Sinopse

In 1992, mechanic Peter Hauser and two friends bought three old cars and set off from southern Germany to cross the Sahara and drive to Togo, where they planned to sell their vehicles.
 
They never reached their destination. The young, free-wheeling adventurers were ambushed by Tuareg bandits on the Algeria-Mali border, kidnapped and disappeared into the vast nothingness of the desert.
 
Thirty years later, Peter Hauser lives in a tent between jungle and ocean on a remote archipelago in Southern Thailand. Every day, Peter heads out into the deep blue to swim with tiger sharks, apex predators and masters over life and death, to find out what fear means to all of us.

    SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY EDGAR WRIGHT 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 action-comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The story follows Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bassist in the indie rock band Sex Bob-Omb, who falls for Ramona Flowers, an enigmatic woman with a complicated past. To win her heart, Scott must face and defeat her seven evil exes in a series of surreal, video game-inspired battles. The film blends visual effects, comic book elements, and fast-paced action with themes of love, self-discovery, and personal growth, all wrapped in a quirky, energetic tone. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “At the first Battle of the Bands, Scott is seen wearing a "Plumtree" t-shirt. Plumtree, an all-girl indie rock band, released the song "Scott Pilgrim" on their 1998 album Predicts the Future. This song was the inspiration for Bryan Lee O'Malley to create the graphic novel's title character.” 
      
    “To avoid an R-Rating, the word "Fuck" said by Envy to Julie had to be bleeped out because Scott Pilgrim calls Todd Ingram a "cocky-cock" earlier in the film.” 
      
    “The star on Ramona's bag changes to match her hair color.” 
      
    “The stunt doubles for Lucas Lee are the actual stunt doubles for actor Chris Evans. However, only a quarter of the doubles resemble Evans.”

    An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home. 
    Brian Groom, author of the bestselling Northerners, reveals a colourful and often-contested story of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions. 
    Groom explores the role of religion and the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in this entertaining narrative. 
    With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, These Isles stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a Norfolk beach to the changing fortunes of the early 21st century. It offers a uniquely rich and kaleidoscopic vision of the shared stories of people across Britain and Ireland – past and present. 
    For fans of Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), Jo Woolf (The Great Horizon), Simon Jenkins (The Celts), and Andy Burnham (Head North).

    A creative and beautiful book packed with inspiring ideas to help you capture likenesses and explore personalities in stitch, from a well-loved textile artist.
    Anne Kelly's evocative and nostalgic work often incorporates portraits – of friends, family, historical figures and even pets.

The book covers:
    • Selfies at Home: making the perfect self-portrait in cloth.
    • Representation and Culture: how portraits have been used in textile art for cultural expression around the world.
    • Stylized Imagery: going beyond the traditional portrait into abstraction.
    • Place and Time: creating a sense of place with portraiture, sometimes incorporating photographs.
    • Narratives: how to create a fuller story using deeply personal ephemera and related imagery.
    • Pet Projects: immortalising your pets in your textile work.
    Beautifully illustrated with stunning examples of her own work and that of intriguing textile artists who specialise in portraiture from around the world, this is the ideal book for embroiderers and textile artists who want to introduce this often tricky subject area into their work.

    All dick is not the same! Some are long, and some are short. Some are skinny, some are girthy, some curve, and some have extra skin covering the head. I can repeatedly list countless differences we hear about through comedians, influencers, personalities, and radio and talk show hosts. You see women discussing it on various platforms, laughing to their heart’s content with their fellow sisters, and we, as men, accept this fact and what it means when it comes to our sex, but what about the reverse?  
    It seems no one talks about the different things that make up “good poon.” I mean, yes, there is the “smelly poon” remark that gets thrown around, and now and again, you’ll hear things about a “deep, loose poon” or a “roast beef poon,” but is that all it comes down to? Are you suddenly in the top 1% if you do not subscribe to those phrases?  
    I’m here to tell you no. Just like women, men too have talked about the size, the shape, the inside, and many more aspects that all go into what we consider to be “good poom poom,” and we’ve discussed it at length, behind closed doors, details of the feminine parts that never make its way to the town square. No man is loud enough, bold enough, or cares enough to sing the song of the thing that eats the thong, but I, Sherman T. Hancock, have sung!  
    So, I present to you the Opera of the Bell. Pull the feet of this book close to the edge of the bed, open its legs, lick your fingers and turn the pages, move that leaf to the side, and stick your face in it. I promise you will not stop reading until you have entirely uncovered the secrets hidden deep within this paprika in a bottle, pimento in a bowl, cum inside this capsicum, and discover the Bell Pepper.
