rules!

The kids are in bed, you've had a good meal and enough to drink.
What now? You and your friends don't want to play Scrabble or
Trivial Pursuit and you certainly don't want to watch television.
So why not make your own fun by acting out these small and amusing
plays? They will round off your evening nicely...Oh no they won't!
Oh yes they will!
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.
Nestling in the countryside of middle England, is the village of
Effington. It has a population of 143, but young Tracy Chantrelle,
the village live wire, seems to be single-handedly working to raise
that figure to 150. It is surrounded on two sides by agricultural
land and on a third side there are many acres of woodland beloning
to the Forestry Commission. Completing the borders, are tree-lined
roads that connect us with out nearest neighbours residing in the
semi-rural town of Bloxham. Many people express suprise that such a
village as Effington exists in the area more associated with heavy
industry, but exist it does and in many ways is similar to villages
found in the countryside of Devon. There are a number of small
shops, varying from a Bakery run by Gladys Wellings, Jim Roses's
Hardware Store and a Butchers that is run by Jack (well hung)
Bates. It has it's own church - St. Clarence le Lion - overseen by
a vicar who has been there for almost five years. He is young, and
full of energy and gives his all to his church and his
parishioners. Everyone is very fond of him and he is the type of
young man that every mother would want as a son - assuming that she
didn't mind him being a trasvestite who enjoys dressing in women's
clothing. He's very discrete and doesn't appear to wear anything
out of the ordinary when on duty, but who knows what goes on under
his cassock?

This is a memoir as wry, funny, moving and vivid as its inimitable
subject himself. This book will be a joy for both lifelong fans and
for a whole new generation. John Cooper Clarke is a phenomenon:
Poet Laureate of Punk, rock star, fashion icon, TV and radio
presenter, social and cultural commentator. At 5 feet 11 inches
(32in chest, 27in waist), in trademark dark suit, dark glasses,
with dark messed-up hair and a mouth full of gold teeth, he is
instantly recognizable. As a writer his voice is equally
unmistakable and his own brand of slightly sick humour is never far
from the surface. I Wanna Be Yours covers an extraordinary life,
filled with remarkable personalities: from Nico to Chuck Berry,
from Bernard Manning to Linton Kwesi Johnson, Elvis Costello to
Gregory Corso, Gil Scott Heron, Mark E. Smith and Joe Strummer, and
on to more recent fans and collaborators Alex Turner, Plan B and
Guy Garvey. Interspersed with stories of his rock and roll and
performing career, John also reveals his boggling encyclopaedic
take on popular culture over the centuries: from Baudelaire and
Edgar Allan Poe to Pop Art, pop music, the movies, fashion,
football and showbusiness – and much, much more, plus a few
laughs along the way.

First published in 1998, this volume explores how the genre of
school stories had become firmly established by the turn of the
twentieth century, having been built on the foundations laid by
writers such as Thomas Hughes and F.W. Farrar. Stories for girls
were also taking on a more exciting complexion, inspired by the
'Katy' books of Susan Coolidge. The first five decades of the
twentieth century saw further developments in children's fiction.
In this comprehensive volume, John and Jonathan Cooper examine each
decade in turn, with alphabetically arranged entries on popular
children's writers that published works in English during that
period. 206 different authors are covered, many from the United
States and Canada. Each entry provides information on the author's
pseudonyms, date of birth, nationality, titles of works, place and
date of publication and the publisher's name. The artist
responsible for a book's illustrations is also identified where
possible. With over 200 illustrations of cover designs and
dustwrappers, many of which are now rare and have never before been
published, this book will delight collectors, dealers, scholars,
librarians, parents and all those who simply enjoy reading
children's fiction.

The godfather of British performance poetry - Daily Telegraph The
Luckiest Guy Alive is the first new book of poetry from Dr John
Cooper Clarke for several decades - and a brilliant, scabrous,
hilarious collection from one of our most beloved and influential
writers and performers. From the 'Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman'
to a hymn to the seductive properties of the pie - by way of
hand-grenade haikus, machine-gun ballads and a meditation on the
loss of Bono's leather pants - The Luckiest Guy Alive collects
stunning set pieces, tried-and-tested audience favourites and brand
new poems to show Cooper Clarke still effortlessly at the top of
his game. Cooper Clarke's status as the 'Emperor of Punk Poetry' is
certainly confirmed here, but so is his reputation as a brilliant
versifier, a poet of vicious wit and a razor-sharp social satirist.
Effortlessly immediate and contemporary, full of hard-won wisdom
and expert blindsidings, it's easy to see why the good Doctor has
continued to inspire several new generations of performers from
Alex Turner to Plan B: The Luckiest Guy Alive shows one of the most
compelling poets of the age on truly exceptional form. 'John Cooper
Clarke is one of Britain's outstanding poets. His anarchic punk
poetry has thrilled people for decades ... long may his slender
frame and spiky top produce words and deeds that keep us on our
toes and alive to the wonders of the world.' Sir Paul McCartney
A true story of a bank robber and a chilling car chase worthy of an
Elmore Leonard novel or a Brian De Palma movie. Like many new
arrivals to Canada, Hermann Beier came to this country with big
dreams - visions of a wide-open country where hard work and
entrepreneurial flair would make him rich. A charismatic handyman,
martial arts teacher, and small business owner, he charmed women
and earned the respect of men. He was loved in his community of
Alliston, Ontario, and had a plan to make a million bucks. But when
those dreams soured, Beier turned to crime to pay the bills. Faced
with bankruptcy in 1991, Beier hatched a plan to rob a string of
banks in a single day. But it was all too much, too fast. After
leading authorities from Guelph to Caledon on what was then the
longest police chase in Canadian history, Beier was gunned down
alongside a farmer's fence, his body pierced by a hail of police
bullets. But he survived, and the end of his crime spree marked a
new beginning. After spending almost a decade in various Ontario
prisons, searching for a way to get his life back on track, Beier
was finally paroled. He now lives a quiet life, dividing his time
between Canada and Austria.
'Yes, it was be there or be square as, clad in the slum chic of the
hipster, he issued the slang anthems of the zip age in the
desperate esperanto of the bop. John Cooper Clarke: the name behind
the hairstyle, the words walk in the grooves hacking through the
hi-fi paradise of true luxury.' Punk. Poet. Pioneer. The Bard of
Salford's seminal collection is as scabrous, wry & vivid now as
it was when first published over 25 years ago. 'The godfather of
British performance poetry' Daily Telegraph.

'A classic of historical fiction' HILARY MANTEL. 'By widespread
assent, one of the finest historical novels ever written. It may
even be the finest' TLS. Sir John Uvedale had business at Coverham
Abbey in Wensleydale, lately suppressed, so he sent his people on
before him to Marrick, to make ready for him, and to take over
possession of the Priory of St. Andrew from the Nuns, who should
all be gone by noon or thereabouts. In 1536, Henry VIII was almost
toppled when Northern England rose to oppose the Dissolution of the
Monasteries. An enthralling novel about a moment in history when
England's Catholic heritage was scattered to the four winds by a
powerful and arrogant king.
Eat and Be Satisfied is the first comprehensive and critical
history of Jewish food from biblical times until the present. John
Cooper explores the traditional foods the everyday diets as well as
the specialties for the Sabbath and festivals of both the
Ashkenazic and Sephardic cuisines. He discusses the often debated
question of what makes certain foods "Jewish" and details the
evolution of such traditional dishes as cholent and gefilte fish.
