Hanging Harry Light Pull The Hanging Harry Light Pull is the perfect accessory to bring some ‘light’ entertainment into your bathroom, bedroom, garage, kitchen – wherever! Poor old Harry wasn’t feeling too great about life and sadly decided to throw in the towel and hang himself with a piece of string (a ropey story). He’s certainly not ‘lightly’ to pull looking like this, so why not make use for his sullen body and droopy limbs by leaving him jangling every time you want to light up or darken down! About the Hanging Harry Light Pull The Hanging Harry Light Pull is a hilarious silicone rubber light pull that will add a dark and mysterious look to your bathroom, making you giggle every time you pull the switch on and off! The Hanging Harry Light Pull comes with string and is easily attached to your existing light fixture so you can start enjoying him straight away! The Hanging Harry Light Pull is a gorgeous aqua-blue colour The Hanging Harry Light Pull measures approximately 13.5 x 5 x 2.5 cm The Hanging Harry Light Pull is not a toy but is pretty damn funny! Having the worries of the world on his poor old shoulders, Harry simply could not carry any more woeful weight around. Harry obviously hadn’t met his Sally yet! The sad old thing took his life on a piece of string but on your light pull he’ll gladly swing! How many guest bedrooms or bathrooms have you been in that have been nice, but just not quite quirky or funny enough? Nice just won’t cut it sometimes – you need some humour in your life or you may end up with strife like stringed up Harry did! By purchasing the Hanging Harry Light Pull, you’ll be granted a guardian angel and he’ll look down from Harry heaven and know in his blue, blue soul that he’s found a good home. This one probably wouldn’t go down too well in a mental asylum, but for the sane amongst us, it’s a suicidal scream! (We are a gift company and not the Samaritans remember!) So buy one today and let Harry hang out in your house!

Diana Dors is a legend. Not only has she become embedded in the U.K. psyche but is very much alive in the U.K. imagination. Her fame has survived from the adored celebrity of the 50’s to the cult figure of today’s younger generation. Not surprising as she is arguably the biggest star the U.K. has produced. Not only has she appeared in 75 films, written four books, released an L.P. and had her own newspaper columns and television shows but her generosity, incredible bravery, lack of airs and graces, her warmth and compassion and her wit and intelligence have endeared her to millions.From the age of eight Diana Dors had a huge passionate dream. She was determined to become a wealthy, famous, film star. It was a dream that challenged the seemingly impossible being an ordinary looking child, coming from an ordinary family, living in an ordinary town. Yet, against the odds she made her dream come true. The story of how this happened is a fascinating one. “Connecting Dors” not only tells that story but explores the consequences of that celebrity/stardom not only on herself but on her son, Jason.It discusses the impact of “celebrity” on human dynamics, on family dynamics, especially on motherhood. It examines the pitfalls and rewards of being the child of a famous celebrity. Jason’s story is not only a continuation of the Diana Dors story but an integral part of that story that relies not only on Jason himself but on the people who were close to the Dors family, some of whom, celebrities in their own right I have been privileged to meet. “Connecting Dors” is both informative and entertaining. It recounts incidents and anecdotes from Diana Dors’ life – wild tales involving her friends – Hollywood stars, villains, rogues and rascals. It recounts tales which are poignant, hilarious, shocking and disturbing both from Diana’s life and from Jason’s star-studded life and beyond. It contains both humour and pathos. It explores the legacy of Diana Dors both national, social and personal. It is an important story which has never been told.

