Me - Frankie Sidebottom - Michael McColl In a book that is as far removed from political correctness as it's reasonably possible to get, the story of Frankie Sidebottom, professional footballer, unfolds. As remarkable for its sustained attack on English grammar, punctuation and spelling - footballers are, it has to be said, sometimes not the most educated of men - as it is for its ruthless exposure of the foibles, weaknesses and eccentricities of its subject breed, it is really quite outrageous in so many ways. However, it is funny, often very funny indeed and quite capable of reducing its readers to helpless, shoulder-shaking, side-splitting laughter. Buy it, read it and then try to watch the noble game of Association Football without thinking of all those real-life Frankie Sidebottoms who have made a living from the game over the years. It might even be a life-changing experience! (about 17,000 words) Price: £2.50 Quantity:

More Really Corny Jokes - Michael McColl Ever wondered what a corny joke actually is? Well, wonder no more, because here's a book full of the things. All the usual suspects are here in a worthy successor to The Really Corny Joke Compendium and Dino's True Humour Compendium, but this time they've been collected, chuckled over and collated by Michael McColl, self-confessed joke addict and full time professional Village Idiot. Be warned - the humour in this book is by and large clean and innocuous, but does not drink at the fountain of political correctness. It is a joy for those of us who've discovered that we are all, every one of us, the butt of somebody's joke so you might as well laugh at youself as well as everybody else. Once you've discovered that simple fact you'll enjoy this book (and probably repeat much of it in the pub even though we'd prefer your mates to buy their own copy) and by doing so you'll be contributing towards the cancer centre at our local hospital - Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, or Glan Clwyd Hospital for those wanting its English title, in North Wales. In that context it's got to be £2.50 well spent, hasn't it? (about 18,000 words) Price: £2.50 Quantity:
