Nowt so daft...
'Nowt so daft as folk' is an age old expression. It means 'people say and do the silliest things.' Kieran Meehan's cartoons illustrate that pithy observation with humour and insight. Meehan's single panel cartoons have been nominated three times at the National Cartoonists Society Awards. His daily comic strip 'Pros & Cons' is distributed worldwide through King Features Syndicate.
Pink Lemonade
Aberdeen is that type of girl who can fall into a mouse trap and get stuck there even though she isn't a mouse. So when she falls in love with some guy named Sterling in detention, she doesn't pass up the chance when he asks her to come over during the weekend to try some pink lemonade. But due to it being so horribly bad, it breaks the space and time continuum causing Aberdeen to pass out and travel trough time and realms. So, will she make it home? DUN DUN DUN! That was cheesy, I know.
Thoughts on the Pot
When you've spent a lifetime narrating television shows, doing voice work on commercials, and navigating the music business, you hear some jokes.Pat Duke, the beloved narrator of the smash hit Swamp People on The History Channel, shares a hysterical and thought-provoking collection of punchlines, one-line zingers, observations, and advice on a variety of topics.Nothing is off limits: You'll enjoy laugh-out-loud moments about work, retirement, marriage, divorce, drinking, drugs, religion, obesity, vegans, kids, parents, life, death, sleep, farts, and poop. Mostly these are jokes, but the author sprinkles in sage advice as well as stories about the flat-out weird.The book includes three "groaners," six Golden Oldies, and a tendency to channel Rodney Dangerfield. The author doesn't know where that comes from. Is it politically correct? No. Is it misogynistic. No. (Well, maybe a little.) Honestly, the author loves women. And women? Why are you reading this? Stop.Everyone else, pull up a throne, sit for a while, and laugh your butt off with Thoughts on the Pot.

Masked Romance
When the world went into quarantine in the spring of 2020 everyone's lives were upended. That included the newest member of Beige University's gardening team, George Gopher. Although he possessed an underground residence, trouble still found him in the form of a desperate young female pursued by predators. In non-pandemic news, R.L. was returned to prison. Lindesfarne (and a certain long-running webcomic) both turned twenty-five years old, and Carl and Leona got their wedding in just days before the lockdown. The pair had an eventful honeymoon which turned out to be even more perilous than a virus. That was followed by Leona's pregnancy as life and death took turns at center stage. Also, Carl was drafted by the Tidewater Pitchforks, the worst team in the National Gardening League. Fiona moved in with the Dewclaws, and Kell transferred her business operations outdoors. Stay safe, everybody!

Promo !!
In the current climate of behind the scenes comedy sitcoms like Extras, Moving wallpaper, The Office and Airline etc. this book focuses on the world of promotions. The book is centred on and around one freelance event manager who works for various promotional and marketing companies. Most of the activities are centred on one particular staffing company called The Agency. The promotional and events industry is a very diverse and fickle business and most of the personnel that work in the industry have a very strong character base in order to survive its ever-changing demands. Most are self employed, out of work (resting) actors, dancers, singers or students making some extra cash. But ultimately they are a breed to themselves enticed by the perceived rock n roll lifestyle and financial rewards.
The Turkish Jester
Hodja Nasreddin Efendi may or may not haved lived in fourteenth century Anatolia. "Hodja" means "teacher", and the man himself was probably an imam or a Sufi priest. If he was not a real person, it has been necessary to invent him, and his wit, charm and drollery are known throughout the Islamic world and further afield. George Borrow's translation selects the best Hodja tales from the hundreds which exist and are still told in tea-houses, bus-stations, schools and homes today.

Dragonfly Days
Set in 1944, this is the story of how children coped with the rigours of wartime. It is not a war story; it is a Home Front story. We join them in their experiences, follow them in their adventures, and watch them as they handle the incidents in which they become involved. The main characters are four lads, aged eleven and twelve years of age, living in the town were I was born and grew up, Bolton, Lancashire. They associate with numerous other children of various ages. We find them in the streets, in school and in Sunday School. We follow them on a day trip to Blackpool, an experience which is unique to most the poor children of the district. Their parents range from the kind and gentle and understanding, to cruel and violent. It is a humorous tale, for the most part, that readers of all ages can, and will, enjoy.

A Stupid Boys Diary
It's a good bet you don't know me. But who wouldn't want to read somebody else's diary? At the time of starting this project, my first thoughts (If I'm honest) were only real losers keep diaries. But the more I thought about it, the more appealing and cooler it sounded. I - Jason James Johnson.....The Diary Keeper! It sounded mysterious, it sounded exotic (almost). Maybe I would gain some form of super-power, and wherever I walk in the future diaries will fling towards me. The secrets I would find out would be amazing! So here it is - My diary as such; or more of a record of crazy events that happened over the course of a year. Enjoy.
Platypus Milk
In these essays on seemingly diverse topics, from the ways certain places call us to what life is like on a farm in Canada to teaching English in Boston, Jessica Harman captures the humor and paradoxical nature of human experience. Often talking about her family that contains both American and Canadian components, she takes a funny look at the practical and whimsical sides of both cultures while comparing them.

It Shouldn't Happen To A Security Officer
This book offers in colourful detail the life of a security officer whilst working at an undisclosed airport in the UK.

In doing so, it high-lights just how much airport staff have to put up with. It has much in the way of colourful language within and should not be considered suitable for minors.
