I bought this for a fellow employee for christmas and he got a good laugh out of it. Highly recommend

Caution, if your man is grumpy, this book will tend to worsen the situation for a while after he's read it. He will interpret it as a validation of his behaviour. You on the other hand will find solice in it: you're not alone in suffering and hey, there's grumpier mongrels out there in the world!

"Men between the ages of 35 and 54 are the grumpiest group of people in history. Grumpier than their parents, who were just glad to have survied the war, and grumpier than their children, who don't care about anything except iPods and tattoos."

I saw the series on the BBC and imediatley identified with the titular Grumpy Old Men despite not being in the age range they suggest. Then I got the book. It does cover some of the series again, but is still the funniest thing I've read in ages. The book covers such topics as who we are, what are we grumpy about and how to spot us.

Odds are you know a grumpy old man. It's even more likey that you share some of our peeves. But you should get the book, just to make sure. You'll either identify with us...or be one of us...
