A hilarious self-help book for recovering Leafs fans everywhere. We’ve all heard it. The sound of one team sucking. Our team. The Leafs. It starts as an almost imperceptible hum, a month or so after the home opener, once the shine of the new season wears off, building in intensity with each defeat until the sound explodes like the noise a star might make if you ripped its heart out. Fact is, being a Maple Leafs fan is a kind of addiction: irrational, compulsive, dependent. You can’t just quit cold turkey. You need help … And that’s where The Sound of One Team Sucking comes in. Think of it as your own portable support group, designed to accompany you through another disappointing season (plus draft day!), and guide your recovery as you strive to live a more emotionally and spiritually balanced life. Written by Leafs addicts, The Sound of One Team Sucking is a hilarious meditation on the futility of Leafs fandom.

This engaging collection of letters gives a quirky picture of family life in Britain under fifteen years of rationing. Everyone and almost everything was affected, from pets to fashion, corsets and turn-ups, to cigarettes, restaurants, heating and petrol, and the availability of fruit, eggs, vegetables and bread, and much more. Millions of people coped with what they had. With direct candour, they wrote letters when they thought improvements could be made, right from the start of rationing, in 1939, until all restrictions were lifted in 1954. In these amusing, honest, surprising, poignant and occasionally hilarious letters you'll find anything from concerns about socks for the Home Guard, children holding up a banana skin for a refill at the greengrocer's, to fear of pets choking when rubber bands reappeared after the War. Slip back in time and enjoy!

Kept in a bird-coop by his parents, Sunny McCreary endured a childhood of neglect, abuse and being bullied by pigeons, only to find it was all downhill from there. In the course of the most painful life ever, he survived tragedy and maiming, a savage convent school education, being pimped out in pink-satin hot pants, a degrading addiction to helium, and having a baboon's arse grafted onto his face. Then things got really bad. More horrible than A Child Called It, more heartrending than Ugly, more repulsive than the Alastair Campbell diaries, My Godawful Life is the misery memoir to end all misery memoirs and the feel-bad book of the year. "At last, a book to satirise the endless parade of misery memoirs. I seized upon this like manna from Heaven ... A glorious overload of dysfunction." Sue Baker, Publishing News

Divertentissimi, grotteschi, satirici, paradossali, questi racconti sono stati scritti a quattro mani nell'arco di vent'anni. Sono la parodia sciocchina e divertente dei romanzi rosa... Alcuni sono decisamente datati, altri fiammanti e chiaramente piu attuali. Il genere "rosa," come tutti i generi, e serio e sognante, serve (soprattutto al pubblico femminile) per uscire dalla dura realta quotidiana fatta di uomini esigenti e padroneschi, da una societa spietata e da alcuni topos e logos decisamente antifemminili, anche se alcuni romanzi sono autentici capolavori. Purtroppo, il romanzo rosa e stato a volte utilizzato proprio in funzione "antifemminile," per convincere il pubblico che si... La vita e dura... Ma che l'amore trionfa sempre. Donne, il principe azzurro si trasforma quasi sempre in un ciccione ciabattante che rutta e scorreggia, a volte si fila le amiche della moglie e, in qualche caso, persino delle figlie... Ecco cio che troverete in questo libro...
