Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Merlin. He's Lucy's bright, beautiful son – who just happens to be autistic. Since Merlin's father left them in the lurch, Lucy has made Merlin the centre of her world. Struggling with the joys and tribulations of raising her adorable yet challenging child (if only Merlin came with operating instructions), Lucy doesn't have room for any other man in her life. By the time Merlin turns ten, Lucy is seriously worried that the Pope might start ringing her up for tips on celibacy, so resolves to dip a toe back into the world of dating. Thanks to Merlin's candour and quirkiness, things don't go quite to plan... Then, just when Lucy's resigned to singledom once more, Archie – the most imperfectly perfect man for her and her son – lands on her doorstep. But then, so does Merlin's father, begging for a second chance. Does Lucy need a real father for Merlin – or a real partner for herself? Praise for Kathy Lette: 'Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST 'Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.' NICOLE KIDMAN 'Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.' STEPHEN FRY

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of humour. What makes human beings laugh can be broadly defined under three headings: someone else's misfortune, someone else's misunderstanding or someone else's stupidity.

Neil Hutchison, creator of The Fool in Paradise, has collected thousands of jokes, then catalogued and listed them in this first volume of the Fool's Best Jokes.

Download or read book Drew s Views written by Drew McAdam and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drew McAdam's long-running column, which appears each week in the West Lothian Herald, Bo'ness Journal and Linlithgow Gazette has always drawn comment. Now the columns are available to a wider audience, who can appreciate his take on subjects such as Dippy Weather Forecasters, pointless surveys, roundabouts, scientists, airline companies - and a whole lot more. In this book, McAdam investigates such questions as: who wrote The Beano exploration of parallel universes. How can you get the BBC licensing authority to leave you alone. And The Secret of Life. This is a collection which distils the wit and questionable wisdom of a justly celebrated writer. "Traffic light sensors. Cyclists. Council Officials. They all come under the scrutiny of Drew McAdam in his weekly newspaper column. Now, in this collection of articles, he opens fire with both barrels. Stand clear, there's going to be bloodshed."

Download or read book Chapin s World written by J. G. Chapin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-08-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the use of humor has declined, the need for it has increased. Since medical studies confirmed that laughter boosted the body’s endorphins, natural painkillers, and reduced stress, the humor found in Chapin’s World could be a lifesaver. The ‘master of Personal disaster’ is back, with his reluctant family, and ‘less-than role model’ friends, to make you laugh out loud. In his latest attempt of Chapin’s World, fabrications ran the gamut of outlining his family orientation, to the author’s inept deer hunt with his cousin. Chapin also did a little tinkering in his tin shed, suffered more than normal light-headedness on Pike’s Peak, and, as usual, received an ill-advised consultation from his beatnik acquaintance, Guru Clyde. The reader is taken from babysitting mishaps with a grandchild, a struggle through the author’s military training, to the recollection of a knock-down-drag-out with his children’s pets. Be the first and, most likely, the only, one on your block to own Chapin’s World: Go Stand in the Corner.

Download or read book Life s a Hoot written by Gene Hunter and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From out of the past came the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!” booms the voice of the Merita bread announcer, as the coconut shells make the hoofbeat noise on a table in the background. Now if you remember that phrase, then you are old enough to really enjoy this book. We return to the times when a vivid imagination played a very important role in the enjoyment of life, and hopefu lly, we can take you back to some of the good times. I have endeavored to cover a lot of monumental incidents that happened over the years that affected me and, I hope, affected you as well. If you are a young person, you will learn a lot of history. If you are older, you will remember quite a bit of it. If a senior, well, more than likely, you’ll remember most of it. It’s called a lifetime, and though it seems like an eternity when you are young, it is but a fleeting moment on the scales of time. I have always maintained that if you are writing something, make it interesting enough for people not to have wasted their precious time reading. I sincerely hope that that is the case in this endeavor. As you read through this dissertation, I hope you will remind yourself that through all the stresses in daily living, life is still just a hoot. With kindest regards and a good read.

Or do you already have a farm but wish to become more sustainable to compete in today's market? Start Your Farm, the first comprehensive business guide of its kind, covers these essential questions and more: Why be a farmer in the 21st century? Do you have what it takes? What does sustainable really mean, and how can a small (as little as one acre) to midsize farm survive alongside commodity-scale agriculture? How do you access education, land, and other needs with limited capital? How can you reap an actual profit, including a return on land investment? How do you build connections with employees, colleagues, and customers? At the end of the day, how do you measure success? (Hint: Cash your lifestyle paycheck.) More than a practical guide, Start Your Farm is a hopeful call to action for anyone who aspires to grow wholesome, environmentally sustainable food for a living.
