Fully illustrated with photos and line drawings, there are plenty of hints and tips showing how you can make your neighbours' lives hell. Forget working for a living, ASBO is more than a day job, it's a 24/7 way of life - staying up all night playing loud music, smoking and drinking, shouting, screaming and fighting is essential if you want to secure this prized community accolade. There's a guide to ASBO style - from essential wardrobe staple the hoodie to the all-important bling bling accessories plus a dictionary of everyday ASBO speak ensures you'll be able to talk the talk as well as walk the walk. With everything a wannabe ASBO could need to be the most feared members of the community, this is a sure-fire Xmas hit to rival the success of "Chav!"

From the Back Cover

Are you the most feared hoodie on the block?

Do grown men turn and run when they see you?

If not, this book will put that right!

From the authors of the hilarious Chav! A User's Guide to Britain's New Ruling Class comes this essential handbook to getting your won Anti-Social Behaviour Order.

To win this prized community accolade, forget working for a living, ASBO is a 24/7 commitment. Shouting and fighting in the street; stying up all night playing loud music; littering your garden with broken bottles and old TVs you've thrown out of the window in a drunken rage - as well as being annoying to neighbours at all times - essential.

How To Get An ASBO has plenty of tips shoing how you can be as irritating as hell, from driving your chained-up pit bull to distraction so it barks all day long to listening to your iPod at full volume on a packed commuter train.

To help you look the part, there's an in-depth guide to ASBO style - from essential wardrobe staple, the hoodie, to the all-important bling bling accessories - nothing says 'ill gooten gains' like wearing your diamonds as you sign on? And a dictionary of everyday ASBO-speak ensures you'll be able to talk the talk as well as walk the walk.

How to get an ASBO has all you and your family - need to be the most anti-social members of your neighbourhood.
