Back on the farm, the pigs are restless, and pissed. Smoking, pork-eating, overweight and without any s**t to roll in, these pigs aren't your cuddly, oinking kind of farmyard brother.

Blokes, Jokes and Sheds : New Zealand's funniest shed cartoons order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Chris Slane
In Stock: 4
The shed is a place where men can find sanctuary from the demands of everyday life, and is one of the last remaining untouched bastions of maleness. With Blokes, Jokes & Sheds, Chris Slane takes an affectionate and humorous look at this enduring icon of blokedom. Featuring sheds and their owner-occupiers, Blokes, Jokes & Sheds goes some way to uncovering the mysteries of what sheds mean to men. There are sheds for tinkering, sheds for escape, sheds as a second home, sheds for socialising, and inventive sheds. There is a shed for every man and every shed is a castle. The book is loosely based on the topics of Shed Sweet Home, Favourite Projects, Shed Widows, DIY Disasters and Tool Talk. Interspersed among the cartoons are Shed Factoids, What Type of Sheddie Are You? and a DIY-agony column.

DoP - August 2009, Auckland
105x153mm / 96pp
Softcover

A collection of simple fingerprint cartoons with short, sharp captions that will have you in stitches! Crushed to discover at the tender age of seven that he didn't have an aptitude for drawing, Peter Vegas decided to pour his heart and soul into perfecting the art of the humble stick figure. The result was an original, quirky and extremely funny stick-figure cartoon collection that went on to become three bestselling books. Now bored with the stick figure, Peter has moved on to a slightly healthier body shape: the fingerprint-man - which has provided endless fuel for Peter's unique brand of humour. Printmen is a little bit of quirky fun that is guaranteed to rouse laughs galore. Featuring just short of 100 clever drawings with ingenious pithy captions.

Driven To Distraction order quantity

NZ$ 38.00 each
Paperback
Author: Jeremy Clarkson
In Stock: 3
Brace yourself, Clarkson's back. And he'd like to tell you what he thinks about some of the most awe-inspiring, earth-shatteringly fast and jaw-droppingly gorgeous cars in the world (alongside a few irredeemable disasters ...).
Or he would, if there weren't so many things competing for his attention first. So much to get off his chest.
The world according to Clarkson is a perplexing place, filled with thorny subjects like: The prospect of having Terry Wogan as president; Why you'll never see a woman driving a Lexus; The unforeseen consequences of inadequate birth control; Why everyone should spend a weekend with a digger.

Fearless, independent, surprising and laugh-out-loud funny, Driven to Distraction is full-throttle Clarkson at his best; a unique look at the joys, absurdities and frustrations of modern life. With wheels. Buckle up, get comfortable, and hold on tight. There's no one who writes about cars like Jeremy ... more

Now We Are Sixty order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each
Hardback
Author: Christopher Matthew (decorations by David Eccles)
In Stock: 3
When Christopher Matthews was six, the poems of Milne always reassured him that other children were as foolish and naughty as he was, so on reaching sixty he decided that he should adapt NOW WE ARE SIX for an older audience. NOW WE ARE SIXTY is often hilarious, sometimes rueful and always thought-provoking. Some verses are about realising that we are not as young as we thought, whilst some about the more disconcerting problems of modern life; mobile telephones on trains, anti-social behaviour, traffic jams and the internet. Dame Dorothy Tutin, Martin Jarvis, Derek Waring, Geoffrey Palmer and Robert Dawes will bring voice to familiar rhythms and rhyme schemes of the master. Together they will create an audio performance to brilliantly celebrate Christopher Matthew’s reinvention of Milne’s curious mixture of comedy and wistfulness, sharp observation and daft whimsy.

First published 1999.

What Would Keith Richards Do? Daily Affirmations from a Rock 'n' Roll Survivor order quantity

NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Jessica Pallington West
In Stock: 2
What is a wiseman? What is a prophet? Someone with a strange, unflappable demeanor. Someone who speaks in cryptic koans, words whose meanings take years to unravel. Someone who has confronted death, God, sin, and the immortal soul. Someone unfit for this world, but too brilliant to depart it. Someone - in short - like Keith Richards. Here, at last, the wisdom of this indefatigable man is recorded and set forth. These are his visionary words: 'I would rather be a legend than a dead legend.' Or 'Whatever side I take, I know well that I will be blamed.' And - indeed - 'I've never had a problem with drugs, only with policemen.' Not merely a compendium of wisdom, this book is also a complete guide to the inner workings of a complex and inspired belief system, and the life of a man sanctified by fame. What Would Keith Richards Do? reminds us to learn from our mistakes, let our instincts lead us, and above all, do what Keith has done ... more

11, 002 Things to be Miserable About order quantity

NZ$ 26.00 each
Paperback
Author: Lia Romeo
In Stock: 1
There's a warm and fuzzy little book entitled "14,000 Things to Be Happy About" which has sold over a million copies. It's basically a long list of things to brighten your day like snuggly kittens and flaky pie crust. That's great, but what about a satirical companion volume for the not-so-optimistic set? Here it is. "11,002 Things to Be Miserable About" is a list of all the reasons not to wake up in the morning. Ironically enough, when you put all of them under one cover, it's actually very funny. This decidedly absurd stream of consciousness is perfect for sardonic and disaffected youth, for people seeking gifts for Traumatic Event Birthdays (like 21, 25, 30, 40, and, well, anything after 40) and for anyone else with an offbeat sense of humour. Enjoy.

DoP 2009 NZ
Harley Jenkins was born in the Darfield hospital in the spring of 1930 and has remained in the area ever since. After leaving school in 1944 he worked on his father's farm at Kimberley and, on a casual basis, for other farmers in the district. His foray into farming on his own account came in 1954 with the purchase of three pedigree Angus heifers. A year later he was to purchase "Floridale" only a kilometre or so from where he was raised as a child and from those extremely modest beginnings so began a lifetime of dedication to the fickle business of running a commercial Angus cattle stud.

Harley's expertise with livestock has seen him make a considerable mark within the stud Angus world. Aside from his ability as an astute judge of cattle he has been blessed with a quick wit and a lively sense of humour. This story notonly tells of his farming achievements but also dwells on the lighter moments of life and some of the ... more
