Eigentlich hatte ich meinen Alltag zufriedenstellend eingerichtet und organisiert. Es waren vor allem die Kleinigkeiten, die einem im Normalfall kaum bewusst wurden, zum Beispiel nicht ber etwas zu stolpern, wenn ich durch die Wohnung ging, oder ungest rt mal die Nachrichten im Fernsehen zu sehen, keiner, der mir in die Hacken sprang und st ndig meckerte, wann es was zu fressen gab.Morgens hatte der Wecker durchaus noch seine Existenzberechtigung, nachts konnte ich ungest rt durchschlafen und vor allem: mein Bett hatte ich f r mich ganz alleine.Die Zimmerpflanzen gediehen pr chtig, keine Tapeten wurden zerkratzt und der Gang in die K che war m glich ohne die Verfolgung eines wahnsinnig Wahnsinnigen.Selbst morgens konnte ich hilflos vor der offenen Kleiderschrankt r stehen, ohne dass vier Pfoten im Schrank verschwanden und dort so lange blieben, bis der schwarze Lieblingspullover bers t war mit Katzenhaaren und der Kater somit die Entscheidung ber die Tageskleidung f llte, da das Entfernen der Haare zu lange dauern w rde.Auch die Frage, ob Katzen Socken fressen, weil nach dem Durchsuchen der Waschmaschine nur ein Exemplar wieder aufgetaucht war, konnte fakultativ entschieden werden.Am PC vermochte ich alleine zu arbeiteten, brauchte keinen zimtfarbenen Kater, der die eBay-Auktionen berwachte, und auch der Drucker konnte unverletzt seine Arbeit verrichten. Und vor allem war ich der Boss im Haushalt.Dieses und vieles mehr nderte sich schlagartig, als das Samtpf tchen bei mir einzog. Ein vierj hriger Streuner, der es leid war, sich von stinkenden Kanalratten zu ern hren, es lieber vorzog, sein Maul mit Whiskas, Felix oder Sheba vollzustopfen und regelm ig f r Aufregung zu sorgen.Es ist wie der Gang zum Arzt um sich Blut abnehmen zu lassen. Man setzt sich noch f r einen kurzen Augenblick ins berf llte Wartezimmer und da man nicht zum Arzt braucht, weil die Arzthelferinnen einem das Blut abzapfen, wird man eigentlich schnell aufgerufen. Dann beim Aufstehen schaut m
Dette er romanen om guttene fra Groruddalen i Oslo, som glemte å lære å vinne, men isteden lærte å tape med stil.Tommy kommer hjem etter ti år i utlandet for å undersøke omstendighetene rundt vennen Rogers død, og møter en vegg av ufordøyd fortid som gjør ham forvirret. Hva har skjedd med kameratene som sto linjet opp på fotografiet fra første skoledag - hvordan og hvorfor har to av dem rotet seg opp i alvorlige forbrytelser?Med Tommy, som også er en spenningsroman, viser Roy Jacobsen seg som en klok og sanselig iakttager av mennesker og miljø. I kynisk-ømme tilbakeblikk skildrer han kameratene fra drabantbyen - med en egen sjargong, humor og filosofi på det å overleve.
”Jag har ett problem! Min förläggare, Abbe Bonnier, sa vid ett möte ’Tommy, en sak borde du kanske veta – självkritiska böcker säljer mer.’ ’Jaha. Vad fan gör jag då?’ Det här är väl heller inte särskilt självkritiskt kanske, men jag har ofta frågat mig: Hur har alla dessa tusentals människor orkat vänta så här länge, på att boken om mitt fantastiska liv äntligen ska ges ut? Sådant är svårt att svara på, men kära läsare, det är likafullt beundransvärt att ni orkat! Och nu kommer den, bokjäveln. Hi! Hi! Hi!”
Here is the full show-biz story of the comedy double-act, Cannon & Ball, which tells of the ups and downs of their career and the changes in their lives when they both became Christians. Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball broke all records for capacity audiences at the London Palladium and the longest running show in Blackpool. They are still doing summer seasons and pantomime seasons each year as well as their gospel shows. In this book they tell their own story. Tommy and Bobby met in 1964 when they were both very young and working in a factory. It was to be the start of a lifelong friendship and a double act that would soon turn professional. The famous duo chart their careers; the laughter and pain along the way; the changes that conversion to Christian faith brought for both of them. And it is all told in their honest, blunt, down-to-earth style.
The definitive account of golf’s founding father and son, Old and Young Tom Morris. For the first time, the two are portrayed as men of flesh and blood – heroic but also ambitious, loving but sometimes confused and angry. Two men from one household, with ambitions that made them devoted partners as well as ardent foes. Tommy's Honour is a compelling story of the two Tom Morrises, father and son, both supremely talented golfers but utterly different, constituting a record-breaking golfing dynasty that has never been known before or since. Father, Old Tom Morris, grew up a stone's throw away from golf's ancestral home at St Andrews, a whisky-fuelled caddie, a wonderful 19th century character who became an Open Champion three times before running the Royal & Ancient, then sole governing body of the game. His son, Young Tom, arguably an even more prodigious talent than his father, was a golfing genius, the Tiger Woods of his era, who at 17 became the youngest player, to this day, to win the Open Championship. He then went on to win it four times in a row, an unprecedented achievement. On one occasion, father and son fought it out at the last hole of the Championship before the son finally triumphed. But then came the pivotal day that would change their lives forever, the death of Young Tom’s wife and unborn child. The cataclysmic events of that day eventually lead to Young Tom’s tragic death, aged 24, with his father living on for another 20 years in deep remorse. So on the one hand, you have the story of one of the most influential figures in the history of golf, a pioneer in the birth of the modern game and of Scottish and Open Championship golf. And on the other hand – you have an extraordinary father-and-son story. It’s for every son who ever competed with his father, and every father who has guided his son towards manhood, then found it hard to let go.
Tommy is twenty-nine, lives and loves in London, and has a morbid fear of the c word (commitment), the b word (boyfriend), and the f word (forgetting to call his drug dealer before the weekend). But when he begins to feel the urge to become a father, he starts to wonder if his chosen lifestyle can ever make him happy. Faced with the choice of maintaining his hedonistic, drugged-out, and admittedly fabulous existence or chucking it all in favor of a far more sensitive, fulfilling--and let's face it--sober lifestyle, Tommy finds himself in a true quandary. Through a series of adventures and misadventures that lead him from London nightspots to New York bedrooms and back, our boy Tommy manages to answer some of life's most pressing questions--and even some he never thought to ask.
