Frankie Flynn is a hunted man. Hunted by a gang of murderous thugs, 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?

She wants to get out of the city, aspiring to a life of dinner parties, kitchen diners and en suite bathrooms.

Eats, Cheats and Leaves (Paperback): Jane Bailey Eats, Cheats and Leaves (Paperback)
Jane Bailey
R255 Discovery Miles 2 550 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Eats, Cheats and Leaves (How to deal with your philandering cad) is a humorous, self-help book in light verse. Beautifully illustrated by the cartoonist Gemma Hastilow (of Horrible Science fame), each verse takes us through the traumas of the woman betrayed, and how to deal with that philandering man. Starting with the caveat that: It isn't just men who're unfaithful, Some women are equally bad, But this booklet is written For women once bitten By the classic philandering cad. It therefore makes no apology for addressing women, who are told how to spot the philanderer, and then, for the unfortunate majority who don't spot him in time, how to deal with him and the chaos he causes. The verse takes us through 5 clearly marked parts, from discovery, through grief, anger and action-plan to recovery, and each part addresses the reader directly. This is a book for all women who have ever been betrayed, and for all women who are likely to be betrayed (so pretty much every woman). It is fast-paced, optimistic and a bit of a lark. As Caroline Sanderson from The Bookseller says: 'This witty and wise consolation in verse should be made available on prescription for every wronged woman. It dispenses oodles of sisterly succour, and lashings of healing humour.'

Here is a collection of short stories and doggerel, told by a man who, due to retirement, has too much time on his hands. There are simple tales of simple tasks, carried out by someone against whom everything and everyone seems to conspire, and for whom nothing is as good as it used to be. Nothing is straightforward and very little goes right. Whether it's riding on a toboggan with his granddaughter or taking his cat to the vets, the results are invariably the same - disaster.

The first book in twenty-five years from “one of our great comic minds” (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld’s best work across five decades in comedy.

Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”

For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this “trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners” (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.
