It was not long ago when forty-something C. Roberts realized his career trajectory had just peaked at the cruising speed of a 1973 Pinto. Officially at the pinnacle of mediocrity, Roberts decided he wanted to make a real difference in his career-other than bringing donuts to share on his birthday. Tying Isn't Losing details ways in which he eventually achieved his goal. In his compilation of humorous anecdotes, Roberts offers musings on a variety of subjects, including his life growing up in the Midwest and subsequent journey into manhood, during which he soon discovers that copping a marginal attitude does absolutely nothing to help move him from the slow lane into the fast track. As he details how he attended college on the "extended plan" and endured a series of mundane jobs that offered nothing but headaches and little mental stimulation, Roberts provides an eye-opening glimpse into how one man seeking his true destiny learns to look inward first in order to realize his dreams. Tying Isn't Losing shares a compelling story that offers encouragement, empathy, and humor to anyone struggling with finding their way in life.

The website is long gone, but the Dictionary goes from strength to strength and sells particularly strongly at Christmas through supermarkets as well as the traditional booktrade and in gift shops. Tangent Books acquired the Dictionary from Broadcast books in 2009 and released a third edition. The updated fourth edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the original Dictionary. The book is now accepted worldwide as the authoritative guide to speaking Bristolian and has been responsible for a whole new generation of Bristolians reclaiming their distinctive dialect.
