Has this ever happened to you? You're reading Romeo and Juliet but
you keep getting frustrated because there's no bank heists and
barely any surfing. You're halfway through watching Point Break on
your laptop when you slam it shut, shouting "this doesn't even
rhyme!" You're trying to hold a copy of a Shakespeare play and your
Point Break DVD in the same hand so you can pick up a cup of coffee
with your other hand but they don't fit together and they slip out
of your hand so you try to catch them with your other hand but that
spills coffee all over your white t-shirt and the play and the DVD
and the cup hit your toe and you cry out in pain but then you
glance at the title of the play and it's Much Ado About Nothing
which just adds insult to injury so you throw your head to the
heavens and scream "there has to be a better way!" Well now there
is. Point Break and Shakespeare, together at last.

Cat's log, day 345. Human finally accepts her place in the home.
When you look into the enigmatic eyes of your beloved cat, it can
be hard to know just what on earth is going through their curious
minds. Well you needn't wonder any more, because after intensive
research and cat-psychology study, we have cracked the kitty code
and can now reveal all the secrets of the moggy world. You'll find
out: - what your curious kitty really thinks when you try to play
with them - why they love knocking things off tables so much -
what's behind their disdainful looks - why it's so hard for them to
decide whether they want to go outside or not - why they get really
cheesed off when your culinary skills fall short of their
expectations This charming and fully illustrated book is the
perfect gift for any cat lover, or anyone who has ever been owned
by a cat.
Once upon a time, a young grey Rabbit explored a forgotten WW2
chemical dump. Being young and foolish he drank some sweet tasting
liquid. Very soon he was experiencing growing pains and, by the age
of one, was five feet eight inches high and talking English with a
South London accent. He called himself, rather un-originally, Bunny
Warren and become a bit of a Dick; a sleazy, alcoholic, wise
cracking, Private Eye. This is a report of one of the
investigations of Bunny Warren, the Strange Case of the Missing
Ginger. When a lady goes missing from a premier rate call line,
Bunny and his beautiful assistant Jane, go in search of her. Along
the way, they get drawn into a web of bad guys, fiesty females and
a very odd mad scientist.
