  The Ultimate Book of Shaggy Dog...

  The true definition of a shaggy dog story is as follows: a long, rambling story or joke, typically one that is amusing only because it is absurdly inconsequential or pointless. A ‘Shaggy dog’ story in its purest form is a long-winded tale which eventually arrives at a sometimes ridiculous and often ‘groan-inducing’ punchline. After much research and to the best of my knowledge, these stories have never been released in audiobook form or print. Having said that, the main reason for putting together this collection of stories and jokes is in the hope of encouraging parents, particularly fathers to become storytellers to their children, although obviously, anyone can listen. As a father of three, these stories hold fond memories for me during long car journeys and keeping my sons entertained. No matter how many times they’re repeated, kids love to hear them over and over again. Some of the stories might be considered incredibly ‘cringe worthy’ but the fact is, kids, love them and will love hearing you tell them. I guarantee they will pass these stories on to their children when they too become parents. Some of these tales might not be considered ‘politically correct these days, so use your judgement in their retelling. I have included some of the best ‘Quickfire Dad jokes’ between stories and a rude section of rhymes and limericks at the end of the book. These will hopefully bring back fond memories from your childhood and time in the playground as they do for me. Have fun and enjoy spending time with your children, they grow up so quickly. To quote Superman:  The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.

  Know How to Start a Garden Outdoor and Indoor  
  Look out your window - what do you see? Probably something like a barren wasteland of weed and dirt...or in other word, a scene that is anything but inspiring to behold.  
  However, take a look at your dear friendly neighbor's yard. What do you see now? Fertile rich green land sprouting with floral plants and vegetation as far as the eyes can see striking you with nothing less than an awe.  
  Now take a look back at your yard. Nothing. Don't fret, because just about anybody can bring new life to their land through gardening. After all, that's the real reason why you're here is because you're looking to get into gardening, without even knowing anything about it, right?  
  Having a garden offers many rewarding benefits, from having a beautiful cultivated space to look at, fresh air to breathe, and free foods to sustain yourself on your own, as well as even medicinal supplies in your very own backyard through growing your own herbs.  
  Then why don't more people venture into gardening? Because they think it takes a lot of work, they need to have a huge space, not to mention if they don't' even have a yard, or they simply don't know how to start a garden.  
  Gardening Express will take care all of that for you. You can start an outdoor garden today regardless if you have a huge space or not, or an indoor garden if you don't have a yard at all.  
  By taking the Gardening Express, your destination includes: How to set your garden in motion through the simple planning phase How to research and sketch your ideal garden with all the different tools How to lay the groundwork with sectioning the land and placing the composites How to determine what you should plant

  'Some part of me believed I would become a more complete person if I spoke Irish, more in tune with my roots, my identity, my very being.'
  'A hugely enjoyable linguistic travelogue that is also a sort of love story: full of passion, lightness, but, also, commitment. McCaughan's engaging prose is a joy to read. Discover the Sex Pistols' connection with Cúil Aodha and many another startling fact about the Irish language. This journey towards a homecoming will touch many hearts.' Joseph O'Connor
  This is the story of Michael McCaughan's journey around Ireland and the Irish language. From a surreal start involving dedicated listening to Raidió na Gaeltachta's death notices, to rediscovering the soul of the language through immersing himself in Phil Lynott's music – all without becoming a Gaelbore – Coming Home will make you want to follow in his footsteps and strike out in search of the grá.
