Books Psychology Books Discover the truth behind the many, many times Dawn French has been a complete twat over the last sixty years.  When I was younger I wanted to be an interesting, sophisticated, semi-heroic, multi-layered person. BUT... That kind of perfect is impossible. Being an actual twat is much more the real me. Sorry to boast, but I am a champion twat. In The Twat Files I will tell you about all the times I've been a total & utter twat. The moments where I've misunderstood stuff & messed up. In my life these have been key because: Mistakes tell us about ourselves. Mistakes tell us about others. Mistakes are hilarious. Mistakes expose our flaws. Mistakes show us ourselves honestly. Mistakes are gloriously human. My hope is that these stories might fire up yer engines to remind you of just what a massive twat you also are. Let's celebrate & revel in this most delightful of traits together. That would be perfectly twatty.   Product Information:  •†ISBN:† 9780241477489 •†Author: Dawn French •†Publisher: Michael Joseph •†Format:†  Hardback •†Pages:† 400 •†Dimensions:†16.2 x 3.6 x 22 cm ...

One of them was a military genius; one murdered his mother & fiddled while Rome burned. Six of their number were assassinated, two committed suicide, & five of them were elevated to the status of gods. They have come to be known as the twelve Caesars
- Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus & Domitian. Under their rule, Rome was transformed from a republic to an empire, whose model of regal autocracy would survive in the West for more than a thousand years.

In The Twelve Caesars, Matthew Dennison offers a beautifully crafted sequence of imperial portraits, triumphantly evoking the luxury, licence, brutality & sophistication of imperial Rome at its zenith.

Think of this memoir as a Christmas special in book form, from someone who has been involved in a few of those & understands a bit about the concept. But a Christmas special very much like Only Fools & Horses, in the sense that the stories will be always heading outwards, ranging far & wide & well beyond the traditional festive gags involving giblets left in turkeys. As I sift through various festive-related episodes in my career, loosening the ribbons, parting the wrapping paper, I'll be doing my best to reach any relevant conclusions about life, work & the meaning of it all that I can usefully pass on to you
- baubles of wisdom if you like. Or certainly baubles. You'll learn why I have the perfect face to play Scrooge. & if you're lucky I'll also share what it's like to fly in a helicopter with my old mucker Tom Cruise. Merry Christmas, you plonkers.
