I used to love an adventure, but when I hit my thirties I started to become afraid of the world, until I was too frightened to even go outside at all . . . it was just me, my phone and my social media feeds. Doesn't sound too healthy, does it? It wasn't.' By the time Rob Temple hit his thirties, he had become so afraid of the world that he couldn't leave the house. Depressed and anxious, he found himself drifting deeper into solitude.

Later on, Rachel's Place is restored to its original state & Steve is rewarded as a hero for putting The Dragons away for a long time. Urkel will be hooked to a wire and Steve's conversation with Chain will be tape-recorded. Lieutenant Murtaugh tells them the plan: while Urkel is in The Dragons' hangout, he and Carl will be in a white van listening to their conversation. Born To Be Mild is a mixing pot of experiences that includes zany humour, hardcore cringy embarrassment, poignant reflections on mental health and a shed load of interesting experiences that a lot of people can connect with in important ways. I don’t do a lot of things in my life because I am socially awkward and anxious about new experiences. Born To Be Mild has taught me a few things and the two most revealing elements Rob Temple has provided me were that adventures are better with friends and that anything can happen, you just need to show up. A funny, life-affirming memoir from the creator of social media empire Very British Problems, about how to start again when everything’s gone wrong. By the time Rob Temple hit his thirties, he had become so afraid of the world that he couldn’t leave the house. Depressed and anxious, he found himself drifting deeper into solitude.It’s fun! I was so ready for a fun book. It’s also wonderfully comforting, even when out of the comfort zone, if this makes sense. Anxiety is such a common denominator (or maybe it’s just me?) The next morning, the villagers are sleeping next to their now repaired/built vehicles, and King Dedede & Escargoon are covered in a blanket by the Waddle Dees whilst sleeping outside. The trio are already awake, however, and plan on finding Gus; the latter enters his darkened garage to unveil his ride when the postman questions him. As Gus is trying to get him out of his business, they're swiftly approached by the gang and asked about a legendary bike rider, Steppenwolf, and implies his age to be the same as the postman's and attempts to get the elderly cappy onto one of their motorcycles for a ride.

As someone who has experienced crippling social anxiety, and has spent much time in Peterborough, Born to be Mild resonated with me on every level. That night, Rachel and the others laugh about how Carl taught The Dragons a lesson in manners and respect. Then, the phone rings. Harriette answers it and learns from Carl that The Dragons returned to Rachel's Place to finish what they started earlier in the day. The damage is far worse than Rachel had ever feared: tables and chairs lying everywhere, video games damaged, the glasses and china broken and The Dragons' logo spray painted on the wall.Best quote from the book....when he decided to become flexitarian!! ( veggie, but with the option to add meat or dairy whenever he feels like it!!) I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. Again I become trapped by myself and this time, completely unchaperoned, I can’t resist the urge to drink.” If you are looking for an advice piece that will guide you, hold your hand and explain ways to deal with mental health problems head on then this is not that type of book. It is a mostly hilarious, sometimes distressing, interior monologue of a man setting out to bypass his defeatist nature and symptoms of severe anxiety to live his life on the mild side.

Rob Temple. Double oh mild. The man behind the fantastically funny and very truthful Very British Problems (a book I cherish and refer to often). There is no suggestion by the book’s end that Rob’s numerous new experiences have led him to some kind of blinding moment of self-enlightenment. The struggle is real and takes place on a daily basis. The point is to keep trying, to keep mixing things up, to trust, at least partly and sometimes, in the goodness and generosity of others.Before leaving town, the Dedede and his posse steal gas from Gus's station, but as they drive past Gus, he remembers Fang just as Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby catch up to him. After confirming that he knows Fang, Tiff grows impatient and demands for more information. Gus then reveals that Fang was an old friend of his and that he was a part of his gang, but left it a long time ago and swore to never ride his bike again, and after Tiff suggests using it to reason with them, the adult simply claims that he was unable to. As he's left incapacitated by fear, clips are shown of the gang terrorizing the cappy shepherd and his sheep and a group of cappies that own farmland that's located in the outskirts of town. We then see a group of cappies with Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby trying to come to a solution to drive them out of town. The only solution they come to is fixing/building their own cars to fight the trio.

I really wanted to like this but it seemed like an unrelated list of anecdotes that were mildly depressing. Instead of gentle laughs or rueful smiles I felt indifferent to the 'problems'. Urkel: Big guy, you okay? Carl: No, I'm not, Steve. I want revenge. Urkel: But you can't. You're a cop. Carl: But I'm a father first. Urkel: Wait, wait, wait. I said wait. Carl: What is it? Urkel: Now you're upset and with good reason, but if you go out Dragon bashing, they'll scream police brutality and you'll lose your job. The word "GANG" was airbrushed out one of the toolboxes probably because his name in the dub is Gengu. To stop being frivolous for a moment. Rob Temple has written a book that is at times very poignant as well as being very honest, self deprecating and extremely funny. There are not many books that make me laugh out loud or keep me reading while my 10th cup of tea of the day goes cold.Rachel asks him if The Dragons can do whatever they want and get away with it. Carl refuses to go that far, but Eddie staggers into Rachel's Place, badly beaten up and tells them that they can.
