About this listen

 Do you know someone who is incensed by compulsory tipping? Who is infuriated if kept on hold for more than a minute? Who is positively apoplectic if someone answers their phone during dinner? If so, you've probably encountered the phenomenon of the grumpy old man. Following their first massively successful BBC1 series, this autumn will see the grumpy old men will return to our screens, and this time they're grumpier than ever. Packed with funny and informative chapters such as 'Who are we', 'What are we grumpy about' and 'How can you spot the signs of grumpiness coming on', this book will leave even the grumpiest of men with a grin on his face.© and (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Aging Parent Entertainment & Performing Arts European Film & TV Literary History & Criticism World Literature Comedy Funny Entertainment

I Loved this. I saw myself in the anecdotes and had to laugh out loud at several points. I hope Grumpy Old Men 2 is just as funny.

I bought this book because I like the "Grumpy Old Women" series; but bloody hell is this book tedious.

I'm guessing Stuart Prebble isn't naturally funny - even when using stand-up comedian Arthur Smith it doesn't raise the bar.

It might be that Stuart's words may have been better read by a person with a voice who doesn't naturally Grumpy.

I wonder if this was read by Stephen Fry or Rick Wakeman (both know how to whinge and gripe, but have more expression in their vocal range) would it make this book more tolerable...

It certainly makes more weary buying another Grumpy Old Men book.

Certainly Grumpy
