There are law books about constructive trusts, the Perpetuities and
Accumulations Act 1964, and the rule in Foss v Harbottle. This law
book is not one of them. Writer David Pannick has always been much
more interested in unpersuasive advocates and injudicious judges.
In this entertaining and sometimes shocking collection of his
fortnightly columns from The Times (London), Pannick passes
judgement on advocates who tell judges that their closing
submissions to the jury will not take long because "I would like to
move my car before 5 o'clock." Pannick also sentences judges who
claim to have invisible dwarf friends sitting with them on the
Bench, who order the parties to "stay loose - as a goose," and who
signal their rejection of an advocate's argument by flushing a
miniature toilet on the bench. Pannick will entertain and inform
the reader about judges, lawyers, legal culture, and law reform. I
Have to Move My Car is an ideal gift for all those who appreciate
the lighter side to court life.

A heartwarming story of friendship and helping out that is perfectly safe for the kids, but with a few snickers that adults with a slightly bent sense of humour can enjoy while reading along.

Sure, you know all about the birds and bees. But did Dad ever tell
you that it wasn't a stork that put that shiny can opener in your
kitchen drawer? Or paperclips started out as proud, Nazi-fighting
warriors? And did he tell you how cruise control was originally
conceived by a blind genius? From mullets to Silly Putty, lie
detectors to karaoke, we've got the true stories behind everything
you didn't think had stories. Because if you're looking for
answers, In the Beginning is the place to start.
