Barebum Billy by Nicholas Snelling Pdf

BAREBUM BILLY is about a little boy who loves to strip off and run around nude in the most inappropriate of places - his snooty neighbours' manicured lawn, the supermarket, an art museum, the zoo, a golfing green, and even his local church! Billy's neurotic toy robot is horrified. His poor parents are embarrassed. Meanwhile, all sorts of conservative folk are fuming mad. But one day Billy meets someone special who helps turn his skill for streaking stark naked into a wonderful career.Written (and directed) by Nicholas Snelling and illustrated by Glen Le Lievre, BAREBUM BILLY is a wild, satirical romp that brings to mind the likes of Roald Dahl, Julia Donaldson and Dr Suess, but with a few extra shots of red cordial. BAREBUM BILLY has everything a future classic kids' book should have - the catchy, rhyming verses; hilarious illustrations; a feel-good closing message; and a happily ever after. It's also 'snort-drink-out-your-nostrils' funny and absolutely irreverent. It really is one of those rare books that every adult will love to read to young kids, as much as every kid loves to have it read to them.

Maggie's Hope by John Gordon Pdf

The day began as most of the other days had begun. Beths husband snuggled close. He smelled of after-shave and toast. He kissed her and their baby boy good-bye as he headed out the door for the train station and work in New York City. Etiennes fiance kissed him good-bye, too, told him the coffee was started and that she just had to run downtown and would be back in an hour or two. And then, two airplanes slammed into the World Trade Center Towers and killed almost three thousand people. And just like that, Beth and Etienne had lost the most special person in their lives; lives that would never be the same. As they each struggle with denial and grief, drowning in pain and fear, lashing out at those trying to help pick up the pieces, grace sneaks up on them. Their healing begins cautiously with the help of two very different souls; two survivors of a different sort both named Maggie.

Billy by Pamela Stephenson Pdf

By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, this intimate biography of the British comic is “a triumph of the will, an Angela’s Ashes with punch lines” (Publishers Weekly). One of the UK’s most beloved stand-up comedians, Billy Connolly is recognized around the world for his HBO comedy specials and roles in movies like The Boondock Saints and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. An inspiration to generations of British comedians, including such stars as Eddie Izzard, Billy is known simply as “The Big Yin” in his native Scotland. But his road to success was anything but easy. Abandoned by his mother in a Glasgow tenement, abused by his father and the cruel aunt who became his caretaker, he would seem to have little chance of survival let alone meteoric success. Billy, the revelatory, poignant, and wildly entertaining biography is written by the woman who knows him best—his wife. Pamela Stephenson, a clinical psychologist, takes us through the heartbreaking and hilarious life of this comic legend, providing an intimate window into what made him the man he is today.

Sharing Billy Connolly’s Schooldays by Clish Maclaver Pdf

This book should be read with a wee whisky or tea. If you are ready to laugh and help get out the present and get to 60 years ogo be my guest. It will take you back to a time in Scotland when everybody liked a story as they do now. The stories in this book happened when Billy and I were charging through our childhood. All the stories are 95% true. 5% Imagination. Was it Einstien Who said imagination is more important than knowledge. It has been commented on how most people love the Scottish language. This book is about the Glasgow accent. A true story happened when I dropped Billy in the deep end when our teacher miss Gleason explained that the priest had heard everything before in confession and not to worry about asking him questions. I of course told the priest Billy wanted to ask him a question. After the question the class went wild with shock. Billy and I went on a school trip to Aberdeen and on the train met two girls from another school. We made a date at the age of 14 to meet them in Aberdeen. What happened then and the results could only be described as over the moon. Midge raking is another tale not to mention visiting my uncle Jackie who was a butcher who when my eyes were shut dropped a sheep’s eye in my open hand. When Billy asked for the eye in his hand all hell broke out side the shop with people going crazy. Visiting my grandad and seeing his leg he lost in WW1 was a highlight especially when he was robbed of his leg on nightshift. Paddy was a super dog and when he bit off the policeman’s pants goes down on history. He was Irish and hated Scottish policemen. Going to school one day we met up with the wee Italion Leo. His stories about his capture by a Scotsman who also captured 40000 others makes my heart bleed. Paddy to the rescue Peer group pressure The Big Steamer Hogmannae. Stories of Billy and me

Change by Simon Oliver Pdf

This novel called CHANGE is an unusual but enlightening tale - it is an autobiography channelled from beyond the change we call death - a life story and an afterlife story which spans several decades and even more locations on Earth and beyond to the Astral and Spirit planes - describing some of the multi-dimensional levels of human existence. It is a fast-paced, roller coaster ride through the vivid and hedonistic 1960's and '70's in London and to 1980's war-torn Africa. It tells of one man's intense and adventurous life, his death and his descent into a personal hell before his eventual self-discovery. We learn how Change - the universal constant - touches this man in such a way that it has many different effects on both him and everyone who meets him. Running in parallel throughout the book is the present day life and loves of the medium - a psychic young man who channels the story from the discarnate and mysterious spirit who is the main character of the book and whose chronicle the story is. Above all, this is a human tale and it contains some of the worst and best examples of human qualities - the potential for which we all possess. CHANGE is about life and death - and life after death - and the inexorable inevitability of Change itself on all levels of existence. These are subjects that affect and concern us all.

ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series) by James Joyce Pdf

This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.

Documenting the Documentary by Barry Keith Grant Pdf

Originally released in 1998, Documenting the Documentary responded to a scholarly landscape in which documentary film was largely understudied and undervalued aesthetically, and analyzed instead through issues of ethics, politics, and film technology. Editors Barry Keith Grant and Jeannette Sloniowski addressed this gap by presenting a useful survey of the artistic and persuasive aspects of documentary film from a range of critical viewpoints. This new edition of Documenting the Documentary adds five new essays on more recent films in addition to the text of the first edition. Thirty-one film and media scholars, many of them among the most important voices in the area of documentary film, cover the significant developments in the history of documentary filmmaking from Nanook of the North (1922), the first commercially released documentary feature, to contemporary independent film and video productions like Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man (2005) and the controversial Borat (2006). The works discussed also include representative examples of many important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts, from mainstream to avant-garde. In all, this volume offers a series of rich and revealing analyses of those "regimes of truth" that still fascinate filmgoers as much today as they did at the very beginnings of film history. As documentary film and visual media become increasingly important ways for audiences to process news and information, Documenting the Documentary continues to be a vital resource to understanding the genre. Students and teachers of film studies and fans of documentary film will appreciate this expanded classic volume.
