A comedy about football, fortune, and a fanatical fanWhen Rob
Cooper, editor of the anarchic soccer fanzine Wings of a Sparrow,
receives the latest in a long line of solicitors letters, he
suspects yet another law suit has landed in his lap. Instead, he
finds himself slap bang in the middle of a situation the likes of
which fans the world over have dreamed about since the birth of the
game. He gets the chance to be chairman of his rival football team,
giving Rob the chance to do to City what he, as a United supporter,
has always dreamt of doing. But when your dreams become a reality,
they very quickly take on a very different meaning. Sometimes they
can even turn into nightmares. Not simply a tale of revenge and
bitterness, this is a light-hearted story of one man, the great
game, a small fortune, and a season of personal discovery.
In book 1c of the Dung Beetle Learning series, mummy takes Susan
and John out for an exciting day trip in London, as part of their
new re-education programme. Looking, thinking and re-evaluating the
world around them is a crucial part of a child's core development.
A simple stroll down the local high street is magically illuminated
by mummy's insights into the nature of society, religion, art and
the various other forms of hierarchal or patriarchal oppression.
