Questions You're Not Supposed to Ask provides enlightenment on life's taboo subjects, with a healthy dose of laughter thrown in for good measure. The aim of the book is to arm the ordinary person with the sort of knowledge that is jealously guarded by the Powers That Be and so release the individual from the chains of ignorance. Some of the questions refer to bodily functions (Why is sex so much fun?), some debunk government falsehoods (Why do we pay tax?) while others delve into the supernatural (Is there more to life than meets the eye?) and others simply explain how things operate (What is physics?). Loads of fascinating information and a highly entertaining read from start to finish.

From the monotonous lark to the rough-faced shag, these poor birds have us all asking: ARE ORNITHOLOGISTS OK? Some people will literally name all the birds instead of going to therapy, and this book exposes all the weird and wonderful monikers these poor feathered creatures have been tarred with. From the go-away-bird and the common loon to the sad flycatcher and the sombre tit, we seriously have to wonder why such disturbed ornithologists even went into this line of work. Tits, Boobies and Loons is for all fans of birds, language and rude words. Or anyone who secretly considers themselves a bit of a red-rumped bush tyrant.

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.
