The Men Commandments!

For ten years Christian O’Connell has dispensed his wisdom and advice to millions of lucky radio listeners on every topic conceivable. It was when he saw his wife reading and laughing at a book ‘How to Kill Your Husband’ that he realised he had to lay down the man law and write this book; the ultimate manual of masculinity.

In Christian’s sage opinion, it’s tough being a man of the modern age. In a time of man bags and metro-sexuals, men, well they need help. With his outspoken humour and his ironic take on life, The Men Commandments explores male-dom - from why men don’t change the loo roll to the ultimate first XI - celebrating all that is great about being a man and unravelling the mysteries of masculinity that have stumped women for centuries. For the first time ever there is a Bible for Blokes and in it, ten Men Commandments that must be obeyed...

  1. Thou shalt have no other God than the Remote Control
  2. Thou shalt ‘nudge’ according to thy want and need
  3. Thou shalt not be the prick in the back seat
  4. Thou shalt not come between a man and his chicken wings
  5. Honour and love another man – but not in a girly way
  6. Thou shalt turn the cold shoulder when appropriate
  7. Thou shalt hate anyone of whom your wife/girlfriend says “you’ll really like him”
  8. Thou shalt not lust after a mate’s sister
  9. Thou shalt not covert thy mate’s box set of The Sopranos
  10. Thou shalt always take the piss unmercilessly and at every available opportunity
