Volume One

Do you ever get cranky, cantankerous or crochety about the way others carry on? Join Ross Burns for a purgative dose of whinges, tirades, and politically incorrect rants about other people's gross and mind-numbingly offensive habits.

His co-passengers' inconsiderate behaviour on a flight from Darwin to Perth pisses him off in a major way, and before he gets home to Margaret River, he's reached 100 grumpy gripes, from flat-packed furniture to foodie wankers to flies. A lifetime of observing the irritating and annoying things other people do is distilled in this list. He shares it with you in case he's not the only Grump on the planet. Deeply negative and cynical? Hilarious and scathingly perceptive? Or just a load of bollocks? You be the judge.

And watch out. This is only Volume 1!

The book features 100 quirky and hilarious illustrations by Karen Clarke - www.planetphoebe.com

About the Author

Ross has spent over six decades observing the astonishingly annoying ‘things’ that people do on a regular and uncaring basis. Three law degrees have been of little practical use to him. His one claim to fame is having run the Boston Marathon four days after his sixty-fifth birthday. Expert in nothing,  Ross has, nevertheless, spent a lifetime pursuing perfection in the theory and practice of Grumpiness. Prepare to squirm while you laugh—if you dare to read his politically incorrect rant.
