Book Description
Switch off the 21st century and take a step back to the 1980s. "Do They Know It's Christmas, Yet?" is a hilarious journey through love, loss, second chances and joyful hope. During a global pandemic, you'd be forgiven for thinking life couldn't become more complicated. Unless you are Tash and Jamie Summers. On Christmas Day 2020, an unfathomable - and entirely accidental - return to October 1984 causes significant collateral damage for these squabbling siblings, and they have conflicting obligations. Hers is to return to her baby son in 2020, his is to get 1984 back on track, because as it stands Bob Geldof won't form Band Aid or release the famine beating song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Which is kind of a big deal, because the song led to USA For Africa, and Live Aid, the most famous live music event of all time. And it's all their fault. It's a tricky one: try to return home to your baby, or feed a million others? "...such a bloody brilliant story!" "The brilliance of the dialogue shines through" "Deserves to be made for TV!" James Crookes has been writing comedy for TV and Radio for twenty years. He has contributed to shows on BBC One, CBBC and CBeebies, along with producing and co-presenting the Bauer Radio breakfast show, Big John @ Breakfast, since 2004.

Bully Glares at Anti-Bully
Author: David Knowles
Publisher: Arena books
ISBN: 1906791562
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This is a thought-provoking life-enhancing book addressed to ordinary men and women in the 21st century, that helps resolve a broad spectrum of moral dilemmas. Through the presentation of familiar dialogue, and a realistic yet poetic narrative, the author introduces a discussion of the greatest ethical issues of our age. His core thesis is explored through the Bully/Anti-Bully principle in reaching what may be found to be incontrovertible truths. There are philosophical problems that every one of us grapples with, e.g., abortion, injustice, euthanasia, infidelity, 'just' wars, blackmail, murder, theft, rape and torture. It is the problem of who started it, who reacted, who over-reacted, who was rich and had power and influence, who was poor and never had a chance. Surprisingly, or maybe not, at the heart of this there is only ONE philosophical issue. A concept so central to all our lives that it is far too important to leave only to academic philosophers, politicians, priests and pundits. In the words of the author, 'listen, come closer. I have only one story to tell, but it is the only story - all other stories are but gilded versions, permutations of a story as old as time, as old as our time upon this earth, the time of the humans. Older than the Koran, older than the Bible or the Talmud, older than the Tao Te Ching, the Pali Canon or the Upanishads, older than Abraham, Adam or Noah, this is the oldest human story ever told: the Story of Morality.' His concluding words raise one of the great questions of our time when he writes, 'It is the job of all Religions to bow their knees and doff their hats to Morality, not the other way round. One of the functions of Religion is to serve morality. It is never the function of Morality to serve Religion. Morality is the older partner.'
