of £2,939. When faced with complaints about squandering the public purse, a palace spokeswoman explained that reliability was paramount as the Oxford date was a state banquet in honour of Vladimir Putin. Sadly, 'setting out earlier' was, she continued, simply not possible as there was 'something he'd forgotten to do' and also 'something on the telly'.
Prince Andrew loves helicopters so much that when no helicopter can be found for him, he scampers up and down the palace corridors shouting:
'Mummy! 'Copter! Mummy! 'Copter!'
;D
