Cheer Up, Mate!: Second World War Humour
Waterstones Product Information
Between 1939 and 1945 the world witnessed what is generally agreed to be the most horrific war in history. Millions died and millions more were physical or psychologically wounded by the conflict. Yet amidst the pain and devastation, people were not only able to survive, but also managed to maintain a sense of humour. For some, it was precisely this ability to laugh at their misfortunes (and those of the other side) that enabled them to solider on. This was especially true of the British, a nation whose reaction to more or less anything up to and including someone's house being bombed to rubble tended to be, 'never mind, have a cup of tea.' This 'Blitz Spirit' is perhaps best summed up by Mona Lott, one of the characters in Tommy Handley's radio show It's That Man Again (the show's title itself being a comical reference to Hitler): 'it's being so cheerful as keeps me going.'

The Mammoth Book Of Great British Humour - Mammoth Books
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £1.60 This is a doorstopper of a collection of the very best of both contemporary and classic British wit and humour. From Monty Python's 'Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more ...' to Dan Antopolski's 'Hedgehogs. Why can't they just share the hedge?'. From George Bernard Shaw to Michael Mc Intyre, from Eric Morecombe to Omid Djalili, and from Oscar Wilde to Jimmy Carr, this is a side-splitting look at Britain, the British and life in general. It includes these gems from Britain's finest comedians: 'I was delighted to learn that my friend's "schadenfreude" was not as satisfying as mine' - Armando Iannucci. 'I went on a girls' night out recently. The invitation said 'dress to kill'. I went as Rose West' - Zoe Lyons. 'For a while I was the perfect mother. Then the Pethidine wore off' - Jenny Eclair. 'My girlfriend was complaining last night that I never listen to her. Or something like that' - Jack Dee. This title also includes: 'Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings because it's hardly ever for them?' - Harry Hill. 'Arse-gravy of the very worst kind' - Stephen Fry on "The Da Vinci Code". 'You have to come up with this shit every year.Last week I just wrote 'I still love you, see last year's card for full details" - Michael Mc Intyre on Valentines Day. 'I went to the doctor and he said, 'You've got hypochondria'. I said, 'Not that as well" - Tim Vine. 'I have the body of an eighteen year old. I keep it in the fridge' - Spike Milligan. 'When someone close to you dies, move seats' - Peter Kay. 'My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden' - Eric Morecambe. 'My dad's dying wish was to have his family around him. I can't help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen' - Jimmy Carr. This title also contains: 'Eighty-two point six per cent of statistics are made up on the spot' - Vic Reeves. 'A bird in the hand invariably shits on your wrist' - Billy Connolly. 'Getting divorced isn't like a bereavement at all, because if he's died, I'd have had me mortgage paid, and I could've danced on his grave' - Sarah Millican. 'My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela: incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990, he's been out about 18 years now and he hasn't re-offended' - Ricky Gervais.'If you want to confuse a girl, buy her a pair of chocolate shoes' - Milton Jones. 'Phil Collins is losing his hearing, making him the luckiest man at a Phil Collins Concert' - Simon Amstell. 'We'll continue our investigation into the political beliefs of nudists. We've already noticed a definite swing to the left' - Ronnie Barker. 'A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts. The psychiatrist says, 'Well, I can clearly see your nuts' - Tommy Cooper.

What Goes Up Might Come Down! (High-Flying Humour Of David Gunson) (1982, Cat No. Bb Oo.12)
Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
David Gunson tales his work at Birmingham Airport seriously. He's been an Air Traffic Controller for approximately twelve years, and says he's determined to stick at it until he gets it right! he is also in great demand as an after-dinner speaker, and while describing the niceties of nosewheel steering, explains that 'The passengers are bound to notice if they go through a hangar on take-off'. David Gunson is a Yorkshireman to the core - and proud of it. He was born in Sheffield (where he insists the M1 is cobbled) and as young man went to work in a steel foundry, but soon discovered that the opportunities for flying were far too limited. He left, and joined the RAF, spending ten years with Coastal Command on Shackleton aircraft. He is thus well qualified tom take us behind the scenes in the world of flying, and with tongue very much in cheek, his 'talk' skillfully combines humour with hazard, raising many a laugh - and many an eyebrow. Records graded visually to RRPG grades (record/sleeve) EX/EX+.

