'Morris, ' asked Wee Jimmy, 'do you remember when we a lot younger and used to play for Charlie Meechan's football team Neilston St. Thomas's and we won the forth division title of the Paisley and District League at the first attempt by beating Reid Gear Spurs on the final day of the season at home when Dougie Rennie crossed for big Tam Lannon to head the winning goal?' 'How could I forget that day Wee Jimmy because I had a stormer of a game and if it wasn't for me making at least four world class saves in that game then we wouldn't have been champions because in case you've forgotten we'd been neck and neck with Reid Gear Spurs the whole season and whoever won that game won the league.' 'I don't remember you making any world class saves at any time never mind on that day, ' joked Wee Jimmy, 'but I'll admit that you did have more great games than bad ones so maybe you did contribute a wee bit to our success that year so remind me again what we're looking for up here in this dusty loft

With outstretched minds and non truths, including, Mythology, Fairy Tales, Horror and Three (D) and fourth dimensional scenarios, Fabrications and Lies, which would also heavily involve the poor unattributed participating readers taking part in it..!

In this collection of articles, the author reflects on the nature of language, the art of lexicography and the developments in communication, the media and information technology in the late 20th century. The three main subjects looked at are: language at large, and particulary English, the most widely used language in the history of the world; the art and study of dictionaries and reference science, embracing all past, present and potential reference materials - from the "OED" to the "Yellow Pages"; and the processes through which communication, information and knowledge has evoloved - from cave art to the personal computer.

One of the world's best-known political figures shares stories that reveal the humanity and indomitable spirit of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. The moving accounts of the fictional characters in these eighteen short stories are set against the political turmoil of Gerry Adams' native Belfast. 'A good writer of fiction whose stories are not IRA agitprop but serious art. It is a good bet that James Joyce would read Gerry Adam's short stories to learn about the souls of Belfast as the world reads Dubliners' James F Clarity ( New York Times) in the Irish Independent

James Crosbie was Britain's most wanted man in 1974. With a successful business and an enviable lifestyle, he seemed to have everything going for him - until he got bored with his life and turned to armed robbery. He ended up in Peterhead Prison, doing time with some of the hardest, and funniest, men in crime. Peterhead Porridge is a remarkable account of the people he met. People like The Saughton Harrier who escaped from prison by dressing up as a runner, complete with running vest and number, and joining in as a race went by. And another escapee, Tweety Pie, was so-called because, when he flew the coop, he had a nasty case of jaundice. Then there's Square Go, the prison warder who was always up for a fight. And discover the practical jokes that were the trademark of Glasgow's Godfather Arthur Thompson and what really happened when someone poured their porridge over his head in the breakfast queue. Funny, sad and at times barely believable, Peterhead Porridge is a unique insight into the other side of prison life.

Before us in the bright spring sunshine lay the entire Clyde valley, dominated by the vast sprawling mass of Glasgow, the dear green place. There was a time no too long ago when the old heavy industries would have made this view much less clear. But today we could see the Cowal Hills and Greenock in the west to the Pentlands in the East. 'From the time he bagged his first Munro, Peter Kemp has remained an enthusiastic hillawalker and this book is a testament to his passion for Scotland's outdoors and hillwalking culture. REVIEW: Kemp's narrative is amusing and not without insight into the ludicrous nature of some of the altercations... Kemp is an engaging storyteller and has some good stories to tell... This is a great wee book. THE ANGRY CORRIE
