Dana Snyman sien dinge op sy eiesoortige, aweregse manier. In deel
een is hy op pad saam met die TV-span van Op pad met Dana. Soos
hulle die land deurkruis op soek na stories, beleef Dana nie net
die lief en leed van die mense met wie hy gesels nie, maar ook sy
eie innerlike reis. Hy kom huistoe met 'n optelhond -- en met 'n
nuwe manier van kyk. In deel twee kyk hy rugby. In kroee,
township-huisies, saam met oom Frik du Preez en Joost van der
Westhuizen. Snaaks, skerp en onthutsend eerlik.
I like cooking, my family, and my pets. Who knew that the lowly
comma could be such a lifesaver? Make your 8th grade English
teacher proud with a calendar that uses punctuation, grammar, and
humor to stop unnecessary chaos in its tracks. Printed with
soy-based inks on FSC certified paper, this 12" x 12" wall calendar
features large monthly grids that offer ample room for jotting
notes, along with six bonus months of July through December of
2022. Also includes moon phases (CST), standard U.S. and
international holidays.
This book looks lightheartedly at golf and golfers, and includes
some verse and cartoons illustrating many aspects of this wonderful
game. The cartoons and the poems can be looked at and enjoyed
individually and, perhaps, shared with others where you think the
depictions might be particularly appropriate. Most golfers will be
able to recognise, relive and smile at many of their own golfing
experiences.
As an author, Bill is probably better known, under his byline of
Sean Collins, for his books set in the shadowy world of global
intelligence. He has been contributing, under several bylines, to
international magazines and press for over four decades. As a
travel writer, critic and editor, Bill has travelled extensively,
from Taipei and Tahiti to Hong Kong and Bora Bora. In Travails
Abroad, he takes a retrospective look at the embarrassing dilemmas
and outright disasters which have befallen him: from being glued to
a jeep in Tahiti, being trapped in an outside toilet on a
mountaintop in Turkey, and trying to attract the attention of the
staff of a Berlin restaurant to the fact his wife was on fire. He
says: `all the disasters in this book are absolutely true - I have
witnesses. I trust what I endured may appeal to the reader's sense
of humour and sympathy - they certainly didn't appeal to mine at
the time...' Bill admits that potential travellers reading this
book could be forgiven for deciding to stay at home.
My name is Holly Yellow. I can't spell for to ffee! At times I
really thought being able to spell would feel like owning the
world. Frankly, I have tried practically everything from normal
tutors teaching me to crazy methods. It's only now I realise it
really does not matter! Why did I think it did? Even when nothing
makes any sense life goes on and so does Holly's fantasy
misspellings. All the incidents actually happened a " the book is a
true account of Holly's individual's experiences growing up. When
you're near her you're guaranteed something is going to happen. The
book gives a dyslexic humorous insight into the confusion, thinking
and coping skills developed by Holly Yellow! As an author I have
written this book for my friend Holly who cannot spell. All I can
say if you can't spell, Oh Well What The Hell!

by the police, the Irish intelligence service, his best friend Joe,
and his own ever-loving wife, Peggy. Even Frankie's dog is out to
get him.He did nothing to bring any of this on himself. By nature
he is a kind, selfless and public-spirited person. He goes out of
his way to give advice and support to friends and neighbours, even
when the bastards don't deserve it. All he ever asks is to be left
in peace to watch football on the telly, and occasionally to stroll
down to his local boozer, Magowan's, for a pint. It was Frankie who
was the inspiration behind the establishment of the pub golf
society. Now his personal reputation and prestige in the community
rest on Magowan's beating a rival pub in a major golf challenge.
How is he going to make this happen as a fugitive, cut off from all
that he holds dear?
