Book Description
It's not easy being a superstud in bed every night when you're exhausted and the only thing making your blood boil are the football results. What about trying to be a DIY genius when the only jigsaw you've ever tackled before had 500 pieces? Not to mention being a sharing and caring Dad when the kids are driving you up the walls. You're supposed to be good in a crisis, like when the dog pees between the floorboards (kick him out the door and spray disinfectant between the cracks), and the mother of all househusbands-- programming the DVD with one hand while making a feeble attempt to iron with the other. There's barely time to have a few pints down at the pub with the lads.
While women are said to Want It All, men are often expected to Do It All. Mostly they fail miserably. Dan Buckley's mixture of observations and home-brewed philosophy reveals what it means to be modern man. Inspired by weekly poker games with a bunch of the guys, the trials and tribulations of the 21st-century male are here laid bare.
All names have been changed-- not to protect the innocent, but to protect the author.
