  hooray for knickers: Who Stole Nan's Knickers? Carol P Townsend, 2010-05-16 The other day I ventured into the neglected and eerie vaults of my haunted chateau and came across this collection of anecdotes that I had scribbled down in an unaccustomed fit of feverish activity. They are all true, except maybe one, with which I have tinkered just a little.
  hooray for knickers: The Joy of Big Knickers Kate Garraway, 2017-03-09 TV presenter Kate Garraway has a lot on her mind. She's about to turn 50, which is fine (she thinks) but suddenly she seems to have MANY questions about EVERYTHING. Is she running out of time? Should she have had children earlier? How will she cope when they leave home? What on Earth is happening to her body? Should she be bungee jumping, skydiving... and all of those other bucket list type things? Is cosmetic surgery the norm now? What will happen to her sex life after the menopause? Is her pension big enough? Her parents cared for? The height of her career (gulp) over? And why, oh, why do her knickers keep getting bigger? In this revealing exploration of ageing, Kate tackles the biggest issues women in their supposed 'prime' face and searches for answers on their behalf, by drawing on her own experiences and those of others, consulting experts and challenging herself more than she's ever done so before. Written with all of the natural warmth and humour she's known for, it's a candid look at what it really means to be a modern older woman and why each and every one should be celebrated... big knickers and all!
  hooray for knickers: Hooray for the Next to Die Michael Millar, 2021-09-02 You get the insurgents you deserve. The United Kingdom lies in ruins, torn apart by fear, arrogance, and an inexhaustible supply of stupidity. England teeters on the brink of economic disaster, while behind a giant wall, Scotland labours under the tyrannical rule of the Marischal. The people cry out for a hero. Unfortunately, they’ve got James Macfarlane. The incidental tycoon and aspiring alcoholic is ill-equipped to launch a rebellion. But Mac —as he is warmly known to a dwindling number of people — has his reasons and he’s going to give it his best shot. As he races to keep one step ahead of a merciless police state, leaving chaos in his wake, he is accompanied by an unforgiving bootlegger, a shrewd siren, an eccentric aristocrat, a calamitous hacker, and one of Glasgow’s most violent sons. Can Mac save the country and himself from the wicked regime? It’s not looking good. ‘A great read. Lose yourself as Michael takes you on a thrilling adventure.’ – Tim Lovejoy, TV presenter ‘A fascinating, dark and witty look at a world gone wrong. A glorious read.’ – Lou Sanders, comedian ‘Bloody (and) brilliant. Prepare to be pulled into a world where dark comedy and high tension collide, driven by characters alive with hope and desire, greed and violence.’ – Phil Davies, playwrite and screenwriter ‘Taut writing and sharp-edged tension. Millar is like a darkly humorous Kafka.’ – Jack Hayes, author of When Eagles Burn

  hooray for knickers: Hooray for Holopticon - A Retro Science Fiction Comedy with Brave Heroes, Evil Villains, and Runaway Robots Carol Van Natta, 2009-04-25 A lighthearted adventure set in a future world not too different from our own. The paranoid Tax Authority, afraid of a wonderful new product developed by Holopticon (maker of holographic viewers), starts a bureaucratic war with the brave little company. With backup from the home office, three resourceful Holopticon employees beard the agency in its den. But despite exploding toilets, omnivorous ducks, bad computer poetry, and occasional appearances by a mythical ninja detective, most everyone manages to have a pretty good time. As Holopticon's (maddening) office computer might say it: They bite bureaucracy on the nose / And come out smelling like a rose. Think Jane Austen meets Ocean's Eleven meets Office Space. PG-13, with a tight, satisfying plot and some very funny scenes. ***** Written with a style reminiscent of Robert A. Heinleins Double Star (Hot Jets!), Hooray for Holopticon is a fun book. It is rich with humor and romp does describe it well. Who wouldn't want to get back at the tax system? — ME on Amazon. I always love a book that can make me laugh out loud and Holopticon did it multiple times. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy and enjoy the journey. — Ron Holleman, Amazon ***** Book Keywords: Science fiction, humor, action, adventure, retro, vintage, comedy, young adult, YA, government, anarchists, technology, romp, corporation, comedic, humorous, juvenile fiction
  hooray for knickers: Teeth In Sink, Knickers on Landing Zara Duvall, 2023-10-13 I hope you laugh a lot and maybe cry a little and even try to understand the workings of my bipolar mind in this, my one and only book. The pages of which I recall with love, laughter and tears, the wondrous people who have helped weave the tapestry of my strange, troubled life. If you are perplexed by the wacky title, you will find the answer with Ebony, a majestic black lady of the night, who was the dearest of friends. Turn the pages and there you will find a butt-naked butcher manacled to the grooming table in a poodle parlour! Turn yet again to meet Suki AKA Gladys, an old-time (much used) working girl screaming as she climbs off a corpse who was doing his thing just moments ago. And just why did Jean Jeanie have a frothy bottom? Intrigued? Well, just turn my pages and all will be revealed.

  hooray for knickers: Knickers in a Twist Jonathan Bernstein, 2006 Brits and Americans dress the same, eat at the same chain restaurants, pass music back and forth across the Atlantic, and our national leaders are practically conjoined twins. But the second the Brits open their mouths, all bets are off. So don't dream of visiting the UK, dating a Brit, or truly understanding what Jude Law is saying without this handy, hilarious, and informative guide to Britspeak. With the cheekiness of Austin Powers and the tidbit quotient of Schott's Miscellany, screenwriter Jonathan Bernstein's collection of Cockney rhyming slang, insults culled from British television shows of yore, and regional and high British favorites provides hours of educational, enlightening, even life saving hilarity. And if it doesn't accomplish that, at least you'll be aware that when a British citizen describes you as a wally, a herbert, a spanner, or a bampot, he's not showering you with compliments. Knickers in a Twist is as indispensable as a London city guide, as spot-on funny as an episode of The Office, and as edifying as Born to Kvetch and Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