Trust Me, I'm Dr Ozzy
Choices UK Product Information
By rights, Ozzy Osbourne should not be alive. He spent forty years on a hell-raising, bat-biting, ant-snorting*, drink and drug-fuelled bender. He broke his neck going two miles an hour on a quad bike and died twice in a chemically induced coma. And yet - at 62 years old - he is healthier and happier than ever. He is a walking medical miracle. So who better to offer the public medical advice and support? In May 2010 the Sunday Times invited 'Dr' Ozzy to be their new Agony Uncle. Since then he has answered questions ranging from dog depression to snoring to third nipples...and has also tackled more serious questions with his trademark humour and hard-won wisdom. The column has become such a phenomenon that Dr Ozzy has now decided to gather together all his advice into one handy guide. Ozzy's motto is that if he can survive and enjoy a happy and healthy life - then *anyone* can. And enjoy a very good laugh along the way. * Yes. You read that right. Ant-snorting.

Work! Consume! Die!: I Am Actually Almost Completely Insane Now
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £10.00 Brace yourself, Frankie's back, and he's more outspoken and brilliantly inappropriate than ever. There are fears that this Christmas could see the start of a double-dip recession, or worse still a double-dip-with-misery-sprinkles and f**k-where's-my-job?-sauce. Why not chuckle into the howling void as taloned fingers reach up to consume you with Frankie Boyle's new book, Work! Consume! Die! In Work! Consume! Die! stand-up comedy's favourite pessimist, Frankie Boyle, offers his outrageous, laugh-out-loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. He describes your reality as viewed through a bloodshot eye pressed against a shit-smeared telescope, focused on hell: * 'Charlie Sheen's life consists of going on huge drug benders with groups of porn stars. If he straightened himself out he could have a really mediocre career as a bit-part Hollywood actor. Playing the role of Martin Sheen's corpse. He's crazy like a fox! And also actually crazy. What a tragic waste, not being Charlie Sheen is. How majestic it will be for him to die, possibly quite soon, knowing that when they make a movie of his life, it will be a porno.' * 'The X Factor will be allowed to show product placements.That's powerful advertising. Last series I realised that looking at the judges alone had made me subconsciously buy a gnome, a scrag-end of mutton, a vacuous mannequin and a suspected gay.' * 'The Taliban are running out of bullets. Operation 'Get our troops to absorb them with their bodies' is finally paying off. The Taliban are finding it impossible to get hold of essential supplies -- at last we're fighting on equal terms. But let's not get complacent. Just because they're running out of bullets we mustn't assume our boys won't get shot. Remember, the US troops have still got plenty.' A no-holds-barred tour de force of comic writing, Work! Consume! Die! is Frankie Boyle at his brutal, taboo-busting best. This is nothing more or less than the clanging call to arms of a dying mechanical God.

Waterstones Product Information
John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Connie Booth and Andrew Sachs star in two BBC TV episodes, "Mrs Richards" and "Hotel Inspectors". Mrs Richards (Joan Richardson) is a little hard of hearing. She is also a very demanding guest: 'the room is cold, the bath is too small, the view is invisible and the radio doesn't work'. Things pick up for Basil, though, after he secretly wins on the horses, but then Mrs Richards discovers she's lost some money. In "Hotel Inspectors", Sybil drops a bombshell: there are some hotel inspectors in town. It's time for some courtesy, especially when the irritating Mr Hutchison (Bernard Cribbins) reveals he has a wide experience of hotels..."Vintage Beeb": classic albums first available as BBC LPs, now on CD for the first time ever. This recording was previously released on LP in 1979.

Thick Of It: The Missing Dosac Files
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £3.20 'It's the kind of f***-up that would normally have Malcolm Tucker, Number 10's Communications Director, the master of spin and the 'Matrix' spitting blood ...No, the guilty party in this instance is none other than Tucker himself. The man who likes to keep an iron grip on every news item in the media and every policy announcement that comes out of the government, has only gone and Left a confidential file on a train' - "The Do SAC Files". Based around the idea that King of Spin Malcolm Tucker has lost a confidential and highly-damaging file on a train, this book is a collection of highly sensitive documents: personnel files, policy drafts, letters and emails, transcripts of phone calls, election campaign documents and top secret papers on the government's media strategy for wars and recessions. There are also more personal documents such as the early drafts of Tucker's diary, in no legal condition for publication. It's explosive stuff, which could end careers on both sides, including Tucker's own...From the team behind the award-winning and phenomenally successful "The Thick Of It", and the Oscar-nominated "In The Loop", comes the official tie-in book, "The Do SAC Files".Written by the show's creator Armando Iannucci along with his co-writers Jesse Armstrong, Tony Roche, Simon Blackwell and swearing consultant Ian Martin, "The Do SAC Files" looks set to be the political satire event of the year.
