    These are the adventures of two safari guides in Africa. As best friends since their early days at school, each of them has developed a passion and an abiding love for the ways of Africa, its culture and its fauna and flora. The opportunity to pass on their knowledge and experience of their environment to others is for them, an added bonus.Their stories take us on a variety of individual journeys where for instance, Sam and his clients survive a terrifying lion charge; where we witness an extraordinary event involving a stricken zebra foal at a lonely waterhole. We read about Gabriel and the buffalo, and how the realities of life and death on the Savannah are brought dramatically home to one unfortunate traveller, and we experience the greed and cruelty of animal poaching.The wild waters of the "Mighty Zambezi" very nearly claim the life of one of our guides, whilst another finds himself trapped by an unfamiliar species. Finally, we read about what can go wrong on safaris, either through mistakes or sheer bad luck. Wherever they go and whatever adventures they have, Sam and Gabriel's primary goal is to enable travellers from many parts of the world, to be a part of a unique experience that will remain with them forever.

    "I was having a dispute with my wife-she pulled my hair causing me to turn into a lamp standard!" This is but one of the many excuses used by motor accident claimants. Many more of his favourites and quirkiest have been chosen by the author and included in the chapter "We Arnott Amused". From humble and often homeless beginnings the author succeeded in building one of the country's largest car insurance businesses and this, his second book, reveals his inside account of the Lloyds of London scandals, his own failings and of those involved in his business life, including his MD Brooks Mileson who went on to achieve fame-and notoriety-as Chairman of Gretna FC during their fairy-tale adventure into Europe. Many people dream of being their own boss. This book may encourage them to go for it-or maybe forget it. It contains some vital lessons, advice and pitfalls for the would-be entrepreneur and some stark reminders that it is not for the fainthearted. A sort o' sequel to the author's sort o' autobiography Social, Domestic and Pleasure, this is a fascinating account of "A People Business". "A wealth of material"-The Literary Consultancy.

    "Spice is the variety of life."-This is one of the book's many "Chrissarisms" and just about sums it up. The book brings together, in the words of The Literary Consultancy, "a wealth of material." Described as "a sort of autobiography", it is not just about a boy who, from humble beginnings, created one of the country's leading car insurance businesses. It is much, much more than that. In a series of mini biographies you will meet characters like Tramlines Taylor and some of the author's irresponsible drinking companions like Alan the Gallon and Patsy, an eclectic version of several of them. The author's confrontations with authority in "Gypsies" and "DA versus the FA & Others" are described in detail and his views on religion, democracy, political correctness, crime (especially paedophilia) and punishment are bound to raise a few eyebrows. The ups and downs of Lloyds of London, the 'We Arnott Insured' slogan and the people involved, including the Chairman of Gretna FC during their fairy tale journey into Europe, are featured in Volume II: Accidental Millionaire.

    What happens when all heaven breaks loose? The idyllic setting of a university town on the Mid-Wales coast. New arrivals from various parts of Britain, exhilarated and apprehensive at the prospect of grappling with the unfamiliar, in learning, ideas - and life. Four boys, extrovert, loner, poetry lover, aspiring intellectual. A malapropistic landlady. Three girls, one worldly, one demurely innocent, one full of adolescent ardour. A lecturer and would-be writer romantically inclined towards his students. And ever-present in all its moods, watching the human drama unfold, inspirer and tempter, lovely and sinister, the sea. The situation is ripe for a series of adventures, by turns comic, traumatic, poignant and, for one of the characters, ultimately tragic.
