Eviscerated Panda - Vulgar Display of Panda is the third book that
follows Reading's premier thrash band as they chase musical success
and fulfilment. They play gigs in Camden, Coventry, Kentish town,
Reading and High Wycombe. Often the need to also attend to the rest
of their lives gate crashes their plans. Were it not for paid
employment, families and the pursuit of women they would be a
global success by now. They find some things are never easy, while
some people are always easy. Phil revels in the attention of an
interviewer, the Pandas record an album and Suzy's band management
career sees her take on another group of men. Ian gets lucky, and
then he gets lucky again and again. He'd like you to high five him
right now. There's a metal pilgrimage to Wacken for some. The
singer of another band troubles the Panda's womenfolk. A baby is
born, some criminal activity occurs, a gig with a glam band
bemuses. The near waking of a baby is averted by a story about
Carrotlicker Tonguewiggle and chums (a band of bunny rabbits).
There is a haircut, an engagement and peace made with old
adversaries. If this all sounds too exciting rest assured there are
also a great many band practices, cosy pub nights in the Green Man
and a spot of shopping.The metal soap opera that is Eviscerated
Panda continues...
Have you forgotten how to relax and enjoy yourself? Do you run
around in circles mistaking dizziness for happiness? Your troubles
are over, for you hold in your hands the means to take control of
your destiny, to turn your back on obligation and conformity, or at
least hide from them in the toilets for a bit. Shirk, Rest and Play
is a comprehensive illustrated handbook for wannabe drop-outs,
dreamers, drifters and gadabouts. Authors Andrew Grumbridge and
Vincent Raison - along with their panoply of wastrel acquaintances
- offer ruminations about finding beauty in the ordinary, lessons
in tactical slacking and detailed advice on how to get more out of
life by doing less. They cover all aspects of modern existence,
moving smartly through Childhood, Work, Leisure, Home, Money,
Health & Beauty and, of course, Death, where even amid the
tears and sadness, you can still find plates of mini-burgers. This
book is the call to arms you've been waiting for, giving you all
the tips, shortcuts and (de)motivation you need to duck out of the
system and live life on your own terms.

the girl of his dreams. Fenchurch knows how the world could be made

Have you ever experienced a strong compulsion to head for the
hills? In your dreams have you ever pictured yourself running free
over some beautiful moorland landscape, with the wind in your hair
and the heather tickling you elsewhere? Perhaps, until now, you
have put it down to eating cheese before going to bed? Well, maybe
it is the Call of the North - inviting you to explore the Pennines.
Maybe it is time to set aside life's problems, step into the
footprints of the heroes of old and lose yourself in some exquisite
wilderness. Join Peter Lancaster as he dodges death and disaster
travelling the Pennines, with only 'Auntie' (his 1963 Rover) for
company...apart from his wife Jane, sheepdog and pint of beer. When
life is an uphill struggle, why not pause and take a look at the
view for a while?
Here is a collection of short stories and doggerel, told by a man
who, due to retirement, has too much time on his hands. There are
simple tales of simple tasks, carried out by someone against whom
everything and everyone seems to conspire, and for whom nothing is
as good as it used to be. Nothing is straightforward and very
little goes right. Whether it's riding on a toboggan with his
granddaughter or taking his cat to the vets, the results are
invariably the same - disaster.
Sad people who sit in front of a television set wishing they could
get some adventure in their lives should take note of the contents
of this small tome as it proves beyond doubt that even in the prime
of life the rush of adrenaline can still be achieved. This is the
second volume of factual events undertaken by a group of people who
should have the wisdom of age but choose to ignore it.

Eats, Cheats and Leaves (How to deal with your philandering cad) is
a humorous, self-help book in light verse. Beautifully illustrated
by the cartoonist Gemma Hastilow (of Horrible Science fame), each
verse takes us through the traumas of the woman betrayed, and how
to deal with that philandering man. Starting with the caveat that:
It isn't just men who're unfaithful, Some women are equally bad,
But this booklet is written For women once bitten By the classic
philandering cad. It therefore makes no apology for addressing
women, who are told how to spot the philanderer, and then, for the
unfortunate majority who don't spot him in time, how to deal with
him and the chaos he causes. The verse takes us through 5 clearly
marked parts, from discovery, through grief, anger and action-plan
to recovery, and each part addresses the reader directly. This is a
book for all women who have ever been betrayed, and for all women
who are likely to be betrayed (so pretty much every woman). It is
fast-paced, optimistic and a bit of a lark. As Caroline Sanderson
from The Bookseller says: 'This witty and wise consolation in verse
should be made available on prescription for every wronged woman.
It dispenses oodles of sisterly succour, and lashings of healing
humour.'
As a nuclear engineer, Zsolt Stani k lived for decades in the
fascinating world of atoms, nuclear reactions and reactors and was
surrounded in his everyday life with the language of the trade. It
dawned on him that there was also another world - the everyday life
of people which was inspiring and often amusing. His stories and
books are inspired by this and deal with absurd situations and
normal human challenges. He was born in Kozice, now Slovak
Republic. Between 1993 and retirement, in 2006 he held the position
of Information Manager at the UN International Atomic Energy Agency
in Vienna, Austria. At present he lives in Prague, Czech Republic
and holds the position of Consultant in Nuclear Knowledge
Management. The book contains 17 mostly funny short stories. The
three more voluminous are Hollywood Contemplations, Everyone Yearns
for Svetlana and An Angle in Hell - Betty, the Story. Hollywood
Contemplations is the story of a group of retired senior citizens
who refuse to sit around doing nothing and hence, with daring
spirit, venture into the world of fantasy and become famous movie
stars. Great stuff. Svetlana is the young Russian lady whom
everyone desires. It is the story of marital and extra-marital
relationships with a fabulous twist in the tale. It presents a man
of two faces who successfully pretends to lead a comfortable and
serene married life and at the same time leads an intimate life
with his lover. An Angel in Hell is the story of Betty, a
true-to-life heroine of post-war Europe. It describes the bravery
with which she overcomes the trials and tribulations of everyday
life in Britain at that time.
Several strips of South Africa's most popular comic, Madam &
Eve, are collected in this satirical compendium. It follows the
motley crew of Madam, Eve, Thandi, and Mother Anderson-who are like
old friends to most South Africans-as they dash about in their
dysfunctional, chaotic, and totally recognizable South African
household. Important political and world events are experienced by
the characters, providing a current South African perspective with
humor.
