About this listen
David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.
But if you’re determined to give it a go, you might enjoy this eclectic collection (or eclection) of David Mitchell’s attempts to make light of all that darkness. Scampi, politics, the Olympics, terrorism, exercise, rude street names, inheritance tax, salad cream, proportional representation and farts are all touched upon by Mitchell’s unremitting laser of chit-chat, as he negotiates a path between the commercialisation of Christmas and the true spirit of Halloween.
Listen to this book and slightly change your life!

Another great British London book
Another excellent British London publish. Sure, there is the odd error... There's always going to be some errors. Considering the ink shortage in Denmark, Mr Micthel did a great job of fronting the £2k just to get this book over the line.

Quite funny
I think this is a copy of articles written in the paper connected with some additional prose. Quite funny.

Brilliant.
Even funnier to look at past stupidities through the articles of the time. To listen to whenever you feel the world is crazy. Because it is

Funny and witty.
I love it, a great read and worth every penny. It is a huge bonus David Mitchell was envolved in the reading.

Classic Mitchellian Rant
It feels like an extension of David Mitchell's rants from WILTY in audio book form, witty and sarcastic.

Worth it!
This book is a bundle of laughs. With his snide comments on the state of the country and other, more trivial things. This book never fails to make me laugh.
