Wrinklies' a Trip Down Memory LaneA Miscellany of the Good Old Days

A delightful celebration of the times gone by-the language we lost, the currency we changed, and the way we

used to live

food wasn't on the menu. It includes useful Latin declensions, the true origins of famous sayings, essential

trigonometry, predecimal coinage, the history of sliced bread, advertising slogans from our youth, old-fashioned

sweets, men's hats, Archers characters, 1950s hairstyles, 1960s dances, great inventions, TV weathermen, and

more. With this wealth of trivia and invaluable facts about times past, you can explain to your poor grandchildren

exactly what they missed out on.

Wrinklies Growing Old DisgracefullyA Guide to Staying Wild at Heart


The perfect gift for cool grandparents, this catalog of elderly misbehavior includes tips on extreme sports for the

not-so-young, how to party like it's 1959, and achieving the effects of illegal drugs legally

Heroin is also said to give you a warm feeling like being wrapped in cotton wool. So clearly the wrinklies' legal

equivalent to heroin is a nice snugly foot warmer or one of those blankets with arm holes.

Growing older doesn't mean you have to grow up. If you're the sort of golden oldie who still likes to party hard,

chats up strangers in bars, listens to loud music-and not because your hearing is going, or dresses so

outrageously that your grandchildren beg you to "tone it down," this book is for you. It is full of irreverent advice

on how to misbehave and put the younger generation to shame, including pick-up lines for swinging wrinklies:

Summary

Tell me gorgeous-do I come here often? or I can't quite reach to nibble your ear, but if I give you my dentures

will you do it for yourself? this is a hilarious celebration of misspent seniority.

A middle-aged man walked into a Catholic church, sat down in the confessional box and said nothing. The

wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak. Finally, the man replied: "No use knocking, mate-

there's no paper in this one either!"

Two elderly men walked into a bar. "Why don't we have a Guinness?" suggested one. "It's supposed to put lead

in your pencil." "I guess we could try," said the other. "Although, to be honest, I've got nobody to write to."

I can't eat nuts or gobstoppers,

I've got no molars left in my head.

All I can get my teeth into now

Is the glass at the side of the bed.

They're known as the "elephant years"-when a person gets to certain age, they turn gray and their ears get

bigger. The only difference between a senior citizen and an elephant is that an elephant never forgets and a

senior never remembers anything. But, as one poem in this book asks, "How old is old?" Some people are still

bungee-jumping in their nineties. Well, some are bungee-jumping and others are tripping down the stairs.

Covering all ends of the old age spectrum, this hilarious collection of odes to advanced age includes antidotes on

everything from public toilets to the shock of seeing teenyboppers, and from dealing with new technology to

being a senior sex symbol.

The Grumpy Git's Guide to TechnologyIvor Grump

For every early adopter, there's an immediate shunner, and here is their book-a glorious technophobic

rant about every bit of new technology supposedly designed to make our lives "easier"

Filled with wit, observation, and just plain grumpiness, these are the ravings of an analog guy struggling to keep

afloat in a digital world. Everywhere he turns he finds technology and gizmos encroaching into his world. When at

last he's forced to embrace consumer electronics-with all the enthusiasm of a bank vole nestling up to a

peregrine falcon-he finds they go and change the device he's studiously learned. Whether it's his erratic

computer, the internet, TV remote controls, his phone, or the washing machine, Ivor is a man easily bewildered.

But still he battles on, trying to work out which of his 17 remote controls will have any influence on the

television. Along the way he takes large swipes at texting, downloads, MP3 players, voice (lack of) recognition,

and suggests a new social networking web site for those of a similar technology-hating disposition-Grumpbook.

Ivor Grump is possibly the grumpiest man alive. He is the author of The Grumpy Golfer's Handbook.

Diary of a Grumpy Old GitGetting Through Life One Rant at a Time

Tim Collins, Andrew Pinder

If Adrian Mole had grown up to be a grumpy old git who had to cope with failed marriage and a life-sucking job,

and worse, whose colleagues actually thought he was a miserable old git, he might be a bit like Dave Cross.

