The Cheeky Guide to Student Life, Revised Edition
Exciting news for students was revealed with a new revised Kindle version of The Cheeky Guide To Student Life, a book long out of print and, let’s face it, long in the tooth.
No longer will they have to suffer outdated references to Gaye Bykers On Acid and Supermuff, as all these have now been replaced with JLS and Adele to reflect the tastes of modern youth. Whole chapters that used to give guidance on the correct use of a quill and inkwell have been expunged to make way for exciting articles on interacting with a computer by wiggling your eyebrows and thinking very hard about Victoria Coren. And all the pictures have been taken out to make it easier to read.
This indispensable guide to essay cribbing, lecture avoidance, housemate choosing, hangover cures and washing machine use instruction is still essential for any student, and includes a spotter’s guide to enable identification of the latest models from Hotpoint and Bosch.

About the author
David Bramwell
17 books14 followersDr. Bramwell is a man who likes to keep busy. A magpie by nature, he is the creator of the successful Cheeky Guide series, founder and host of Brighton’s Catalyst Club and singer-songwriter in the band Oddfellows Casino (Nightjar Records). His music and spoken word material have been featured on BBC radio 1, 3,4 and 6.
David has written books on subjects ranging from difficult words to sexuality for Penguin, Harper Collins and DK, has spoken at and hosted TEDx events, curated a tent at Port Eliot Festival and, together with fellow musician Eliza Skelton, entertained festival and cinema audiences with “Sing-along-a-Wickerman”.
His one-man show, The Haunted Moustache, won him awards for “Outstanding Theatre” and “Best Comedy Show” during the Brighton Festival, a BBC R3 commission for the series Between the Ears and a Sony Award in 2011.
His second one-man show, the No9 Bus to Utopia was based on a year spent travelling round communities in Europe and America in search of a better life. The show premiered in the Earth Ship in Brighton’s Stanmer Park and has since featured as a TED lecture and been performed at Alain de Botton’s School of Life, 5X15, the Idler Academy and Port Elliot Festival. He is happiest, however, performing it in the back room of a pub.
It is worth noting that Dr Bramwell is a medical man by rumour only; approach with extreme caution, particularly if he offers to whip out your tonsils in exchange for a packet of biscuits.