The authentic voice of British gangster fiction returns with a tour de force in this long-awaited sequel to Layer Cake, the bestselling debut by J.J. Connolly that ‘jump-started British crime fiction into the present’ (Uncut). More authentic in its language and scene-setting, smarter in its characterisation and plotting than anything that had previously gone by the name of gangster fiction, Layer Cake attracted a big cult following and became a Crime bestseller (it also became the most shop-lifted book in Britain). The Get Carter of the noughties, Layer Cake has also been made into a highly-praised film by Matthew Vaughn, starring Daniel Craig, Michael Gambon and Sienna Miller. Now J. J. Connolly is back with a sequel that sees him on the same stunning form, with his trademark razor-sharp dialogue and quick-fire violence, but also finding dark humour and pathos in the lives of violent men. From the many levels of the London underworld portrayed in Layer Cake, Viva la Madness moves to international crime with trans-Atlantic drug deals, money laundering and high-tech electronic fraud, portrayed with the same uncanny believability.The anonymous hero of Layer Cake is pulled back into the drug game before he can escape to a sunny retirement: in an authentic but dazzling combination of London low-life, Caribbean high-life and Venezuelan drug cartels toting machine-guns in Mayfair. The brilliance and the madness is back:’Viva la madness!’

This is the warm and enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of “Going Home”. Laura Foster was a hopeless romantic. It was her greatest character flaw for it was the one thing that genuinely got her into trouble! Her friends know it her parents know it – even Laura acknowledges she lives either with her head in the clouds or buried in a romantic novel. But what’s wrong with seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses even if it’s not delivered her a real-life dashing hero yet? But when Laura’s latest relationship ends in disaster rather than a glorious sunset she swears off men and particularly hopeless romantic fantasies for good. With her life in tatters around her she foolishly agrees to go on holiday with her parents and grandmother (combined age nearly 200!). After a few days of traipsing round Norfolk craft shops and National Trust properties Laura’s ready to tear her hair out. And then she meets prickly but sexy Nick estate manager at Chartley Hall one of the country’s greatest stately homes. She swiftly finds she shares more than just a sense of humour with him – in fact she starts to think she could fall for him. But is Nick all he seems?Or has Laura got it wrong again?

This sensational, extremely influential, 1974 low-budget horror movie directed by Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Lifeforce, Salem’s Lot), may be notorious for its title, but it’s also a damn fine piece of moviemaking. And it’s blood-curdling scary, too. Loosely based on the true crimes of Ed Gein (also a partial inspiration for Psycho), the original Jeffrey Dahmer, Texas Chainsaw Massacre follows a group of teenagers who pick up a hitchhiker and wind up in a backwoods horror chamber where they’re held captive, tortured, chopped up, and impaled on meat hooks by a demented cannibalistic family, including a character known as Leatherface who maniacally wields one helluva chainsaw. The movie’s powerful sense of dread is heightened by its grainy, semi-documentary style–but it also has a wicked sense of humour (and not that camp, self-referential variety that became so tiresome in subsequent horror films of the 70s, 80s and 90s). OK, in case you couldn’t tell, it’s “not for everyone”, but as a landmark in the development of the horror/slasher genre, it ranks with Psycho, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. –Jim Emerson

Wolverine, fan favourite of the X-Men universe in both comic books and film, gets his own movie vehicle with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a tale that reaches way, way back into the hairy mutant’s story. Somewhere in the wilds of northwest Canada in the early 1800s, two boys grow up amid violence: half-brothers with very special powers. Eventually they will become the near-indestructible warriors (and victims of a super-secret government program) known as Wolverine and Sabretooth, played respectively by Hugh Jackman (returning to his role) and Liev Schreiber (new to the scene). It helps enormously to have Schreiber, an actor of brawny skills, as the showiest villain; the guy can put genuine menace into a vocal inflection or a shift of the eyes. Danny Huston is the sinister government operative whose experiments keep pulling Wolverine back in, Lynn Collins is the woman who shares a peaceful Canadian co-existence with our hero when he tries to drop out of the program, and Ryan Reynolds adds needed humour, at least for a while.
The fast-paced early reels give an entertaining kick-off to the Wolverine saga, only to slow down when a proper plot must be put together–but isn’t that perpetually the problem with origin stories? And despite a cool setting, the grand finale is a little hemmed in by certain plot essentials that must be in place for the sequels, which may be why characters do nonsensical things. So, this one is fun while it lasts, if you’re not looking for a masterpiece, or an explanation for Wolverine’s facial grooming.
