Download or read book Odd-Shaped Balls written by John Scally and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-03-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rugby is not a game for those who think that centres are what you find in a box of Black Magic or who confuse Jonah Lomu with Joanna Lumley. At the same time, it is not a game for the bright: what kind of tortured mind would invent an oval ball? Of course, it helps if you know the rules and don't have any fear. In this respect you are in the same boat as most referees, particularly if you have a problem with your eyesight. Odd-Shaped Balls captures the humour, the agony and the ecstasy of one of the world's most popular sports. It snoops inside sweaty, smelly dressing-rooms, reveals the passions of coaches and fans - without whom rugby would cease to exist - and delves deep into the sport's archives to recall its heroes, villains and victims, all of whom are part of the daily currency. The book is no less than a who's who of the game, with both old and young getting the opportunity to have their say. Lining out is a cast of mischief-makers, miscreants and mad-hatters: from Max Boyce to Keith Wood; from Sean Fitzpatrick to Austin Healy; from Bill Beaumont and his streaker to Gavin Hastings; from Gareth Edwards to David Campese; and from the man in the scrum to the man at the bar. All exponents of surrealism, comic genius and savage wit, they offer a quirky insight into the sporting psyche as well as providing some riotous good laughs. With hundreds of funny stories, Odd-Shaped Balls is a light-hearted romp through decades of rugby tomfoolery that is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of all sports fans.

Book excerpt: In 2009, on a quite irrelevant balcony in Gozo, Tom and Jodie threw together a plan inspired by Mark Beaumont, Bill Beaumont and some cheap Maltese wine. It involved ditching their lives, picking up two bikes and exploring rugby in 29 countries across the world, although the plan also involved going back to the corner shop for some more Maltese wine. It is thought to be the largest and most ambitious rugby-cycling journey ever to have been planned from that particular balcony.

Book Synopsis The Language of Jokes by : Delia Chiaro
Download or read book The Language of Jokes written by Delia Chiaro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly readable and thought-provoking book, Delia Chiaro explores the pragmatics of word play, using frameworks normally adopted in descriptive linguistics. Using examples from personally recorded conversations, she examines the structure of jokes, quips, riddles and asides. Chiaro explores degrees of conformity to and deviation from established conventions; the `tellability' of jokes, and the interpretative role of the listener; the creative use of puns, word play and discourse. The emphasis in her analysis is on sociocultural contexts for the production and reception of jokes, and she examines the extent to which jokes are both universal in their appeal, and specific to a particular culture.
