George Burns - 100 Years 100 Stories **********It's not hard to see why George Burns is considered one of the greatest comedians in American history. In 100 Years, 100 Stories fans can get a glimpse of Burns's past in vaudeville, radio, film and the dawning age of television. This audiobook has laugh-out-loud storytelling expertly performed by John Byner. His impressions of Burns's cast of characters (such as W.C. Fields, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Groucho Marx) add tremendous flavor to Burns's already hysterical yarns. Also deeply touching are Milton Berle's musings about the comedian. The entire package is a grand testimony to the joy of humor that George Burns thrived on throughout his century of life. 7th Dimension - Blue Lenses 1.2 7th Dimension - Blue Lenses 2.2 7th Dimension - Schalken the Painter 1.2 7th Dimension - Schalken the Painter 2.2 A Bit Of A Do 01.12 by David Nobbs A Bit Of A Do 02.12 A Bit Of A Do 03.12 A Bit Of A Do 04.12 A Bit Of A Do 05.12 A Bit Of A Do 06.12 A Bit Of A Do 07.12 A Bit Of A Do 08.12 A Bit Of A Do 09.12 A Bit Of A Do 10.12 A Bit Of A Do 11.12 A Bit Of A Do 12.12 ******Paul and Jenny's white weddding is well attended by a milling throng of family and friends, all of who like "a bit of a do".

A little distant, perhaps, a little cautious, not quite at ease with the emotional demands of fatherhood or of manly bonhomie. “The secret of contentment, George felt, lay in ignoring many things completely.” Some things in life can't be ignored, however: his tempestuous daughter Katie's deeply inappropriate boyfriend Ray, for instance, or the sudden appearance of a red circular rash on his hip. At 57, George is settling down to a comfortable retirement, building a shed in his garden and enjoying the freedom to be alone when he wants. But then he runs into a spot of bother. That red circular rash on his hip: George convinces himself it's skin cancer. And the deeply inappropriate Ray? Katie announces he will become her second husband. The planning for these frowned-upon nuptials proves a great inconvenience to George's wife, Jean, who is carrying on a late-life affair with her husband's ex-colleague. The Halls do not approve of Ray, for vague reasons summed up by their son Jamie's observation that Ray has “strangler's hands.” Jamie himself has his own problems — his tidy and pleasant life comes apart when he fails to invite his lover, Tony, to Katie's wedding. And Katie, a woman whose ferocious temper once led to the maiming of a carjacker, can't decide if she loves Ray, or loves the wonderful way he has with her son Jacob. Unnoticed in the uproar, George quietly begins to go mad. The way these damaged people fall apart — and come together — as a family is the true subject of Haddon's hilarious and disturbing portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely. A Spot of Bother is Mark Haddon's unforgettable follow-up to the internationally beloved bestseller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Once again, Haddon proves a master of a story at once hilarious, poignant, dark, and profoundly human. Here the madness — literally — of family life proves rich comic fodder for Haddon's crackling prose and bittersweet insights into misdirected love.

Kellaway's keen observations on the way in which affairs move from state to state are a sort of masterclass in office love, bringing to life both the excitement of illicit romance and the ridiculousness of business behavior and language with a sharp sense of humor. IN OFFICE HOURS is intelligent, funny, moving and agonizing, but it's also so painfully reconizable to any woman who has ever worked in an office or ever been in love. Kellaway hits a real nerve with her depictions of how people come to get into the emotional messes that we do and then how very difficult it is to get out again.

Delving deep into the psyche of her fascinating, manipulative patient, Gabrielle is confronted by alarming coincidences between the girl's paranoid disaster fantasies and actual incidents of geological and meteorological upheaval. Coincidences her professionalism tells her to ignore - but which her heart cannot. As Bethany's warnings continue to prove accurate beyond fluke, and she begins to offer scientifically precise hints of a final, world-altering cataclysm, Gabrielle is confronted with a series of devastating choices. Only to discover that in a world on the brink of apocalypse, belief is as precious - and as dangerous - as life itself..
