How many people will be chosen as volunteers for the 2012 Olympic Games in London? To play a part in the Olympic Games is a wonderful experience - probably a once in a lifetime opportunity - and a rare privilege. No matter what role they play, the support of thousands of volunteers is absolutely vital to the success of any Olympiad. I was one of the few British volunteers at the Atlanta Centenary Olympic Games. It was the most exciting and rewarding three weeks of my life. I saw Olympic finals, witnessed medal ceremonies, talked to champion athletes both contemporary and past, and worked like a Trojan for long hours as part of the stadium staff. This is my story about the small part I played in 'The Greatest Show on Earth'.
Do you love steak, burgers, and brisket? Are you tired of the same old
recipes? Do you want to take your cooking to the next level? Roasting,
frying, broiling, poaching, stewing--all the different ways to cook
beef are here in The Book of Steak, a carnivores-only recipe book.
You'll learn where the different cuts come from, and read a guide to
buying the best beef. Then comes the fun part: cooking it! From
Slow-Cooked Brisket with a Spicy Dry Rub to Beef Carpaccio, from
Sirloin Steak in a Lime and Tequila Marinade to Tri-Tip Steak in an
Asian-Spiced Marinade, there's something for everyone. Impress your
friends and family with your culinary abilities, and enjoy some really
good steak.
In an age of cybercrime, Finn is old school: he's never stolen anything weighing less than five tons. Now, fresh out of prison and flat broke, he's got a line on his biggest job ever. Cracking the most heavily guarded private vault in North America? No problem. Hauling $50 million of precious metal out past guards, dozens of policemen and an armored SWAT battalion? Even easier. But navigating the betrayals of double-crossing partners, the machinations of a hedge-fund billionaire gone bad, and the ambiguous proposals of a woman with her own agenda? Finn is going to have to figure out the downside.
In his early thirties and working in a menial position at a High Street bank, John Bore is massively overweight and plagued by prostatitis. Haunted by the nickname 'Boring John' since school, his mundane existence comes to a head on one 'Particularly Shit Day' when he loses his job, is evicted from his home and is told by his stepmother, from her death bed, that his father had always been ashamed of him and indeed coined the aforementioned nickname. Angry, frustrated and desperate John retrieves from his meagre, evicted belongings a list he had written at the age of ten, a list of things he wanted to achieve in his life. There and then John sets out to achieve these goals, those of an imaginative, yet naive, ten-year-old boy. 'Boring John' is the ultimate underdog. Against all odds and with a great deal of determination, a heap of luck and the support of a plethora of interesting and surreal characters that he meets along the way, he achieves the impossible, again and again and again. 'Boring John' is a thrilling, surprising and spookily believable rollercoaster that will appeal to all.
