Getting Off

Rob Patterson is 45 and stuck in a dead end job. Well, so what so are lots of people. And his wife's left him, took the kids with her. Yeah well, shit happens, you might shrug, somewhat heartlessly. Then, out of the blue, Rob wins a Spanish holiday in a competition and decides to round up five of his old friends - The Lads - in a last gasp attempt to recapture his youth and escape the mind-rotting, soul-destroying drudgery of everyday existence. Can he turn the clock back? Can he put his life back on track? Especially when the lads aren't even lads anymore. Can a fortnight in Majorca really do all that Is that even what Rob wants anyway? Erm ... What was the question again? Anyway, here it is. Buy it, read it, chortle, empathise, weep, resolve to start anew. Whatever.
