 "Hire a prostitute" ?! January 5, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read all of the reviews before purchasing this diary and I am glad I went with the majority! So far I have only completed two tasks "Make a new years resolution that no one has ever made" and "Turn your home into a restaurant" but I am really enjoying it!
I think there are multiple versions of this diary (An European version and an American version), but from what I can tell so far with the European version there are not tasks such as "Hire a prostitute for something other than sex".
I do think that this diary involves a sense of humour and should be taken for what it is. A diary which suggests you do things, which you would never think of doing, then record what happens by writing in the diary or the blog which you can create on their site.
If you are still unsure about whether to buy this diary I would go to []
Trying reading some of the blogs which people have posted and decide for yourself whether you like it, rather than reading a review by somebody who either exaggerates greatly or has absolutely no sense of humour.

If you read something about the item you are buying, it makes it slightly easier to decide whether or not something is appropriate.
Given the authors other work is entitled "Lose Weight! Get Laid! Find God!" it's probably a fair bet that his book has some risky sexual humour, and that if finding god is actually important to you it might not be to your taste.
If you like Mock the week, I'd wager you'll like this. If you prefer the Today show and find Have I Got News for You a bit risky sometimes, I'd leave it alone.
In the interests of clarity I should point out that I don't own this title, but given the insanity of one of the other reviewers it is now on my wishlist. I'll be happy to post a further review after christmas once I've actually read it.
In the meantime be careful out there - I've just heard a disturbing rumour that bears do indeed relieve themselves in woods. Although apparently the Urbanbear prefers to do it outside Wetherspoons at 3am in the morning.

Just got my diary for 2009 and as always it was very funny and has some great tasks. I'm actually going to try and make a proper effort to do more of them next year... Cant wait to turn up at hospital with a mystery illness and I might even give Communism a go. But even you if you never get round to doing the tasks (I haven't always been that diligent) I would recommend this diary - looks great and its loads of fun.
If you need a laugh in 2009... November 10, 2008

Very funny diary/book that gives you instructions on how to lead your life. Instructions include "subvert consumer society from within" (you're meant to leave anti-capitalist messages in luxury goods), call up your school teachers to fill in gaps in your education, and loads of others. Some are feasible, some aren't, but its generally hilarious, and really well-designed.
 Fine if you have an odd sense of humour November 8, 2008

I bought this as a Christmas present for my brother as it sounded fun but I have returned it because it isn't appropriate. If you have a slightly sick, anarchic sense of humour you will enjoy this diary. But the suggestions to, "dig your own grave", "hire a prostitute for something other than sex" and "post a libelous photograph of your friend on the internet" appeal to a certain sense of humour and are suggestions I could happily live without!
