Linda Smith was the brilliant mainstay of Radio 4's The News Quiz, Just a Minute, & I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue for many years. She was just establishing her career on TV through blistering performances on Have I Got News for You, QI & Room 101, when she died of ovarian cancer in 2006. Linda was one of the few women to conquer the male dominated world of comedy & she had the wit & the charm to win over millions of male & female fans in equal measure. She had an eye for the absurdities of modern life & loved to prick the egos of the pompous & the vain. When she called David Blunkett ' Satan's bearded folk singer', it was a simple statement of fact. No wonder then Linda was voted the 'wittiest person alive' by Radio 4 listeners in 2002. This collection of her material, from her early st&-up to her radio days, is a must-have for any comedy fan. ...

Philosophers certainly like to make life sound awfully complicated, whether they're wondering if a falling tree still makes a sound if there's nobody around to hear it (Berkeley) or declaring that everything in the universe is in a state of flux (Heraclitus). But is philosophy really so complicated? & is it really as irrelevant as it sometimes seems? I Think, Therefore I Am is the ideal way to take the fear out of philosophy. Written in an accessible & highly entertaining style, this book explains how & why philosophy began, & how, from Greek democracy to Communism, the ways in which we live, learn, argue, vote & even spend our money have their origins in philosophical thought. Covering the biggest names, including Socrates, Seneca, St Augustine, Descartes, Marx & Nietzsche, I Think Therefore I Am provides a handle for all the main -isms & -ologies. ...

This is the notorious book that got Gerard Fiennes sacked from British Railways while he was Chairman & General Manager of the Eastern Region in 1968.

Fiennes became a railwayman by accident, joining the L.N.E.R as a Traffic Apprentice in 1928. Over the next four decades he worked himself up to the top of the management tree, experiencing all facets of railway life – steam through diesel to electrification – on his way to the top.

When he got there, he knew the service was ripe for a revolution... & he believed he was the man to lead it.

But of course, it was the wrong time for a manager who thought that railways could be a success – Dr. Beeching was sharpening his axe & unprofitable lines were closed rather than turned round.

After being resisted, circumvented, delayed & blocked, G. F. Fiennes ran out of patience & put pen to paper & ran his career into the buffers as he told the story of what happens when non-railwaymen tried to run the railway.
