Hungover Cookbook
If you’ve woken up on a Sunday morning and felt somewhat worse for wear, the normal instinct is to gulp down a glass of water (or several), reach for the headache tablets and go for a full English! Yes, it's the dreaded Hangover – a drilling headache, waves of nausea, paranoia, guilt, and the shame. We have all been there. The Hungover Cookbook, is a self-help manual that helps the morning after drinker to identify the nature of his/her hangover and tailor the treatment accordingly. With delicious and restorative recipes - from Milton's zingy knickerbocker glory to his irresistible tahini and tomato toast, the English Breakfast tortilla to Mexican ranch-style eggs - The Hungover Cookbook invites you to transform dealing with a hangover into a subtle, multi-faceted and enjoyable art instead of merely chucking a 'full English' at it! Makes the ideal festive season gift for the family member or friend to who has a penchant for a drink or too!

Sod Calm And Get Angry
We all have days when the irritations of life get the better of us, hence the need to let it all out. Sod Calm and Get Angry celebrates those times when getting annoyed is the only way to react. During the current recession it seems our traditional stiff upper lip can only last so long before those other world-beating British skills come to the fore - quiet grumbling and resigned cynicism. Sod Calm and Get Angry is for anyone who has finally had enough of bankers and politicians and bosses telling them to keep sodding calm and to carry bloody on. Sod Calm and Get Angry is both a rallying call and essential tome of comforting wisdom for the depressed, enraged, disgruntled, disenfranchised and those of a naturally curmudgeonly disposition. On Politics The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites' - Larry Hardiman On Work One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important - Bertrand Russell On Money The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any - Katherine Whitehorn On Hypocrisy Hypocrite: the man who murdered both his parents… pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan - Abraham Lincoln On War You can't say civilisation don't advance… for in every war they kill you a new way - Will Rogers On LifeThat's the secret to life… replace one worry with another - Charles M Schulz Makes a great grown-up Christmas stocking filler or secret Santa gift for a work colleauge

Crap Lyrics
Here’s the perfect gift book for pop music fans, rockers and anyone else who has wondered what the lyrics of some famous songs are all about. There has been some fantastic songs written and composed over the last 50 years, however with the great and good often comes the pathetic and downright ridiculous. So for all those who enjoys poking fun at a load of tosh, then this celebration of the very worst pop lyrics of all time ever, is ideal. 'Why do I find it hard to write the next line?' Spandau Ballet once asked. Even the greatest songwriters (and Spandau Ballet) have had the odd bad day at the office. Or more likely, a bad few minutes in the studio toilets scribbling the first words they can think of on the back of their tranquiliser prescription shortly before the vocal has to be recorded. Johnny Sharp has trawled half a century of lyrics to find the funniest examples of crippled couplets, outrageous innuendo, mixed metaphors, shameless self-delusion, nefarious nonsense and flagrant filth. Not to mention unforgivable over-use of alliteration. Crap Lyrics is a humorous celebration (and occasionally, condemnation) of over 120 of the most ridiculous hooks, lines and stinkers from pop poetry through the modern ages. Johnny Sharp has spent 15 years as a music journalist, and several of those years writing for NME under the name Johnny Cigarettes, so he knows that ridicule is nothing to be scared of. He's serious as cancer when he asks: Are we human, or are we dancer? And where do we go from here? Is it down to the lake, I fear? While moving like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis? Whether you're a diplomat, or even down the Laundromat, if you have ever heard a song and thought 'You what?', this is the book for you.

Air Swimmers Remote Control Shark
As adevertised on TV. Is a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a flying fish – literally! Ok we know that flying fish (latin: volatilis piscis) do exist, however this newly found species of Air Swimmers have been found living amongst humans in habitats all over such as living rooms, kids’ bedrooms, halls, workplaces and even areas where parties are held! The Air Swimmers remote control operated Shark swims through the air with an incredibly smooth and life-like motion. Easy to control, this flying fish provides hours of fun as you test your skills flying up stairs and through doorways! The remote control moves the fish up and down in the air by moving the ‘feeder fish’ forward (fish goes down) and backwards (so the fish flies higher). The Shark's tail will flap from side to side just like the real thing and the controller will be able to manoeuvre it in a 360 degree turn. The fish needs to be filled with helium before it will fly, which sadly is not included, however don’t fret as helium is available at most florists and all retail stores that sell helium party balloons. You can either take the fish and get it filled up locally, or buy a helium canister to fill up the fish to use again and again. Unlike helium balloons bought at the fairground or card shop, it won’t deflate overnight as the body is made from a high quality, durable nylon material that will stay inflated for weeks, although we would advise you top him up regularly if you want to keep him inflated. Measuring approximately 145cm x 91cm you’ll have no trouble finding this Shark, as it won't sneak up behind you like the fearsome Jaws Requires 4 x AAA batteries (not included), one for the Shark and three for the controller. Air Swimmers were recently voted the ‘Best Overall Toy’ at this year’s Toy of the Year Awards, and we believe this is one of the coolest remote control toys around and will provide hours of fun in even the smallest of rooms (not for outdoor use). Hey, don’t just take our word for it - check out what others think too! Reviews Why bother with model rocketry and remote control airplanes when you can control your own flying… fish? Let's just get this straight: these things are cool. They actually float through the air with a very fish-like motion that you just have to see to believe" - Wired Sharks and Blimps, today is our lucky day! We all love sharks (when we’re not in the water with them) and blimps are one of the coolest indoor party toys around. So when air swimmers combined them to give us the Air Swimmers Shark RC Blimp, we knew it would be a big hit." - Geek Alerts "This has got to be one of the coolest toys that we have seen in years, honestly just wait until you see a big shark or giant goldfish floating through your living room. The Air Swimmers are giant helium filled ballon type toys that are made from a much stronger durable nylon material so that they are so much stronger than any balloon."- Kids Toys Reviews
