Two Ruddy Ducks and a Partridge on a Par Three - The Unexpurgated Golf Letters of Mortimer Merriweather

Clive Agran

Beschreibung

Once described as the worst golfer never to have won a major, Mortimer Merriweather is a complex character with virtually nothing to show for 60 years of golf at the lowest level.
Decades of abject failure to strike the ball properly undoubtedly fuelled his frustration and led ultimately to him venting his ire on individuals, companies and organisations connected with the game of golf in this remarkable series of 100 letters.
The result is this hilarious book of his bizarre, insulting, unsettling and plain mad golfing ideas, all sent to famous hapless recipients, illustrated with occasional cartoons. 
'Clive Agran is golf's funniest writer.' – John Hopkins, The Times

Airstream Country - A Geologic...

Neil Mathison

A herd of bison standing in the snow. Layered bluffs of multicolored sandstone. A silver Airstream trailer on a mountain highway. These are familiar sights for Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan. Newly retired, their son in college, they embark upon a great American road trip "uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey." Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they move from Montana to Malibu and Seattle to Silverton, winding their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison's knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, "We learn by travel where we ought to travel more."

V For Vendetta - The Ultimate...

Film Trivia Metaverse

V FOR VENDETTA
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JAMES MCTEIGUE
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
V for Vendetta is a dystopian political thriller set in a future totalitarian Britain, where a fascist regime controls the population. The story follows V, a masked anarchist vigilante seeking revenge against those who tortured him. With the help of Evey, a young woman he rescues, V orchestrates a campaign of resistance against the government. The film explores themes of oppression, freedom, and the power of the individual against authoritarian control. It delves into the ethical dilemmas of revolution and the cost of freedom, blending action with philosophical reflections on political tyranny and personal identity.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“In Valerie's (Natasha Wightman’s) flashback, there is a brief scene when she talks about meeting her lover while filming her movie. The movie crew that appeared in this scene was composed nearly entirely of the crew members for this movie.”
“In the comic, illustrator David Lloyd often subtly changed V’s Guy Fawkes mask to suit the mood or tone of a particular scene. The filmmakers considered designing several subtly different masks but decided to alter the shadows and lighting in post-production instead.”
“The scenes in the abandoned London Underground station were filmed at Aldwych, a Piccadilly line station that closed in 1994. The branch still has tracks and electricity, meaning trains can still operate.”
