    When Johnny's underpants are stolen, such is his outrage that he takes a solemn vow: Until the day he tracks down the underpants thief and brings him to justice, he will 'go commando.' 
    Deprived of his jocks and driven by a relentless desire for justice, he investigates not only the theft of his undergarment but also the circumstances surrounding a trail of bodies left in south London by the 'underpants killer.' 
    Could the underpants thief and the underpants killer be the same person? Is the serial killer a 'trophy hunter'? With no jocks on, will Johnny get a chill in his kidneys? These are the questions Johnny must answer as he 'rides bareback' in his quest to find the culprit.

    As children we can’t help but dream of all of the amazing things that we will accomplish. 
    Then life happens. 
    We get a job, we get a house, and we get into debt. We settle. 
    We trade away our youth, for security in old age. We spend countless hours performing mundane tasks that leave us depleted and empty. Our souls crave meaning, but we are too afraid to make any change. 
    We work for the weekend. Work for the holidays. Work for retirement. 
    We live to work, rather than working to live. 
    Through sardonic humour, Wage Slave highlights the absurdity of the modern approach to work and life.

    There are moments in life when one finds oneself unexpectedly surrounded. Young Bingo would describe it as fate. Others might use stronger language.
    In Clustering Round Young Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse gathers the usual elements of civilized disaster: romantic enthusiasm, social overreaction, and the looming shadow of Aunt Dahlia's magazine enterprise.
    Bingo, whose emotional decisions tend to arrive faster than his reasoning, becomes the centre of an intricate social arrangement involving a highly questionable article and a domestic crisis that even the finest French chef cannot resolve.
    What emerges is a finely balanced mechanism: affection expressed as confusion, and dignity maintained only through collective effort and selective amnesia. Elegant, chaotic, and impeccably pointless in the most entertaining way.
