It’s not often that I will write a simple, short, sweet post punting a product (and without pay). Yet I feel compelled to right now.
How could I say no to writing about a book with the word “Kak” in the title? I couldn’t.
Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Kak?
The Whinger’s Guide To South Africa
Here’s a short description of the book:
Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Kak? The Whinger’s Guide To South Africa is a funny, acerbic and deeply satirical attack on everything that makes modern living so painfully painful… Casting aside political correctness, the authors are fed up with car guards, bank fees, minibus taxis, Danny K, quotas, floor crossing, crime, corruption, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, Telkom, Eskom, SA drivers, the Vodacom meerkat, Knysna, Paris Hilton, DSTV reception, under-eye serum for men, dual-flush cisterns that don’t flush properly and, of course, Jacob Zuma…
And some extracts from the book:
Bluetooth headsets
It’s bad enough when people actually use Bluetooth headsets to take calls. But then some of them keep their sets on their ears when they’re done talking. In anticipation of their next call. Which could come at any time. Really. Any time.
Wow, man, you’re obviously very important. And you’re lame. Take it off, please.Braai meddlers
Most Saffers know the code of the braai, but there’s always one guy who steals the tongs when you’re not looking, pokes the coals indiscriminately, pricks the boerie without asking and tries to jump the meat queue. Odds are he’ll be the oke shouting at the ref later before heading to Montecasino for an evening of high culture.
I don’t often buy books to be honest. I read most of my content online nowadays, but this is one book I will soon be purchasing.
