'The perfect antidote to 2020' Huffington Post 'A must-read if you
like funny things' Greg James 'I had no idea Pat Sharp's life story
would be so hilarious and I strongly suspect neither did he' Nish
Kumar Pat Sharp is a man out of time. For those of a certain
generation, he is an iconic figure synonymous with good fun, great
hair and excess gunge. For others, he's just that bloke with a
mullet. Fame is a fickle beast and, since the cancellation of Fun
House in 1999 ('Just ten years into its run, when it was finally
finding its feet'), Pat has become a reclusive figure, only
emerging from his splendid isolation to pop up on things like I'm A
Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Come
Dine with Me. Until now. With time on his hands and now reliant on
a faulty memory, Pat has expertly blended fact and . . . fiction:
revealing all about his adventures with David Hassselhoff at the
Berlin Wall in 1989; how he broke up a fight between Damon Albarn
and Liam Gallagher at a house party; the time he suggested Geri's
dress be a Union Jack; and much more. A definitive work (based on
very little fact) that anatomises the cultural trends of the '80s
and '90s, Re-run the Fun is just the kind of sorta-biography we
need in these turbulent times. Finally, the Great British public
can learn what life is like just about in sight of the top - the
highs, the lows and the hair tips. 'It's easy to forget, as I had,
that Pat Sharp is so much more than an iconic haircut and a
helter-skelter - and this well overdue book goes into hilarious,
largely-fabricated detail about Pat's critical role in shaping our
world today' Rick Edwards 'No previous knowledge of Pat Sharp is
required' Paul Sinha

The loss of a husband who is the center of your life and your best
friend is devastating. The author's journey after the loss of not
just one, but two husbands after long marriages is chronicled in a
personal, heart-warming narrative. The discovery of being able to
have peace and even joy while grieving for her second husband is in
startling contrast to the emotional wreckage after losing her first
husband. The difference is due in part by gaining a real
relationship with God, one she thought she had when her first
husband died. Find out how simply you too can change. Find this
amazing peace when you are willing to open your heart to God's love
and promises.
