Download or read book The Final Heist written by William Pullar and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four old men had spent most of their adult life in prison following many failed attempts to rob financial institutions. Now aged late 70s and early 80s, they are released from a long jail term to take up residence in a warden-controlled, local-authority owned block of self-contained apartments. Other residents are a strange mixture. The local diminutive vicar relaunches the campanology group. The bell-ringing group of gays drives the bats from the belfry, along with other animals. The four decide that life in Bogwash is not to their liking and plan the last heist, just to get convicted and return to a world they understand. Dressed as four gorillas, wearing flashy Bermuda shorts and high-visibility jackets, they plan on robbing a small post office.
Download or read book Awa An Bile Yer Heid written by Ross David and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Ross has produced an extraordinary, eclectic and hilarious collection of thematically arranged Scottish insults, abuse and invective which has been wonderfully illustrated throughout by Rupert Besley. The best insults, according to the author, occupy an indefinite space between wit and abuse, containing elements of both to varying degree; they must always sting the victim, or else they are a failure. This book is full of rich and expressive examples of insult and invective for all occasions from all over Scotland. These have been passed down through the centuries or have emerged in modern times, proving that clever insults are infinitely more amusing and memorable than good jokes. And so, happy reading. If you don't like it, awa' an' bile yer heid!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One year after the death of the fourth member of the infamous Gang of Four, the remaining trio of aged bank robbers is struggling to adapt to life outside prison walls. Having served their last stint in jail following a botched robbery of a closed-down post office, during which they donned gorilla costumes, hi-viz jackets, and colourful Bermuda shorts, the gang now faces a two-year suspended sentence and the challenge of honouring their fallen comrade’s dying wish to stay on the straight and narrow. As they navigate the idiosyncrasies of their fellow residents at the residential home, the trio, now known as The Trio, must also contend with the suspicions of a relentless detective who believes their deceased friend is alive and well, secretly orchestrating a string of heists across the Home Counties. With the detective convinced that the coffin is filled with bricks and stolen loot, The Trio must prove their innocence while adhering to the terms of their friend’s generous will. Amidst the chaos, the Colonel works on his memoir, ‘Confession of a Bank Robber’, and delivers after-dinner speeches to the legal profession. Jock finds himself as the kilted bagpiper for the Tartanettes, a troupe of middle-aged Burlesquers, while Lenny attempts to improve his social skills. As the three vow to honor their late friend’s wishes, a series of copycat heists and odd mysteries come to light, threatening to unravel their newfound freedom and redemption.
Download or read book 4 a m written by Nina De la Mer and published by Myriad Editions (US&CA). This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4 a.m. is an iconic novel of friendship and betrayal, hedonism, and military discipline. The year is 1993 and Cal and Manny are soldiers posted to Germany as army chefs. Bored and institutionalized, the pair soon succumb to the temptations of recreational drugs and all-night raves in Hamburg's red-light district. Life-affirming clubbing soon gives way to gloomy, drug-fueled nights in fast-food restaurants, at sex shows, and in Turkish dive bars. As a succession of events ratchets up the pressure on Cal and Manny, their friendship is tested, a secret is revealed, and a shocking betrayal changes their lives forever. Drawing on personal experience and extensive research, 4 a.m. depicts life in a peacetime Army, and a civilian milieu in which conflict is never far away. Driven by two distinctive voices, and written in a lively and buzzing style, Nina de la Mer's debut novel holds a mirror up to youth culture at the end of the 20th century. The reflection is not always a flattering one.

We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology.

Download or read book The Face of Battle written by John Keegan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1983-01-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Keegan's groundbreaking portrayal of the common soldier in the heat of battle -- a masterpiece that explores the physical and mental aspects of warfare The Face of Battle is military history from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at the "point of maximum danger." Without the myth-making elements of rhetoric and xenophobia, and breaking away from the stylized format of battle descriptions, John Keegan has written what is probably the definitive model for military historians. And in his scrupulous reassessment of three battles representative of three different time periods, he manages to convey what the experience of combat meant for the participants, whether they were facing the arrow cloud at the battle of Agincourt, the musket balls at Waterloo, or the steel rain of the Somme. The Face of Battle is a companion volume to John Keegan's classic study of the individual soldier, The Mask of Command: together they form a masterpiece of military and human history.