Diary of a Grumpy Old Git is the laugh-out-loud diary of Dave Cross, a man who thought he was reasonably

cheerful until someone from his office bought him a "Grumpy Old Man" diary for Christmas. Determined to prove

them wrong, he resolves to be positive for an entire year. But it's not easy when your wife has run off with an

estate agent called Brad and you've got a young, ambitious new boss who is determined to make you actually do

some work. Add to this the everyday horrors of public transport, shopping, technology, popular culture and

dating, and a sunny outlook is too much to ask. But with his 50th birthday fast approaching, Dave is determined

to make his life less shambolic. Fantastically witty and painfully accurate, Diary of a Grumpy Old Git will appeal

to anyone, grumpy old git or otherwise.

Tales from When I Were a Lad . . .More Snapshots from a Time Health and Safety Forgot

Andrew Davies

The next installment in the When I Were . . . series presents more genius historic and vintage photos of children

at play, often in ways that are banned today-and rightfully so

Take another trip down memory lane! Filled with rambunctious photos and hilarious text, you can reminisce from

the safety of your own home. Take a look back at when sticks were swords and you could hang from the

rooftop, a time when everyone was just a little bit less worried.

When I Were a Nipper . . .Andrew Davies

Yet more oddball nostalgia from the When I Were a Lad . . . series-this time focusing on the younger years

In these photos from a time when it was fun to play with a tangerine box and not an X-box, tots are dangled off

buildings, put in the custody of dogs, given baths in the street, and used for unsuitable photo opportunities by

unthinking parents. In turn, they torment the family pet by dressing it up in a sailor suit or getting it to act as a

golf tee. This collection is full of the same delightfully pre-health & safety shots from the 1930s-1950s that made

the first two books successful.

When I Were a School Lad . . .Andrew Davies

Like its predecessor When I Were a Lad, this collection mines the rich vein of nostalgia created by archive

photos-this time fewer children in peril, more children at school

Ah, the past. A time when children could roll in the street, when boys were allowed to play cowboys and Indians,

and when school dinners were made from some of the hardest substances known to man. This collection straps

on its rose-tinted spectacles once more and ventures back into the simpler childhoods of the 1940s, 1950s, and

1960s, a time when schoolteachers were feared and when children indulged in such exotic pastimes of the day

as stamp collecting and playing not with Xboxes, but tangerine boxes.

When I Were a Lad . . .Snapshots from a Time that Health and Safety Forgot

Andrew Davies

The good old pre-safety days-a time before seatbelts, when you could throw snowballs without filling out a risk

assessment report, and children were allowed in with the animals at the zoo

Protective goggles, protective gloves, safety helmets-all overrated. This hilarious photo collection looks at the

glorious-yet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the authorities said that kids couldn't do anything because it

was all too dangerous. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo

opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch

happily on lethal, limb-mangling machinery; stand all-smiles on live crocodiles; pose on unexploded munitions;

cuddle vermin; and get scooped from the street by passing tram conductors! Take a nostalgic trip back to a time

when children got dirty, wandered the streets on their own, and had strange pets.

When I Were a LassSnapshots from a Time that Political Correctness Forgot

Joan Bradshawe

SummaryA girl's view of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, from the same team behind When I Were A Lad and When I Were A

Nipper

Jampacked with nostalgic photos from a time when little girls were made of sugar and spice and all things nice-

except sugar was rationed so it was more likely to be beetroot, this nostalgic trip includes scary dolls, miserable

trips to the seaside, donkeys, and that essential fashion item, gym shorts. This look back through barely-held-

together rose-tinted glasses reveals, through a series of vintage photos, a time when radio and gramophones

were the only distraction, toys were few and far between, a doll was a thing to be treasured, and a trip to the

seaside was a grand adventure.

Joan Bradshawe is an amateur historian.

Those Were the Days . . . My Arse!101 Old-Fashioned Activities Not to Do With Your Kids

Richard Wilson

Kids these days are all fat, lazy and thick and their parents don't know how to bring them up properly any more.

They're glued to their phones, play too many violent computer games, communicate only in text-speak and as a

result have no imagination or any proper old-fashioned fun like we did when we were children. But is that really

true? Were conkers, hopscotch and the hoop and stick really as stimulating as we remember? And were our

childhoods as safe and carefree as the nostalgia-addicts would have us believe? Richard Wilson takes a cynical

peek through time's rose-tinted spectacles at 101 good old fashioned childhood activities. From skimming stones

to starting fires, he remind us of the harsh and often high-risk, homemade games of our wild youth, and leaves

us wondering how we ever survived.

