Going Off Alarming - Danny Baker - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Going Off Alarming - Danny Baker - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The dazzlingly funny second volume of Danny Baker''s memoirs: the television years. Since my first book was published I have had countless friends and family members get in touch to say how come I hadn''t included this story or that tale. Was I ashamed of being shot twice, once up the arse, in Jamaica Road? How long should a man live with such a secret? If by retrospectively dropping my trousers every few pages I can reveal a fuller picture of myself during these years, then so be it.Besides. Being shot up the arse. In front of your mates.What else did I forget?

Preferred Lies - Andrew Greig - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Preferred Lies - Andrew Greig - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A book about golf that will appeal to both players and non players, by Scottish poet and novelist. Surely golf is a game for posh people, country clubs and networking businessmen, for unfortunate sweaters, politics and trousers? Andrew Greig grew up on the East coast of Scotland, where playing golf is as natural as breathing. He sees the game as the great leveller, and has played on the Old course at St Andrews as well as on the miners'' courses of Yorkshire. He writes about the different cultural manifestations of the game, the history, the geography, the different social meanings, as well as the subjective experience, the reflections between shots. He plays alone, with friends and brothers, with ghosts. He is looking for the essence of golf, the pure heart of it, which can be found, Andrew Greig believes, on the free 9 hole course on North Ronaldsay.

The Channel - Charlie Connelly - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Channel - Charlie Connelly - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''A wonderfully quirky history'' SUNDAY TIMES ''The perfect read while you wait for your summer holiday to begin'' MAIL ON SUNDAY ''Quippy anecdotes are woven with historical reference and geographical context to give full colour'' IRISH TIMES A bulwark against invasion, a conduit for exchange and a challenge to be conquered, the English Channel - 21 miles wide at its narrowest point - represents much more than a conductor of goods and people. Criss-crossing the Channel, Charlie Connelly collects its stories and brings them vividly to life, from tailing Oscar Wilde''s shadow through the dark streets of Dieppe to unearthing Britain''s first beauty pageant at the end of Folkestone pier. We learn that Louis Bleriot was actually a terrible pilot, the tragic fate of the first successful Channel swimmer, and that if a man with a buttered head and pigs'' bladders attached to his trousers hadn''t fought off an attack by dogfish we might never have had a Channel Tunnel.Charlie Connelly uncovers remarkable tales of swimmers and flyers, pirates and soldiers, heroes and villains, pioneers and refugees. Their stories are all united by the English Channel to ensure the sea that makes us an island will never be the same again.
