Bling, Blogs and Bluetooth: Modern Living for Oldies

Are you a kipper? What is nang, for goodness' sake? Where the heck is the Rhubarb Triangle? Do you suffer from affluenza? What is a flash mob, a blog, and slow food? And what on earth is chikenability? All is made clear in this humorous exploration of modern living. Collated from "The Oldie"'s "Modern Life" columns, every new, trendy, obscure, or just downright odd activity--from speed-dating to Pilates--is described with wry bemusement. The result is an alternative guide to contemporary Britain that will ensure readers, young and less-young, know their chavs from their tweenagers.Ingrams, Richard is the author of 'Bling, Blogs and Bluetooth: Modern Living for Oldies', published 2006 under ISBN 9781861978240 and ISBN 1861978243.