Precautionary Tales for GrandparentsSome of Which May be Read to the Young for Their Moral Improvement

James Muirden, David Eccles

Inspired by Hilaire Belloc's Cautionary Tales for Children, whimsical and well-observed precautionary tales to

amuse grandparents and impart moral guidance

Many readers remember with pleasure Hilaire Belloc's humorous and piquant Cautionary Tales. Ever popular since

publication in 1940, the moral poems were supposedly for children-but, with their satirical reflections on the

state of the nation and the human condition, were also enjoyed by adults. Likewise, these poems for

grandparents will also delight their grandchildren. Read about Matilda, who was too truthful to be successful in

business, and John, who lost at conkers and gained his father some useful publicity. Whether you grew up

reading Belloc or not, this compilation of wit in verse is guaranteed to leave you smiling-and may even teach you

Baby Tips for Grandparents (2nd Edition)

Simon Brett

Quirky and humorous advice on dealing with another generation of your family

The nine months is up and the long-awaited baby is finally here. But what happens when a darling child calls for

babysitting services? Grandparents have been through it all before and then some, but with the help of this

quirky little book they'll be sailing through those unexpected play dates with both nerves and furniture intact. It

is a reminder that a grandchild can be enjoyed with the knowledge that the puking, pooping little tyke can be

handed back to his or her exhausted parents at the end of the day. Now it's their turn to experience all those

sleepless nights and panic attacks that the miracle of a new baby brings.

Simon Brett has written several Baby Tips titles.

So You're Retired!Mike Haskins, Clive Whichelow

So, you're retiring! You're free to do what you want, when you want, and how you want-just as long as your

spouse doesn't find out. You'll have time to swim with dolphins and see the pyramids, but not the energy

unfortunately. You'll finally have no excuse not to do all those 'little jobs' around the house. And you know how

you used to think there was nothing worth watching on TV in the evening? Well wait till you see daytime TV! On

the bright side, you can smirk at the morning traffic reports while you soak in the bath, jump on and off buses

for no other reason than it's free, visit every garden center in the known universe, and finish the crossword and

the Sudoku every day in the paper. This is the perfect gift for anyone reaching this milestone.

How to Survive RetirementClive Whichelow, Mike Haskins

Retirement is finally here! Now what?

There's an awfully long time between cornflakes in the morning and your evening cocoa, not to mention a limit to

how many sudokus can be done in one day. One of the retirement survival skills you'll need is financial wizardry,

which includes skills such as how to get three cups of tea out of one bag. Sparkling conversation skills include

300 different ways to discuss the weather. It's easy if you treat it as a new job-at least you can't be made

redundant. However, make sure to complain regularly, otherwise everyone will be doing it.

So You're Having a Mid-life Crisis!Mike Haskins, Clive Whichelow

Have you taken a sudden liking to leather clothing three sizes too small? Are you considering a sexier upgrade to

your car or even your partner? Do your children flee in horror when they see you shaking your thang at the local

nightclub? If you've answered "Yes!" to any of the above, try not to panic. It's only the small matter of a mid-life

crisis. On the bright side, attempting to recapture your youth can be a lot of fun, and who said there's anything

wrong with growing old disgracefully?

WendyThe Bumper Book of Fun for Women of a Certain Age

Jenny Eclair, Judith Holder

What do you call a woman who's not old, and not young? Just right. The "Certain Age" is the Greatest Age, a

time to lay back and enjoy the comforts of a cardigan and slipper-filled existence, to pay due credit to the

nutritional values of pre-packaged food, and to lovingly daydream about replacing your man with a Daniel Craig

lookalike. But it's not all loose-fitting clothing and fake Hollywood boyfriends, there are the pitfalls and

heartaches too-determining the best fad diet, worrying about your husband's (and your own) expanding

waistline, or managing to dance at a wedding without forcing all the other guests to run away screaming. From

the writers and creators of Grumpy Old Women comes this beautifully illustrated, hilarious, and indispensable

guide for all women of a certain age. Readers will learn how to identify different types of thrush in your back

garden, how to make the perfect packed lunch, and the secrets of beauty on a budget-discover the wonders of

lard! The miraculous Cardboard Diet is also covered, along with Dealing with ECD (Excessive Cleaning Disorder),

the joys o...
