It's time to embrace the slower pace! There's no denying it -
you're OLD, but that comes with a lot of perks. You can say the

however you damn well please. And after learning from so many
mistakes, you're now as wise as you are wizened. It's your time to
recline, and this hilarious book will show you how it's done.
The ultimate adult colouring book, bursting with hilariously rude
language. When the pressure's on, lessen your stress and let your
creativity loose - along with a volley of swear words! The calming
patterns and intricate designs in this colouring book are adorned
with amusing obscenities to keep your hands busy, your mind
occupied and your feet on the f*cking ground. Colour the cr*p out
of it!
Ever wondered how to make a garden attractive in December? Or what
to do with that corner by the dustbin? Answers to these questions
can be found in this compact and charming book of tips for the
green-fingered, accompanied by Heath Robinson's highly inventive
and humorous cartoons. First published in 1938, the book gives an
insight into gardening trends on the eve of the Second World War
while also addressing common concerns faced by gardeners. It
features many typically elaborate contraptions such as the Combined
Telescopic Spaderake for digging and raking at the same time, the
Inebriate Roller for making wobbly garden paths and the Osoeezi
Slugsticker. While some are patently ridiculous - a lawn is
de-thistled and resown with the help of a barrel of grass seed
strapped onto a small donkey - others are before their time, such
as a special pump that can divert your bathwater into your garden
hose, a contraption that is not wildly dissimilar to gadgets on the
market today. Finally, the growing of vegetables inspires some sage
advice: 'with the right kind of upbringing, a marrow will attain
astonishing dimensions, and can be used for boasting purposes.'
Poking gentle fun at a British obsession with a detailed
illustration on almost every page, this book will delight both
aspiring and experienced gardeners alike.
