The Grumpy Old Man is, in a sense, a very real person. There comes a point in time when one gets tired of hearing people going off half cock about issues they didnt take the time to research nor put any intelligent thought into them. What the Grumpy Old Man is about is conveying a sensible point of view about the local, national, and world issues that mostly everyone seems so concerned about. In a sense, it is a common-sense look at history and why the world is the way it is and what it would take to change it for the better.

Never mind about ruling the world, although you could, no doubt, do it better than the idiots in charge. Who cares about being youthful, athletic or handsome when you've been there, done that and got the scars to prove it? Joking apart, there are plenty of ways to make your life much happier as you get older and that's what this little book is really all about. It's a mixture of humour and advice, written by a very contented 83-year-old who knows what he's talking about. After deciding to make happiness your top priority, learn how to attain and keep it, with brief lessons ranging from not taking yourself - or anyone else - seriously, and the need for a HOW (happy old woman) to neighbours - like them if it kills them - and enemies (how not to have any). Remember that hurrying is for the young! So, sit back, relax and enjoy life.

To everything there is a season. A time to be born, a time to die ... and a time to have a bloody good moan. Following the huge success of Grumpy Old Men, Stuart Prebble, writer of the highly acclaimed TV series, gives us a more in-depth look at what it's really like to be a pissed-off man of a certain age. In painstaking detail, he takes us through a year in the constantly irritated life of a Grumpy Old Man, recounting the manifold vexations and absurdities he has to put up with in the perpetual torment that we call modern living. Drinks parties, holidays, hospital visits, his children's misdemeanours, buying presents for the wife, watching television, attempts to visit the gym, trips to the shops, the trials and tribulations of everyday life - each event has something to tip him over the edge. Stuart's diary proves that grumpiness is not just an occasional mood or a temporary feeling, but a way of looking at the world, and will strike a chord with all those who are proud to call themselves Grumpy Old Men.

THE MEMORY BANK A collection of short stories drawn from the Memory Bank of Jack Orth, born in 1931. Unlike the financial institutions we're all familiar with, the Memory Bank is open 24/7. Even when you're sound asleep you can make a withdrawal in the form of a dream. There are no minimum balances required. The interest rate never takes a hit, and it always remains at a high level. As a matter of fact, the older you get, the more valuable your deposits become as you can rely on them to bring a smile to your heart and a tear of happiness to your eyes. It's also a bank where you can make a withdrawal, but it's only a carbon copy. Years later the original is still in your account for future reference! You'll surely relate to some of the withdrawals in this book, and maybe head to your own Memory Bank to verify the fact that your memories are still there! Enjoy the time you spend in Jack's Memory Bank...and in your own.

Who can think of meaning at a time like this?’ With those opening lines, you’ve got a conversation! Thanks to the book, we seem to drink of the same riverbed!” (Jaime V., Saipan). 2. “What a subtle sense of humor about serious subjects. I enjoy immensely” (Cathy, yoga friend). 3. “Reading your Absolution poetry each evening at supper. Love them” (Marion and Carl M., Detroit). 4. “Your book graced my mailbox—much to my delight! I especially jumped to the last Journey to the East and Interpreting Paul. You’ve captured the flavor of spirit in out times. Thank you so much” (Bill S., Topeka). 5. “Among my favorites so far are ‘Zen Buddhism,’ ‘The One Constant,’ and ‘Trump-eting.’ Love your humor. The last line in the book says it . . . ‘So there you have it’” (Barbara B. Santee, California).

How modern motoring drives Grumpies to distraction We've said that Christmas is the worst thing; we've said that working for idiots is the worst thing; we've said that holidays are the worst thing. But driving is the worst thing of all. It brings together so many of the multitude of individual elements which combine to make Grumpy Old Men and Grumpy Old Women grumpy. It's got queuing - at petrol stations, on side roads, on A roads, on motorways, at car parks and even at the 'drive through'. Very few things make Grumpies more grumpy than queuing. It's got being ripped off - when you buy a car, when you have it serviced, when you buy anything for it, when anything goes wrong, when you put petrol in it, when you wash it, when you park it, when it gets towed away and when some arsehole you've never met bumps into it. It's got being pissed about - when you want to book it in for a service, and when you get to tax it, insure it and get the MOT for it, and again when you want to sell it. And last but not least, it's got the most essential ingredient of grumpiness. Driving is a triumph of disappointment over expectation. When we were kids we thought driving would be the ultimate freedom and all it has turned out to be is a total pain in the tushkin. And that is not even mentioning Top sodding Gear...
