    'If the Waverley sank right now and I wanted to swim to the nearest land, how far would that be?' 'About a hundred yards, sur.' 'Amazing. Which way?' 'Down!'

True 'Glesca' humour and history combined, Kerryoans up the Clyde! recounts the adventures of a vessel full of character with a captain to match: Morrison's Waverley and 'Big Lizzie' are each as formidable and inalienably Scottish as the other.

Morrison captures the charmingly unique spirit of the last of the Clyde's paddle steamers as well as the facts of its history. Full of playful tales, many a chuckle and the quirky illustrations of Bob Dewar, you're sure to find something that floats your boat!

    “A great journalist, passionate about food” (Gordon Ramsay).   Michael Bateman was the father of modern food journalism. He began writing about food in England during the 1960s, when the average British culinary experience was limited to fish and chips. At the time, it was a subject national newspapers scarcely bothered with.   Among other accomplishments, he was the first journalist to write detailed exposés on issues such as food additives. His wit, humor, erudition, and passion for his subject poured off the pages week after week as he researched his articles, often disappearing for days if not weeks to cover every possible angle and talk to every expert. Eventually he became a prominent editor—and nurtured food writers of the next generation, such as Sophie Grigson and Oz Clarke.   This collection includes some of his best work, spanning several decades—on topics as wide-ranging as Australian cuisine; veganism; food marketing; French wine; and Coca-Cola.

    Do Not Adjust Your Set is a 60s comedy show comprised mostly of satirical sketches, often presented in a bizarre, surreal and disjointed manner- much like that of Monty Python, a succeeding show which several of the cast became part of. 
An important Monty Python predecessor and arguably one of the finest children's sketch comedies ever produced, DNAYS is certainly something you do not want to miss... 
This volume features a compilation of classic sketches from the show, including: 
-Instrumental-The Problems of Falling Over-The Wild and Woolly West-Weather-Hamster Allergies-Post Early for Christmas-Its Lucy!-You're Fired!-Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band-Announcement-Tubas in Moonlight-Fancy Dress for Two-Dog Food-Captain Fantastic-Musicians at Work

    Frederick is freed of his indentures to the ferociously temperate Pirates of Penzance. What will he do with his newfound freedom?  
This audiobook is based on the libretto from W. S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. It includes all the original material in the libretto, adapted to make the tale a narrative, rather than an operetta.  
It’s a rare opportunity to celebrate the sharp wit of Gilbert’s writing, as it is brought to the fore.
