In 1999 a few old scholars (and some teachers) started to put together a regular magazine about The Liverpool Collegiate... More > School called DYING BREED. We did twelve editions; this is the ultimate collection of the ORIGINAL twelve issues plus a Christmas issue. All in colour. < Less

Imagine a world without war, religion, computers or reality television. Sounds idyllic? Nah, people would still moan and see... More > danger even where there is none. They will even imagine that there are aliens when there aren’t. Or are there?
No matter, there will always be Pellow & Krikdale to save us. Unless, of course, they can’t do their seven wonders set them by... whom, exactly? < Less

The annual Thorner photo feast of lovely Thorner views!

Fed up of those stupid motivational thoughts that tell us to do our best when all we want to do is go home and go to bed?... More > Aren't we all? The antidote to positive thinking, Bad Motivational Thoughts will help you get through 2009 and well into 2010 and beyond, unless some idiot pulls the plug on us all. Though that may be a blessed relief. A thought a day will keep those positive types away. < Less

For those of you with short attention spans, or maybe more to do than the author, a collection of short stories and "other... More > stuff" you couldn't really stretch out into a fully blown book but at least you can read whilst having a short bath (but not a shower). Hardly any mentions of Wogan, some Shakespearean stuff, three rude words (at least), football and an insight into the hectic life of a cat. Should be filed under humour but also has other bits in that aren't funny. If you like this description, you'll like this book. < Less

The age old prophesy said that the time would come when Killer Ducks would stride the world to wreak their terrible revenge... More > for reasosn unknown. That time is, allegedly, NOW! The human race is unprepared and is not ready to repell them, especially in certain parts of Yorkshire.
Once you have read this book, you will never view ducks in the same light again.

When The Ducks come, carnage and hilarity ensue!

The allegedly hilarious yet sometimes almost true story of how killer ducks terrorised a country and brought it to the brink of collapse and its collective knees.

A parable of our times. With funny bits, obviously.

"Douglas Adams meets The Marx Brothers" as one reader described it. "Canardage" as another said.

"It's very funny," as Terry Wogan previously of BBC Radio 2 said. < Less

A film script. “Trapped in a school one October night, twelve boys will soon find out that their nightmares are about to come true…”

In 1981 as a mere stripling youth, the author started to write to Radio 2's Terry Wogan, the second greatest living... More > Irishman. Since then, he has kept up a barrage of communication with the "great knight" and, as Old Tel has used the author's stuff in HIS books, this is a chance to get his own back and finally tell the truth about being a WUTW scriptwriter. So, in these pages you will find the true yet sometimes tedious story of the author's "relationship" with Terry Wogan, from 1981 through to his all conquering Wake Up To Wogan programme and beyond, with previously unpublished photographs, the true story of the TWITS, tales of the live TV programme, drunken lunches, emails and, as an extra added plus, the unbroadcasted Toggy Panto in full. A treat for the author, if nobody else, and a way into and out of the mind of somebody who regularly writes to the World's Second Greatest Living Irishman. < Less

A sitcom, set in a Training & Development department of a "modern" company. Nothing like The Office.
