67 People I'd Like to Slap is one man's journey through the
labyrinthine world of human angst and annoyance. The comedy writer,
broadcaster and journalist Ian Collins lists, exposes and mocks
that irritating contingent of the human race whose job, it seems,
is to make life just a tad more infuriating than it needs to
be.From psychics to exotic pet owners, Brits using chopsticks and
over-35s at music festivals, through to middle-class protesters,
elderly people in small cars and the billion cringe-crimes that are
committed on social media every day (plus a healthy dose of
well-known names too), Collins's often brutal but hilarious search
into the pit of human idiocy leaves few stones unturned. He also
addresses some of life's most serious questions:* Is Jeremy
Clarkson part of a completely different gene pool?* What happens
when you upset every Beyonce fan on the planet?* Why is Andrew
Marr's sofa an affront to intelligent thinking?* How could a nice
guy like Benedict Cumberbatch annoy anyone?* Has social media
shrunk our brains?* What happens to a sense of shame when men visit
the gym?Part polemic and part diary, Collins spent a year
documenting all those areas (and people) that could bug the hell
out of the calmest of souls. Armed only with a sensible pen,
notepad and a standard High Street blood pressure monitor, he sets
out to create the ultimate list.In the author's words, 67 People
I'd Like to Slap is the non-negotiable oracle of all things
bamboozling when it comes to human behaviour - the definitive guide
that no sane person could ever argue against. Or could you...?
