  Ageing Rock God, Jim Sullivan, is heading for the quiet life on his newly acquired, tiny island, off the coast of Cornwall. That is until he sends a letter to the King of England, announcing his intent to declare independence from the UK and appointing himself king. 
   
  Determined not to cede one inch of British territory, the UK government despatches low-level Foreign Office researcher, John Cabot, to put a stop to Sullivan’s ambitions. 
   
  What they didn’t anticipate was Cabot’s tenacity for unearthing information they’d rather he didn’t, or Sullivan’s relentless, but completely unfounded, optimism in his own ideas. 
   
  Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a spreadsheet, can these two stand up to the might of the British Empire? 
   
  No contest.

  Johnny's Ridealong

  It is a fact that the average male bladder can hold approximately a pint of liquid. This quantity is somewhat greater in an Irishman. The bladder of a healthy Irishman can generally hold at least 750ml or nearly one and a half pints. However, there are exceptions to every rule and every so often a male with a much larger capacity than normal appears and with a bit of training and determination his bladder can, in fact, accomodate an amount significantly greater than the average. In the case of Johnny Two Kebabs it is well known that before having to relieve himself he has, on occasion, imbided up to four pints of lager. In this fifth instalment of Johnny's memoirs he relates how his "enhanced bladder capacity" helped prevent a terrorist attack by the Cornish separatist group the C.N.L.O.

  he Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally insightful, and occasionally soul-crushing guide to philosophy’s original sadboy, Søren Kierkegaard. 
  Tired of reading philosophy that feels like intellectual sandpaper? This book unpacks Kierkegaard’s anxiety-fueled, despair-drenched theology with the humor and honesty it desperately needs. From aesthetic dead-ends to existential panic, from absurd leaps of faith to spiritual ghosting, this irreverent (but accurate!) guide doesn’t just explain Kierkegaard—it translates him for the modern reader who’s spiritually curious and emotionally exhausted. 
  Perfect for readers who love philosophy but hate philosophers, theology with a side of dark humor, and the occasional mental breakdown in pursuit of authenticity. 
  What you’ll get inside: 
  Pseudonyms, despair, and that one time Abraham almost committed murder in the name of faith 
  The aesthetic life: fun until it isn’t 
  Why being a good person might still mean you’re completely lost 
  Faith, absurdity, and how to jump into the void without looking down 
  Kierkegaard’s existential glow-up in modern philosophy (yes, Sartre, we see you) 
  A roadmap for reading his actual books without losing your will to live 
  And a final call to wake up and stop living someone else’s life 
  No prior philosophy degree required—just a sense of humor, a tolerance for paradox, and maybe a journal for emotional damage control.

  Shifting Accommodation  is a short humorous story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theatrical personage Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940).
  From the Diary of an ingenious comrade Polosukhin:
  November 21.
  Well, Moscow… What a city… Oh, I will tell 
  you now. There are no available apartments here. 
  Absolutely no vacant flats! I even had to send a 
  telegram to my wife and tell her to stay home and wait 
  for a while. I slept three nights in the bathtub at 
  Karabuev's apartment. Well, what can I say, not that 
  bad as it may seem, pretty comfortable, I would say, 
  just water dripping from time to time. Then I slept two 
  nights on a gas stove at Shchuevsky's apartment. In 
  Yelabuga, my hometown, people say that this stove is a 
  very convenient thing. Hell no, I say! Some screws are 
  sticking in here and there, and the cookmaid is 
  grumbling, obviously not happy about my sleeping 
  there...
  December 23.
  I'm done, I'm going back to Yelabuga…
