Pigs may not fly, but felines almost do! Every cat owner who has watched his or her pet soar from table to counter to the top of the curtains will swear that it's true. And here's the proof, in a photographic tribute to the cat's bold and brazen nature, as well as a whimsical reminder of what makes these animals so beloved. Cat fans will find it irresistible - and even cat haters will giggle wickedly at the some of the weird and wacky positions these kitties find themselves in. Every page features fearless felines in death-defying stunts: plummeting through outer space, swinging bravely on a circus trapeze, even cascading down a giant waterfall. And that's just the beginning of the wild and unexpected aerial adventures captured in images almost too amazing to be believed. So take a look and see what the world would be like if cats could fly!

"Etiquette is the difference between stable manners and table manners." - Texas Bix Bender Yessir, that's cowboy etiquette Cowboy Etiquette is a little ol' book that packs a big wallop, as it cleverly guides cowboys on keeping their cool in any situation, from the saddle to the steakhouse. Despite their rough-and-tumble life, cowboys just might be the friendliest and most mannerly bunch of guys around. Cowboy Etiquette reveals, though, that etiquette is more than just knowing when to say "yes ma'am" and "no sir"; it's about harkening back to a basic gentility of manner that we sorely miss today. Afraid of stuffy etiquette rules? Try etiquette the cowboy way; Texas Bix Bender makes etiquette as easy as pecan pie Texas Bix Bender is the best-selling author of the Don't Squat with Yer Spurs on series and writes for Riders Radio Theater. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Cricket Speak order quantity

Paperback
Author: Justin Brown
In Stock: 1
The game of cricket was invented by the Brits, perfected by the West Indians and Australians, and to this day - and no doubt forever more - will continue to utterly baffle the everyday Yank. To say it is a strange sport is an understatement of Viv Richard's sized proportions. What other game would have you wearing the same colour as your opposition? What other game would it be good thing to have the runs? In what other arena would it be more fun watching a beach ball fly round the crowd rather than watch the professionals in the middle? But for all that, we don't just like cricket, oh no, we love it! However, yelling out pithy one-liners at a five-day test match requires a great deal of concentration, stamina and...booze. It is not for the timid or weak. Repetitive sayings may work for say, an eighty-minute rugby game, but yelling 'You're a loser' becomes downright boring by lunch on the third day. What better reason then to arm ... more

DoP October 2009, Auckland

Paperback w. flaps

Earth worship has replaced Christianity as the new religion in many Western countries. People now worry about their carbon footprint in the same way previous generations worried about their immortal souls. And like anything else that encourages people to become too earnest, the eco movement has set itself up as a prime target for lampoonery, hence this book! How to Save the World ...is a fierce and funny satire on green worriers. 'Agony aunt' letters from concerned citizens of the environment pitch a host of bizarre and deliciously cheeky questions about how they might become more environmentally friendly. Resident eco-warrior 'Dr Green' offers suitably non-PC replies that use real-life examples of eco-daftness. A typical question: 'My partner has IBS and farts a lot. Is he contributing to global warming and how can he reduce his emissions?'

Culled from the author's extensive collection of witticisms and pithy sayings, this hoard of wisdom from writers, philosophers, politicians, actors, and others demonstrates the power of the question 'What if?' to alter the way we think about our world, using these possibilities to bolster an argument or drive home a point. With ifferisms on topics ranging from gender relations to the human condition itself, this informative gem is sure to have readers and linguaphiles dispensing ageless advice and intriguing anecdotes to family and friends. Some classic ifferisms include: If it ain't broke, don't fix it; If anything can go wrong, it will; If life hands you lemons, make lemonade; If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten; and, If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And, most importantly...'If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying' - John Ruskin.

Do you speak Nu Zild? Over 150 years we have developed our own unique take on the English language. And it's not just about fush and chups. Rather it's about the often hilarious and sometime downright baffling New Zealandisms we use in all sorts of situations, and for all types of pastimes and passions. In KIWI SPEAK, the top-selling author of CRICKET SPEAK and RUGBY SPEAK eavesdrops at the dinner table, the school yard, the farm and the sports club to bring us an entertaining dictionary of phrases and expressions. Drawn from a wide range of popular Kiwi culture, these are sayings we used to say and sayings we shouldn't say - but all toast the way New Zealanders yarn.

The best jokes, gags and scenes from a true British comedy classic.

Do you reckon I'm in love with Mrs. Batty, or is it just sex?
Compo
Compo: I thought you'd be open.
Sid: Well that's a natural assumption if you ignore the drawn blinds and the forty foot sign that says closed.

Set and filmed in and around Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, Last of the Summer Wine follows the adventures of three quirky pensioners and their equally unusual neighbours.
A true British classic that appeals to all generations, it is our nation's longest running comedy programme. The line-up of the comedy trio has changed numerous times over the years, but the calibre of the family-friendly humour Roy Clarke creates has remained the same, and it's as funny and eccentric now as it was in the first episodes he wrote over 25 years ago. Including the pilot, broadcast ten months before the first series, 29 series, made up of 279 ... more

"Lost in Translation" features hundreds of genuine, original and utterly ridiculous examples of the misadventures in English discovered all over the world by the author and his intrepid team of researchers - everything from hotel signs to baffling advertisements, such as the German beauty product offering a 'Cream shower for pretentious skin' or the Japanese bar that boasts 'Special cocktails for ladies with nuts', or the French warning at a swimming pool - 'Swimming is forbidden in the absence of the saviour.' Published in paperback for the first time this autumn, "Lost in Translation" demonstrates how widely the English language has travelled, though unfortunately some of it ... more

On the back of his enormously successful biography - Crossing the Line - Marc Ellis presents a tongue-in-cheek look at the Kiwi male. Ellis will look at all species of Kiwi maledom - the archetype, the stereotype and the type(s) he has only just invented (but ones that many of us, albeit secretly, already knew existed). Marc Ellis remains New Zealand's most popular male television presenter and was recently voted our favourite New Zealand male. His humour is unique and his innate ability to thumb his nose at The Establishment and all things P.C. will mean no group - no matter how seemingly untouchable - will be spared the Ellis invective. It will also ensure that this book will not lack attention from fun-loving Kiwis, especially those of us who don't take ourselves too seriously. Twenty-five categories of quintessential Kiwi maledom feature, including: the Ginga (redhead), the Cardycrat (bureaucrat), the Bogan, the Big Fresh (new ... more

Mondegreens : A Book of Mishearings order quantity

Hardback
Author: J A Wines
In Stock: 1
A mondegreen is a word or phrase which, when spoken or sung, is misheard as another word or phrase, often resulting in a hilarious outcome. Most people have heard of the famous mondegreen, 'send three-and-fourpence, we're going to a dance', the surprise request of a troop of soldiers who actually said, 'send reinforcements, we're going to advance'. The most common causes of confusion are song lyrics, as puzzled listeners struggle to work out why The Beatles were singing "The girl with colitis goes by" ('The girl with kaleidoscope eyes'), but mondegreens are not only found in songs and poetry, but also in everyday life. For example, the lady who rang the hospital asking for Sir Michael Spears, when, in fact, she was actually enquiring about cervical smears. "Mondegreens" is a side-splittingly funny collection of wonderful and absurd mishearings, put together in an elegant package that is certain to appeal to English language aficionados ... more
