While cats may hide their self-doubt behind dismissive 'you bore me' & 'I just sprayed the couch' smirks, underneath they are desperate to introduce meaning into their nine lives. This parody, based on classic self-help texts, has the answers. Has your cat been moping around in that patch of sunlight for more than 23 hours a day? Has kitty been overindulging in Whiskas in order to fill the vast emptiness within?

The debate about who has the right to call themselves a Geordie is still raging. Is it a name that can be used only by people who hail from Newcastle? Or can anyone born in the vicinity of the River Tyne lay claim to it? Or should it just be reserved for the miners of Northumberland and/or County Durham. Or perhaps the only thing you need to do legitimately call yourself a Geordie is a sticker reading ' Gan canny divvent dunsh us' on your car. The fact that there is no consensus as to what actually constitutes being a Geordie, however, is not going to deter us form asking the question ' Who wants to be a Geordie?' This quiz book will use the term in its broadest sense & will offer 500 multiple choice questions spread over ten differently themed sections that cover all aspects of that north-east corner of England that can loosely be termed Geordie-l&. ...

For all his faults, Higgins was, for a time, the most loved sportsman in Britain. He remains a legend & the most outstanding, charismatic snooker player who ever walked into an arena. Francis traces his crazy life from the time as a baby he was kept in a hoe box in his mother's top drawer, to the sheltered accommodation in Sandy Row, Belfast where he died. If you want to know what kind of man could mesmerise & terrorise his way to the top; be acclaimed by millions one moment & literally thrown out of the pub the next; die in pitiful isolation yet be celebrated by thousands lining the streets in what amounted to a state funeral, the Who Was Hurricane Higgins? is a must-read. ...
