Following the phenomenal success of Grumpy Old Men , and Grumpy Old Men on Holiday , the guru of grump, David Quantick, takes a stand for miserable slobs everywhere against the self-help motivational mafia and keep-fit claptrap. The ultimate in stress-relief for the 21st-Century Grouch. Are you an irritable, crabby, cantankerous, malcontented old grump? Well relax, because you're not alone. Do you feel that the best way to cleanse your aura is to have trains that run on time, rather than "detoxing" with soybean-curd and shots of wheat germ, and that banning novelty mobile phone ring-tones would balance your chakras better than a course of crystal and hot-stones healing? If it is an intolerance of other people, rather than glucose, that gives you irritable bowel syndrome, and a gin and tonic soothes your karma better than ginseng and tofu ever could, then this book is for you. Apathetic malcontents unite! It's time to roll up your yoga mats and use as draft excluders, line the cat's litter tray with your organic, macrobiotic muesli, put your feet up on your "abs-crunching" exercise ball and make only one Resolution for the New to be grumpier and more bloody miserable than ever.

From the Emmy Award-winning writer of Avenue 5, Veep and The Thick of It comes a funny, violent and thought-provoking horror story like nothing you've seen before.

"David Quantick is one of the best kept secrets in the world of writing. He's smart, funny and unique. You should let yourself in on the secret." - Neil Gaiman From Emmy-Award winning author David Quantick, Night Train is a science-fiction horror story like no other. A woman wakes up, frightened and alone. The room shaking and jumping like it's alive. The noise is terrifying. Where is she? Stumbling through a door, she realizes she is on a train carriage. A carriage full of the dead. A personal hell unfolding in an apocalyptic future. This is NIGHT TRAIN. A terrifying ride set on a driverless locomotive, heading for a collision somewhere in the endless night. How did the woman get here? Who is she? And who are the dead? As our heroine makes her way through the train trying to find out what happened to her, she meets a former strongman, a trained killer, and a collection of strange and terrifying creatures. Each step takes her closer to finding out the secret of the Night Train.

A distinctive, unusual, difficult, but spectacularly entertaining quiz book, by the inimitable David Quantick.

Beck Hansen’s relentless penchant for experimentation has led him to create music infused with rap, folk, blues, country, and dance sounds - an eclecticism that has earned him praise and criticism. “Loser”, from his first album, Mellow Gold, put him on the map and is the only independent record to ever reach the top 10 in the US. He became more popular with such unforgettable songs as “Where It’s At” and “The New Pollution”, from his second album, Odelay, and “Sexx Laws”, from Midnite Vultures, his most recent. Beck has bucked the slacker persona and any conformity to the mainstream, bringing something authentic to the table of American music. A chronology and complete discography is included.
