The best of the best from the Comedians'' Comedian 2020 ''If you loved Jeremy Hardy, or if you know anyone who did, this is the most brilliant present because it''s got every part of his voice in it'' DAWN FRENCH ''Well good evening, my name is Jeremy Hardy and I''m a comedian who likes to make wry witty satirical observations about the society we live in -- but I prefer to keep them to myself, thank you very much.'' Edited by his wife, Katie Barlow and his long-time producer David Tyler, this comprehensive celebration of Jeremy Hardy''s work is introduced by Jack Dee and Mark Steel . Further reflections on Jeremy come from Rory Bremner , Paul Bassett Davies , Jon Naismith , Francesca Martinez, Sandi Toksvig , Victoria Coren Mitchell , Andy Hamilton, Graeme Garden and Hugo Rifkind . Katie Barlow also provides a moving Afterword.Jeremy Hardy, who died in February 2019, was perhaps the most distinctive and brilliant comedian to arise from the 80s Alternative Comedy circuit. He regularly entertained the millions who heard his outrageous rants on The News Quiz , his legendary singing on I''m Sorry I Haven''t a Clue , or his hilarious monologues and sketches on the award-winning Jeremy Hardy Speaks to The Nation and Jeremy Hardy Feels It . Often referred to as ''the comedian''s comedian'' , Jeremy''s comedy could be both personal and political, ranging in topics from prison reform to parenting, from British identity to sex. His comedy could be biting, provocative and illuminating, but it could also be surreal, mischievous and, at times, very silly. And while Jeremy''s unwavering socialism was a thread that ran throughout his comedy, his greatest skill was that, whatever their political beliefs, Jeremy always brought his audience along with him. Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes is a fitting celebration of this brilliant comedian. Introduced by Jack Dee and Mark Steel and containing material from his stand-up to his radio monologues and political satire to the joyfully silly gems, as well as tributes from his friends and fellow comedians, it is curated to encompass everything about Jeremy that fans adored. Edited by Katie Barlow and David Tyler, Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes is wise, daft, outrageous, personal and, above all, very funny: like Jeremy himself.

Dent's Modern Tribes - Susie Dent - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Did you know that . . . a soldier''s biggest social blunder is called jack brew - making yourself a cuppa without making one for anyone else? That twitchers have an expression for a bird that can''t be identified - LBJ (the letters stand for L ittle B rown J ob)? Or that builders call plastering the ceiling doing Lionel Richie''s dancefloor ? Susie Dent does.Ever wondered why football managers all speak the same way, what a cabbie calls the Houses of Parliament, or how ticket inspectors discreetly request back-up? We are surrounded by hundreds of tribes, each speaking their own distinct slanguage of colourful words, jokes and phrases, honed through years of conversations on the battlefield, in A&E, backstage, or at ten-thousand feet in the air. Susie Dent has spent years interviewing hundreds of professionals, hobbyists and enthusiasts, and the result is an idiosyncratic phrasebook like no other. From the Freemason''s handshake to the publican''s banter, Dent''s Modern Tribes takes us on a whirlwind tour of Britain, decoding its secret languages and, in the process, finds out what really makes us all tick.

Clown Town: The New Thriller in the Bestselling Series That Inspired the Hit Show Slow Horses (Slough House Thriller 9) - Mick Herron - Bog - John

The brand new Slough House thriller from the #1 bestseller Mick Herron *Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden* ---- Old spies grow ridiculous, River. Old spies aren''t much better than clowns. Or so David Cartwright used to say, but he forgot to add they can be dangerous too, especially if they''ve fallen on hard times - as Diana Taverner learns when the past lands on her desk. An operation carried out during the height of the Troubles laid bare the ugly side of state security, and those involved are threatening to expose details. But every threat hides an opportunity, and the would-be blackmailer is soon being used as Taverner''s solution to a much newer problem.The O.B. himself is long buried, and has left his library to the Spooks'' College, where it turns out that one of the books has gone missing. Or perhaps never existed . . . River Cartwright has time to kill while waiting to be passed fit for work, and investigating the secrets his grandfather''s library hid seems a harmless activity. But nothing involving the slow horses stays harmless for long.Louisa Guy is pondering her future, but before making any big decisions, she might as well check River''s not about to come a cropper. Shirley Dander is wondering if the new kid, Ash Khan, is as annoying as she seems. Roddy Ho wants the team to know that his tattoo is a hummingbird, and not, as Lech Wicinski claims, a platypus. And Catherine Standish just wants everyone to play nice.As far as Lamb''s concerned, they should all be at their desks - when Taverner starts plotting mischief people get hurt, and Lamb has no plans to send in the clowns. On the other hand, if the clowns ignore his instructions, any harm that befalls them is hardly his fault.But they''re his clowns. And if they don''t all come home, there''ll be a reckoning.
