Описание: Desperate to avoid `bubble-dancing`, join the `dromestoners` or eat a nice `tiddly oggy`? You would be a `sad apple` to call it a dictionary, it is more a light-hearted survey of expressions prevalent in the Army, Navy and R.A.F.

Описание: Card-playing corpses, unfaithful husbands and `flying` ladies - life as an ambulance driver in the 1970s was certainly varied. At the age of twenty-three, Les Pringle decided to escape from office life, broaden his horizons and become an ambulance driver. Little did he realize how broad those horizons would turn out to be.

Описание:

Man considers himself to be the dominant species on planet Earth. He shouldn't be. In the Darwinian sense, humans are ill suited for life on this world. As creatures, man is not overly large, strong, fast, or well insulated from environmental changes in weather changes. A Sasquatch, or Bigfoot as they are commonly referred to, is. They are said to have size, strength, speed and agility as well as a nice fur coat. They would be, if they existed, the top of the food chain. Ah, you say, but humans have intelligence, we are conscious of ourselves and everything else. Just how intelligent are we?

What if, in the distant past Sasquatch was the dominant species, and developed intelligence? What if their intelligence led to technology? What if they had fifty million years to develop it, maybe two hundred million years, maybe longer?

There are theories that we humans were placed on this planet to do some sort of penance. After observing how the human race behaves, maybe we were. Perhaps you may be interested in taking a run Down Tubbs Lane and finding out.
