Dee Quemby's book is not just a wonderfully warm read but a very
actual account of the most demanding and difficult life in show
business, that of the COMEDIAN! I told Dee many moons ago that she
should enter the idiom that is the easiest life in showbusiness,
that of the TV drama actor. That of course she has done to grand
acclaim. Get the book it's a great read! BILL maynard Deirdre was
my first dancing teacher for 13 years and I owe her a great debt.
She is a very talented performer in her own right and it would be
great to dance with her again. I still think there's something very
big around the corner for her! Stephen Mear (Olivier winning
choreographer of Mary Poppins) Dee was brilliant as Emmerdale's
Lulu Dingle. But if she'd had access to Lulu's crystal ball and
been able to see how tough it would be for a mainstream comedienne
to get a break in modern TV, would she have persevered? Dee's book
is moving, honest and funny. Garry Bushell (tv critic)
Unless you took Home Economics classes in school or your parents
gave you instructions so you could help with the household chores,
you may never have learned the various tasks involved in cleaning a
house. In both housecleaning and football, one needs to know what
to do as well as how and when to do it....in other words, a "game
plan" is required. The Story relates the experiences and research
required to develop the game plan. The Playbook puts it all
together to provide a handy and useful game plan. There are
strategies, executions and lists of the equipment necessary. Tips
for effectiveness and efficiency are features mixed in with a bit
of cleaning trivia which might someday come in handy during awkward
"pregnant pauses" at a cocktail party. This handy easy to
understand guide may be especially helpful to that bright eyed and
bushy tailed offspring moving out of the nest, a newlywed couple, a
recently divorced or widowed friend or even someone who doesn't
know the difference between a mop and a broom.
In his humorous memoir, Steven Locke chronicles the mishaps,
adolescent hazing, general confusion, and breathtaking stupidity
exhibited by himself and experienced by those unfortunate enough to
be in close proximity. He presents a whimsical journey through his
experiences as he matured from an adolescent focused on creating a
revolt in the high school cafeteria into a young man ready to
tackle a warped world.
Recalling a lifetime of adventures and misadventures, Locke
shares vignettes describing run-ins with high school principals,
military policemen, irate hotel managers, firemen, university
police officers, and Columbus cops. From rural Centertown, Ohio, to
Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and from Ohio State University to the
classrooms of Ohio's public schools, Locke takes a humorous romp
through nearly fifty years of existence as he somehow manages to
learn valuable life lessons while on fugitive manhunts, in
emergency rooms, and atop snowy Alpine slopes.
A Peck of Trouble offers an entertaining collection of stories
that detail one man's coming-of-age journey on the Big Blue Orb as
he evolves from youthful barbarian to enlightened adult.
This is a cartoon book featuring Bobby, a dog with ideas on how
people can be active after they retire. Bobby shares his ideas with
the reader. He also provides illustrations of his two masters, both
retirees, performing each activity in a way that is silly or
perilous to them, but humorous to the reader. The humor is witty,
lighthearted and unpretentious.
