Getting Away With It (Updated Edition)
The story of loaded is one of the most remarkable in British publishing history. When it launched in 1994 the men's magazine market was full of snooty and condescending fashion journals. Irreverent, adventurous and above all funny, loaded hit the newsstands like a publishing hurricane. Things would never be the same again. Tim Southwell and his motley colleagues soon found themselves having the time of their lives. They wrote about whatever they wanted - a heady cocktail of football, going on holiday, girls, getting drunk - a shameless 24 hour celebration of life. By the fifth issue loaded circulation hit the 100,000 mark, making them market leaders. The team were as surprised as everyone else - you could have the best fun ever and be successful! In an intelligent and incisive book, now updated with new material, Tim Southwell traces an incredible story. From the early days of playing golf in the office and fantasising about how great it would be if they really had their own magazine, to the night they won magazine of the year, and finally to the question of whether the dream could last forever...
Yes Lad, But Byways
When a promoter of nudism, in a newspaper interview, “pulled out a pipe and tobacco,” It was Tim who asked “Where from?” Reading that more babies are born in countries which protect storks, Tim has an ingenious theory. It is the small incidental, personal things and odd ideas which we are most likely to recall fondly in our dotage. This is a lifelong 92-year autobiography, full of light-hearted glances back, and the book’s title is a gentle swipe at Housman and his “blue remembered hills.” Every highway has its network of intriguing byways. Tim’s natural wit radiates from the pages of this insightful memoir. Considering the byways of life and delighting in their anomalies is something we all should do more often.
How to be Nowhere
Life is finally on the right track for reporter and recovering addict Andrew: he is slowly coming to terms with the murder of his photographer boyfriend Carlos, pursuing sobriety and building a new home with a new partner. Andrew has almost forgotten about the story that ruined his life - but that story hasn't forgotten about him, and a series of deadly threats forces him into helping the very man whose gang murdered his boyfriend and left him homeless. A literary take on the classic chase movie, HOW TO BE NOWHERE is the sequel to Tim MacGabhann's genre-busting and critically-acclaimed debut CALL HIM MINE, and a blistering thrill-ride deep into the fog of Central America's murky present and tragic future.
Shameful Behaviors
"What do Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Richard Gere, untalented American Idol singers, former FBI agent Robert Hanssen, former baseball player Jose Conseco, "dead-beat" fathers, and drunken college students all have in common? They have all engaged in some type of shameful behavior." "Seemingly, an increasing number of people are acting rudely, displaying poor etiquette, and acting shamelessly in an increasing number of social situations. In fact, it appears as though there is a rising culture of shamelessness in the United States. Shameful Behaviors presents a unique look at American culture based on the premise that not only is there a rising culture of shamelessness, there is also a corresponding rise in formal and informal resistance against this trend." "Author Tim Delaney provides the reader with an informative and entertaining analysis of contemporary American culture."--BOOK JACKET.
How To Break Bad News
Dumped by his activist girlfriend when he won’t commit to her brand of idealism, reporter Scott Thomas sets out to prove his own dedication to do-gooding. He goes undercover at a fast-food Mexican restaurant where he hopes to lay blame for workplace abuses on the chain’s owner, the next secretary of labor. But instead of revealing corporate wrongdoing, Scott’s hidden camera captures his own ineptitude – and his confused flirtation with Maria, a single mom who works the counter. Not sure if he’s out to do good or just impress, Scott vows to save Maria from their boss’s sexual harassment. But Maria may not be the one who needs saving. Darkly funny and deeply entertaining, How to Break Bad News looks at a man trying to change the world without changing himself.
