Dial 999! - Les Pringle - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This is a re-issue of Blue Nights and Long Nights ISBN 9780552158527.Card-playing corpses, unfaithful husbands and ''flying'' ladies - life as an ambulance driver in the 1970s was certainly varied ...At the age of twenty-three, Les Pringle decided to escape from office life, broaden his horizons and become an ambulance driver. Little did he realize how broad those horizons would turn out to be.Filled with warmth and humour, Dial 999! takes us back to a time when lonely old ladies could call 999 and have a cup of tea waiting when the drivers turned up for a chat; when learning to drive the ambulance meant going out for one test drive and managing not to hit a pedestrian; and every day brought a glimpse into other people''s lives.Gripping, poignant and darkly funny, Dial 999! is an affectionate, warm-hearted look at a world gone by.

Heroes, Hairbands and Hissy Fits - Mark Chapman - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Heroes, Hairbands and Hissy Fits - Mark Chapman - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Alice bands, orange bladed boots and socks worn over the knee. Mansions in Cheshire, WAGs and written-off Ferraris. Referees with headsets, fourth officials, and an incomprehensible amount of stoppage time. There is only so much a true football fan can take, and in Heroes, Hairbands and Hissy Fits , Mark Chapman (aka Chappers) gives full vent to his feelings, as only the host of a football phone-in can. Football phone-ins are on the hitlist too, by the way. It is football as we know it, told from the heart.With his trademark down-to-earth wit, he takes aim at everyone from Sepp Blatter to MOTD, kit designers and replica shirt wearers (don''t put your age on the back of the shirt, lads), trophy presentations and tournament draws. From his first footballing memory to watching his son grow up idolising Premier League millionaires, Chappers'' book is a timely tirade as well as a love song to the beautiful game.

The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived - Robert Rankin - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Norman''s definitely dead. His dad fell out of the sky and flattened him. And as Norman didn''t want any regular full-time employment before he died, he certainly doesn''t want any now. Especially not here at The Universal Reincarnation Company. There''s far too many filing cabinets and far too much paperwork. Not that it''s the company''s fault. The blame really lies with God. If He hadn''t decided to close down Hell, then Heaven wouldn''t have got too overcrowded and there would have been no need to build the extension. And until the extension is finished, the U.R.C. will just have to keep on recycling all those souls in the big queue.If your taste is for a tender romance, taut with passion and desire, love and betrayal, then this raging stonker of a novel, bursting out of its leather pants with sex, scandal, murder, mystery, suspense, drama, action, adventure and Mad Car Disease, probably won''t be for you. Sorry.

Abolish the Monarchy - Graham Smith - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Abolish the Monarchy - Graham Smith - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''A crucial, riveting polemic in support of one of the most precious things humanity has built - democracy itself'' OWEN JONES''Graham Smith shows what fools our rotten constitution makes of us, with a monarch as emblem of a country beset by nepotism, backhanders, chumocracy and inherited privilege. Read and rebel!'' POLLY TOYNBEE We''re constantly told the same things about the monarchy: But the monarchy is good for tourism.. It isn''t! Evidence points to some royal weddings actually having a negative impact on inbound tourism. But the monarchy makes a big difference to charity.. Of the approx. 1,200 charities with a royal patron, 74% had no contact with their patron during the preceding year. But everyone loves the monarchy.. A January 2023 poll showed support for the monarchy is down 55 percent. It''s wrong in principle and it doesn''t work in practice. It doesn''t have to be this way. They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, to be a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there''s an elephant in the room.At the heart of power is a single family. They weren''t elected but they live off the public purse. They aren''t accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Divinely appointed using a special hat, the head of the family is your superior, you his subject. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution - but we''re also told he wouldn''t dream of interfering in politics.If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws. But the good news is that we don''t have to accept it. True democracy is within our reach.

Mary Portas ''I recommend Viv Groskop''s How to Own the Room to anyone wanting more self-confidence.'' Philippa Perry __________ Most books about public speaking don''t tell you what to do when you open your mouth and nothing comes out. And they don''t tell you how to get over the anxiety about performance that most people naturally have. They don''t tell you what to do in the moments when you are made, as a woman, to feel small. They don''t tell you how to own the room. This book does.From the way Michelle Obama projects ''happy high status'', to Virginia Woolf''s leisurely pacing and Oprah Winfrey''s mastery of inner conviction, what is it that our heroines do to make us sit up and listen - really listen - to their every word? And how can you achieve that impact in your own life? Here''s how.__________ ***** ''Easy to grasp practical tips... all served up with lightness and generosity.'' ***** ''It has made me realize I don''t even need to be good, but I can be brave.'' ***** ''Brilliant, engaging, honest, vulnerable, often damn funny.''

Sheepwrecked - Jackie Moffat - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This journey through the changing seasons at Rowfoot Farm - tupping time in the autumn, winters as wet, bleak and cold here in Cumbria as elsewhere, lambing and the glories of spring, a bucolic, bee-filled Eden Valley summer with its many shows and fairs - will reveal much that you need to know about the countryside, its quirky customs and ways, and most likely a great deal that you don''t. They no longer burn witches (not because they''re lily-livered, it''s just that getting the necessary timber from sustainable forests is a real chore). You''ll find nothing here about welly-wanging either. Jackie doesn''t wang her wellies, she just gets them muddy. You won''t need to, of course, as this book will ensure you experience rural life vicariously and very cleanly.Along the way, Jackie bumps into friends old and new, peeps back over her shoulder every now and then to recall times past, oh and it wouldn''t be her if she didn''t have the occasional impassioned rant or take the odd pop at the establishment, but rest assured she''s quite gentle with them. So join Jackie (and Katie the Lurcher, Blossom the Cob and Rowfoot''s many other residents, four- and two-legged) as she recounts the occasional pitfall and many pleasures of running a small farm in one of the most beautiful parts of England.
