Sod Abroad: The what it's about words
OK, it's not absolutely certain that you'll lose your bags, catch a fatal bout of food poisoning or be unjustly banged up in a foreign jail while you're on holiday. But you might. Why would any sane person risk it?
Holidays aren't economical, there's not exactly ecological, and they're not guaranteed to be all that much fun. There's only one way a holiday can go right (the flannel in the brochure) and hundreds of different ways that the holiday can go wrong (the flannel in my book)
With travel tips, handy warnings, and lists of great stuff you can only do at home Sod Abroad will help you kick the holiday habit.
Instead, why don't you just spend a lovely fortnight on your sofa, in your own comfy home, watching your own telly and eating food you can actually pronounce.
Who knows? If there's nothing on telly you can even read a book....

Proof, if proof were needed
About Me
- Mikey
- Like practically everyone else you meet on the internet, I'm sort of writer. I've written a couple of books. I write for some newspapers, and I write a lot of stuff about the telly. This is that stuff.

I've been a ski journalist for 25 years and it had never before struck me that skiing was such a bad thing until I read your well considered arguments. I am now searching for a new career.
Sod Abroad also seems like a great read. I've been going skiing six times a year leaving my beautiful home in the Highlands. Each time one of the bad things listed in the SA bvlurb happens to me. So why am I borthering to go??? No more!
Good on yer!
Well Gpd bless you for you kind words 'Patrick' - are you my Mum? My agent?
Hurrah! You're back. I will probably buy your book - and I already live abroad.
