What do the English think? Every country has a dominant set of beliefs & attitudes concerning everything from how to live a good life, how we should organize society, & the roles of the sexes. Yet despite many attempts to define our national character, what might be called the nation's philosophy has remained largely unexamined until now. Philosopher Julian Baggini pinpointed postcode S66 on the outskirts of Rotherham as England in microcosm
- an area that reflected most accurately the full range of the nation's inhabitants, its most typical mix of urban & rural, old & young, married & single. He then spent six months living there, immersing himself in this typical English Everytown, in order to get to know the mind of a people. It sees the world as full of patterns & order, a view manifest in its enjoyment of gambling. It has a functional, puritanical streak, evident in its notoriously bad cuisine. In the English mind, men should be men & women should be women (but it's not sure what children should be). Baggini's account of the English is both a portrait of its people & a personal story about being an alien in your own l&. Sympathetic but critical, serious yet witty, Welcome to Everytown shows a country in which the familiar becomes strange, & the strange familiar.

Ask a British football fan what they know about Turkish football, & they are unlikely to describe scenes of camaraderie, hospitality & humour. They are more likely to mention banners proclaiming ' Welcome to hell'. Or Leeds United supporters stabbed to death on an Istanbul street. Frustrated by the game's distorted image back home, John Mc Manus set out to show the Turkish football that he knew
- the rich, funny, obsessive, fan culture that he had encountered on the terraces. But he hadn't accounted for the politics. His voyage began at the start of one of the darkest periods in Turkey's modern history, marred by bombings, armed conflict & an attempted coup d'etat. Football, he would soon discover, could not help but get dragged in. Travelling from the elite training facilities of Istanbul to dusty pitches on the Syrian border, taking in visits to far-flung clubs, encounters with characterful players & experiences at riotous matches along the way, Welcome to Hell? offers a unique perspective on an alluring yet troubled football culture, at once both familiar & miles apart from the game in Britain.

Hold on to your Bibles, folks! You are about to be raptured into the gut-busting, demon-stomping insanity of God's Favorite Church, Landover Baptist
- the web's ultimate religious spoof. In the sacred & honorable tradition of The Onion comes a hilarious collection of outrageous news, graphics & games that gleefully skewers America's very own Taliban, the evangelical right.

With its shocking exposes, X-rated bible quizzes, scandalous sidebars & mug shots of America's damned, Welcome to Jesusland! is sure to become a classic of religious & political humor, taking its rightfulplace next to the Holy Bible as essential reading in all of America's hotel nightstands.

Last Chance captures the essence of Southern charm & quirkiness. I'm totally captivated! --- Sherryl Woods, New York Times bestselling author

Dear Reader,

Yes, our town is way off the beaten path, but strange, wonderful miracles happen a lot around here.

I've owned the Cut 'n' Curl beauty shop for years, & I've seen folks come for a visit, then stay for a lifetime. Take Jane-that pretty firecracker of a girl who just arrived in town. I would swear she's running from something. She came with only five dollars in her pocket but she's worked real hard to make a fresh start. She's turned my son Clay's life upside down without even realizing it.

And thank goodness for that! Ever since Clay left his country western b&, he's played everything too safe. He needs to take a chance on Jane. Besides, the more he tries to keep his distance, the more he'll realize that he & Jane are singing the same tune.

But I should quit ramblin' & go check on Millie's permanent wave. Next time you're in Last Chance, be sure to swing by. We've got hot rollers, free coffee, & the best gossip in town.

See you real soon,

Ruby Rhodes

Welcome To Just A Minute!

Includes contributions from Graham Norton, Sue Perkins, Jenny Eclair and Gyles Brandreth. As its nine hundredth episode approaches, Just a Minute has consistently entertained BBC Radio 4 listeners since its first broadcast in December 1967. Inspired by a punishment handed out at school, the show's creator Ian Messiter devised a deceptively simple and versatile set of rules that has allowed the game to adapt and thrive as each new era of comedy entertainers emerges. Over forty-seven consecutive years, fans have laughed along with Kenneth Williams' outrageously funny 'battles' with Sheila Hancock, Paul Merton's imaginative flights of fancy, Clement Freud's acerbic wit, Julian Clary's flagrant innuendos, Graham Norton's celebrity 'gossip', Jenny Eclair's brutal honesty, Gyles
Brandreth's extravagant monologues and Sue Perkins' infectious enthusiasm to name only a handful of the more than two hundred star entertainers who have braved the Just a Minute panel. In this official celebration, chairman Nicholas Parsons, the only person to have appeared in every programme, recalls the very best, occasionally awkward and often hilarious, moments from the last six decades. Magical minutes, verbal dexterity, sharp one-liners and witty challenges can all be marvelled at once again as Nicholas tells the Just a Minute story from its inauspicious pilot episode, through television and stage versions, and on to the present day, without hesitation, repetition or deviation...
