Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Great?

Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Great?

Wherever you turn these days, there are people moaning about modern life. They moan about speed cameras, they moan about obwsity, they moan about teenagers’ bad grammar, they moan about the Royal Family, they moan that Mars Bars aren’t as big as they used to be and they moan about all those reality-TV programmes showing so-called celebrities moaning endlessly. But the only place anyone really wants to hear prolonged moanin in on the phone from “Sexy Sandra” at $1,50 a minute. Instead of complaining, is it me or is everything great? takes a relentlessly – some might say, recklessly – optimistic view of the world, looking on the bright side and hunting out that silver lining in the stratocumulus.

Fearlessly treading new ground in arguments and conducting defences that even Perry Mason might have baulked at, is it just me or is everything great? puts the case for, among others, Travelodges, Jose Mourinho, the Welsh, wafer-thin ham, health and safety, estate agents, Simon Cowell, call centres, the cello, tattoos, rap music, cold callers, celebrity chefs, water companies, junk mail, fast food, John Prescott, budget airlines, cyclists and wasps.
