|author=Rob Temple
|rating=3
|genre=Humour
|summary=Are you compelled to apologise multiple times a day – even when you are not at fault, or even to inanimate objects?

Have you been known to commit desperate acts in the search for your next cup of tea? If so, you may be suffering from Very British Problems.

His life is full of political intrigues and mayoral elections, boardroom deals and subterfuge and his life is full of challenges. He doesn't need a dog.

|title=It Could Have Been Yours: The enlightened person's guide to the year's most desirable things
|rating=4
|genre=Trivia
|summary=In a world of diamond-encrusted skulls, gold-leafed iPhones and luxury yachts ten a penny, of blingy shit (or should that be shitty bling?) it's a relief to know people are still spending money on unique one-offs that are more worthwhile. The records for costliest photo, artwork, musical instrument and manuscript have all been broken in the twenty four months leading up to this book's release. Our collators have scoured the press for those and other, similarly noteworthy auctions, and found what other people paid for what you didn't know you would have wanted given the money.
