Its the ultimate battle the battle of the sexes and its time to find out the truth about men and women. Make up your own mind with the help of Ian Black and Lesley Riddoch and their hilarious book which looks for the truth behind the age-old questions: Is it a mans world? Are all men really that useless? Are women really in charge? Or will they never rule the world because they take too long to get ready in the morning?

THE GUYS VIEW think about it, chaps, as far as females go, there are dogs, horses and budgies that are easier to understand. In fact, there are giant turtles, jellyfish and even bacteria that are easier to communicate with than females. And, whats more, if any of the aforementioned were to respond, they would make far more sense than any woman.

THE GALS VIEW they leave the toilet seat up no matter how often you ask them not to. They come and offer to help with the dishes/ironing/hoovering only when theyre certain youve just about finished. They invite their mates round to watch the football on the telly and assume that, if theres not enough beer and food in the fridge, youll be only too happy to pop out and get more. And as for the dirty socks and pants they leave lying on the bedroom/bathroom floor in anticipation that the washing fairy will magically deal with them well, lets not even go there!

Ian Black is an author, playwright, journalist and broadcaster. He has written several best-selling books, including Who Wants to be a Glaswegian?, The (Completely Unofficial) Tartan Army Songbook, Two Andy Gorams: The Funniest Scottish Football Songs Ever! and the runaway hit of last Christmas, the hilarious Weegies v Edinbuggers. Lesley Riddoch hosts her own Sony award-winning radio show on BBC Scotland. Lesley was brought up in Belfast and moved to Glasgow in 1973. She obtained an honours degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University although she still cant count. Lesley lives in Perthshire with her husband Chris Smith.
