Dads are curious creatures.

They think nothing good happened to music since the time they were teenagers, have strong opinions on the best type of screwdriver, and live in fear of an even scarier creature called Mum.

What's worse, they only have a limited vocabulary that they can use to express themselves.

And what Dad says and what Dad means are very different things.

Full of classic phrases and eye-rolling dad jokes, Boring Things Dad Says is the hilarious guide for understanding just exactly what your dad is trying to tell you, with chapters on:

· The golf trip

· Meeting the boyfriend/girlfriend

· The shed

· Grandchildren

· Christmas

Whether you're looking for a funny stocking filler for men or a joke gift for a new dad, Boring Things Dad Says is the perfect present for dads of all ages and in all their forms!

About the author

Rupert Baxter

Rupert Baxter is a former IT technician turned writer. He lives in Milton Keynes with his long-suffering wife and three children.

Beyond writing, Baxter has a passion for garden landscaping: religiously mowing the lawn every two weeks, planting cuttings stolen from the local garden centre and continuing the ongoing construction of a water feature that he swears is nearly finished.

On Friday nights Baxter performs in a Motorhead tribute band with his two best friends from school. They practice in the garage that Baxter sound-proofed during Lockdown. They have their first gig booked (mates rates) at a 50th birthday.

Boring Things Dad Says is his first book. Baxter has high hopes that it will be a Sunday Times bestseller.
