Fucking Good Manners
Autor Simon Griffinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 noi 2019
We’ve
all
got
a
million
things
to
do
and
are
constantly
connected
to
millions
of
other
people
all
doing
a
million
other
things,
so
the
faster
we
get
things
done
the
better,
right?
Wrong.
Among
all
the
busyness
and
confusion
it
seems
we’ve
forgotten
a
few
of
the
basics
in
life,
like
the
ability
to
treat
one
another
with
respect,
dignity
and
some
fucking
good
manners.
Enter
Simon
Griffin,
author
ofFucking
Apostrophes.
From
the
entry-level
stuff
like
saying
please,
thank
you
and
sorry;
manspreading
on
public
transport
and
double-lane
queuing
at
airports,
to
those
that
require
just
a
little
bit
more
thought,
such
as
correct
urinal
protocol
in
public
toilets,
making
tea
rounds
in
the
office
and
online
public
displays
of
affection,
Simon
imparts
rules
and
advice
to
living
life
in
a
way
that
makes
it
just
a
bit
better
for
everyone.
With
some
liberal
use
of
rude
words
thrown
in
to
emphasise
the
point.
With
chapters
on
driving,
social
media,
the
environment,
getting
on
with
your
neighbours,
and
the
best
manners
for
a
trip
to
the
cinema,
this
is
the
perfect
gift
for
a
manners
enthusiast,
or
those
in
need
of
a
gentle
(but
sweary)
nudge
in
the
right
direction.

Recenzii
'The
author
of
Fucking
Apostrophes
(which,
when
teaching
writing
skills
to
undergraduates,
I
used
very
successfully
to
persuade
them
to
take
an
interest
in
the
correct
use
of
that
punctuation
bane)
takes
on
another
of
life's
biggest
irritations:
bad
fucking
manners.
With
chapters
on
driving,
social
media,
the
environment,
getting
on
with
your
neighbours,
and
trips
to
the
cinema,
it's
the
perfect
gift
for
the
courtly,
the
oafish
and
uncouth,
or
those
in
need
of
a
gentle
(and
sweary)
nudge
in
the
right
direction.'
'Just before every vestige of good manners disappears, author Simon Griffin has come to the rescue with an etiquette book for the world we live in today [...] it is full of good sense.'
'This writer is quite brilliant at drawing satire out of social situations by poking fun at their boorish protagonists. He is effortlessly funny at every turn and humour is the motor which drives the corrective crankshaft ... Simon Griffin's book could not be more current'
