This title is the ultimate companion to "Fresh Meat", written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain. What's the secret to JP's sexual prowess? How does Howard beat the buffet every time? What does Vod really think about drink, drugs and Salman Rushdie? And will Kingsley's diary spill his true feelings for Josie? (hopefully not as stomach-churning as Oregon's sext messages with Professor Shales...). Edited by Oregon, and with contributions from all of the housemates, this is a real guide to student life - the one the preachy brochures and prospectuses don't tell you about. From moving into a student house to fresher's week, from choosing courses to choosing friends, the book records every detail - hilarious, sordid, poignant and triumphant - as the young ones stumble through university life.
A scrap book of diary entries, manifestos, diagrams and guidelines it includes: JP's weekly shopping list and first Hollywood screenplay, Josie's student recipes for 'Munge' (and 'Chunge'), Vod's literary criticism and hangover cure, Howard's James Bond fan-fiction and guide to the anatomy of a cow, Oregon's literary erotica and personal rejection of her Cambridge rejection letter, and Kinglsey's band reviews, poetry and critique of the university Ultimate Frisbee Society. Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain are British comedy writers, who met whilst studying at Manchester University. They have collaborated on acclaimed television comedy shows such as "Smack the Pony", "Peep Show" and "That Mitchell and Webb Look". They have written two films together, "Magicians" and "Four Lions" and Jesse Armstrong also co-wrote the BAFTA winning "The Thick of It" and "In the Loop". They jointly received the Writers' Guild of Great Britain award at the British Comedy Awards in 2010. "Fresh Meat" is their latest sitcom and won Best New Comedy at the British Comedy Awards in 2011.
