Best known as one of the stars of the Fast Show (where he played characters such as Dave Angel -- Eco-Warrior, Tommy Cockles & Competitive Dad) & Bellamy's People co-starring Paul Whitehouse, Simon Day tells the shocking, sometimes sad & hilariously funny story of his life so far. Simon Day's memoir is a story of unlikely successes & secret lives. In the early 1980s he was a petty thief living rough in South East London & stealing whatever he could to fund an addiction to fruit machines. He was arrested & sentenced to borstal. Simon's memoir tells the story of how this nice, middle-class boy from the suburbs -- a self-confessed 'crap criminal' -- served time with the professionals & hard-cases in a jail fiercely divided along racial lines during the height of the 1981 riots. It moves on to the lucky breaks, the talent getting recognised, the 'redemption' of his years as a celebrity.. .with the parallel story of his addiction which -- with money & success -- became fuelled by drugs. Dark & dramatic, Simon Day's memoir is a laugh-out-loud-funny story of drugs, crime & comedy. ...

Full-flavoured, generous & easy to reproduce recipes have won food blogger Niamh Shields a huge following as well as critical acclaim (The Times included her in its top ten food bloggers from around the world). Now for the first time her adventurous though frugal food & warm, bright writing style is collected in a book. Niamh's gastronomic curiosity has gathered together the cookery of her native Irel&, in such dishes as the Cork speciality spiced beef, exotically greedy but delicious Asian chicken skin skewers, & elegant raspberry & ricotta tarts, in dishes that embrace the passing of the seasons, the foods of the world, & both the intimate & celebratory occasions of a modern life.. .not forgetting what to do with leftovers. Comfort & Spice is also sprinkled with Niamh's passions, such as making your own butter & cheese (easy!), slow-cooked pork in all its forms, & the delights of edible flowers. Always keen to produce spectacular meals on a budget, Niamh reveals how to treat just six or seven jars of spices as a palette to accent each dish you cook. This is a book both to read in bed & to splatter with sauce next to the stove, whether you're a nervous novice
- a group of potential cooks very close to Niamh's heart
- or simply someone who wants to make their food sing.
