I Think We Need to Talk About.: A Year of Ridonculous Thoughts, Useless Advice & Utter Nonsense: Volume 1 January-June

I Think We Need To Talk About… / Volume 1 : January - June

by Robert McCluskey & Emma Sterling

From lost socks to biscuit betrayal, from glitter invasions to fridge amnesia - this is the book you didn’t know you needed, full of things you definitely need to talk about (but probably shouldn’t bring up at work).

A full year of ridonculous daily entries, split into 2 volumes and 1 huge omnibus edition - part diary, part comedy, part therapy — I Think We Need To Talk About... Volume 1 is a hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally unhinged look at modern life, one daft day at a time.

Each entry comes with:

• A pointless thing to overthink
• A fake-but-probably-true mini anecdote
• A bizarre international day you’ll instantly forget
• And top tips that won’t help, but might make you snort tea

Whether you dip into it daily, binge it like a boxset, or leave it in the loo for unsuspecting guests — this book is guaranteed to raise eyebrows, roll eyes, and occasionally raise serious questions about your mental state.

Topics investigated include :

• That Weird Smell in the Fridge
• The Myth of “Just One Biscuit”
• Running Out of Bog Roll
• How Everything Becomes a Lightsaber When You’re Alone
• The Art of Eating Something Fancy Without Looking Like a Gremlin
• That One Guy Who Always Has a Guitar at Parties
• Singing to Your Snacks

And let's not forget the days you've probably forgot, including :

• June 21 is International Make Eye Contact with a Seagull Day
• June 20 is International Dramatic Sigh for No Reason Day
• June 3 is International Invent a New Crisp Flavour Day
• May 15 is International Sea Monkey Day
• April 12 is International Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day
• March 3 is International Stand in Front of the Fridge and Forget Why You’re There Day

This is the first of the "Books For The Bog" series from Sterling & McCluskey - a collection of light hearted musings designed especially for those moments alone in the smallest room, although readers are welcome to dip into these nuggets of wisdom on the daily commute, afternoon coffee break, or the queue for ... well, any queue really.

Look out for the second volume, covering July to December, along with a whole range of Bog Books on other topics designed to make those trips to the Frank Zappa just a little more enjoyable than they already are.

Perfect for fans of calendar chaos, gentle British sarcasm, and the simple joy of saying:

“What the hell is today all about?”
