Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies

Book excerpt: One of Australia's favourite and most multi-talented entertainers, Kitty Flanagan, provides hilarious and honest life advice in this candid collection of cautionary tales. Kitty Flanagan has been locked in an industrial freezer in Western Australia, insulted about the size of her lady parts in Singapore and borne witness to the world's most successful wife swap in suburban Sydney. It's these valuable lessons from The University of Life that have taught her so many things, including the fact that cliches like 'The University of Life' are reeeally annoying. In these funny, true stories, Kitty provides advice you didn't even know you needed. Useful tips on how not to get murdered while hitch-hiking, how to break up with someone the wrong way, and the right way, why it's important to keep your top on while waitressing, and why women between the ages of thirty-seven and forty-two should be banned from internet dating. Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies is a collection of laugh-out-loud, cautionary tales from one of Australia's favourite comedians. 'Finally, a book that doesn't tell you to stop eating sugar.' KITTY - CAKE ENTHUSIAST 'Shut your mouth Flanagan or you'll do fifteen in the freezer.' GARY - FACTORY FOREMAN 'I was hoping there'd be more about arson.' BERNIE - LOCAL FIRESTARTER
