The Wicked Wit of the Royal Family by Karen Dolby Pdf

The Wicked Wit of the Royal Family celebrates the flashes of fun and brilliance of the most famous family in the world. There is no doubt that the British royal family is THE most famous family in the world. Watched and picked over in the media for everything from fashion choices to baby bumps, sporting achievements to nightclub preferences, there doesn't seem to be a moment when they can escape public scrutiny. But, somehow, they still manage to maintain a sense of humour - and it's those flashes of fun and brilliance that this book celebrates. From Prince Philip's gaffe-prone remarks (most of which appear ON camera rather than off) to the 'in' jokes shared by the knowing smiles of the younger royals and the Queen's wickedly dry and often bitingly funny remarks; from Prince Charles's asides to the Duchess of Cornwall to the self-deprecating smile of the Duchess of Cambridge and the belly laughs that appeal to Prince Harry. This book presents the other side of royal protocol and perhaps gives a glimpse of the real lives of this much-loved clan.

Test Match Special Diary by Test Match Test Match Special Pdf

Few things are as evocative of the English summer as Test Match Special, and in 2019 the team had a spectacular cricket season to cover, with the men's and women's Ashes series and the ICC World Cup all taking place. Now, in this brilliant and compelling account of the summer, we get to see behind the scenes to find out what really goes on.

From the guests who inspired them to the cakes that were irresistible, from the bloopers that had them in stitches to the stunning action that left them almost speechless - it's all here in this fascinating book. Filled with contributions from all the regulars in the TMS commentary box, including Jonathan Agnew, Geoffrey Boycott, Isa Guha, Alison Mitchell, Phil Tufnell and Michael Vaughan, along with some of the most obscure cricketing trivia from scorers Andrew Samson and Andy Zaltzman, this is a book that no fan of Test Match Special can be without.

The Wicked Wit of Cricket by Mike Haskins Pdf

Welcome to The Wicked Wit of Cricket, a compendium packed with the game's greatest stories from both on and off the field. 'The English,' as George Bernard Shaw once remarked, 'are not very spiritual people, so they invented cricket to give them some idea of eternity.' Some might call it eternity. Others might instead regard it as heaven. The world of cricket is nevertheless one that is filled with larger than life characters - be they the great players, the unforgettable commentators, the legendary umpires or the most enthusiastic and barmiest fans. The contest between leather and willow is, after all, only challenged by soccer as the world's most popular sport. The Wicket Wit of Cricket is a sumptuous feast of cricket's greatest tales, legends and anecdotes all spread out across the clubhouse table in bite-sized pieces. Bringing together the sport's most famous quips, insults, pranks, mishaps, incredible facts, outrageous incidents, plus all those great moments of commentary where the words did not come out quite as intended. This is a book packed not just with wicked wit but with wicket wit as well!

The commentators have endeared themselves to over a million listeners worldwide with their style that mixes lyrical description with dry wit, shrewd appraisal and bonhomie. The book takes as its focus the 1980 season and builds upon it reminiscences of past disasters, drinks in the box, listeners' letters and, of course, 'Rain stops play'.

We Had Some Laughs by Dan Waddell Pdf

As ‘the voice of darts’, the inimitable Sid Waddell helped transform it from an unfashionable pub game to a massively successful international sport. His uninhibited enthusiasm, classical allusions and memorable one-liners endeared him to millions. His son Dan Waddell grew up in this smoky, boozy world and witnessed Sid’s turbulent journey from failed novelist and struggling TV producer to much-loved television personality. We Had Some Laughs is Dan’s warm, moving and funny account of Sid’s colourful life and career and a son’s memories of an unconventional dad. It is also a celebration of a way of life and a story of loss – of people, places and times now gone or changed for ever. But, most of all, it’s a story about fathers and sons, and the unshakeable bond between them.
