Set in Victorian England during the mid to late 1800's. A time of affluence due to the rise of the British Empire and with it a class divide epitomised by the political-social unrest in London's dark underworld the East End.

This dissertation proposes that the comedic performance triggers and utilises Jung's symbolic and archetypal theories. Stand-up comedy reflects the social and psychological change in our society towards class, and gender equality and re-distribution of wealth and re-structuring of social systems. Jungian theories are particularly pertinent to this study because they capture the psychological implications of transformation in both the inter- and intra- psyche of the individual and of society . Freudian and post-Freudian theories prove to be more appropriate for examining the details of the agencies activated within inter- and intra-psychic dynamic affecting the delivery of the comedians' material during the performance.
Jungian and post-Jungian theory examines the impact of social and mythological aspect of stand-up comedy on the comedian himself and society in general focussing on the Trickster archetype and Amfortas Wound. Stand-up comedy and in particular women as stand-up comedians become a litmus test for society's problems and issues and the rebalancing thereof. Archetypally the comedy club becomes a vas, a symbolic sacred transformational space where stand-up comedy has the potential to become a transformative process for both the comedian and the audience.
The stand up comedian's internal struggle is recreated into a personal comedic story, of the individual within the collective; Thanatos and Eros, personal versus social, responsibility versus irresponsibility, power, race, gender and hierarchy can be assessed. The audience reflects upon these comedic stories and by doing so whether the comedian is successful or unsuccessful the comedian also reflects upon it hence transformation occurs.
Not all comedians directly affect society, but those that do can make profound changes and on occasion can be prophetic foreseeing the changes that will occur in society or expose activities or people whose activities at that time are hidden. They intuitively perceive the problems of society and mirror issues with humour and often they are not successful comedians and may not be recognised in their lifetime as in the case of Bill Hicks.
It is clear that stand-up comedy is a unique phenomenon of a time of global social transformation how it affects the individual is dependent upon the individual. It is a process without boundaries and can be the most powerful artistic medium for change.
Oh I remember him ... follows the remarkable story of Mike Squeaky McClean. From his early years growing up in one of Manchester's roughest areas with Spanish & Irish parents and Dad regularly out of work, to presenting on two of TV's most iconic shows, THE BIG BREAKFAST and RICHARD & JUDY throughout the noughties. Rubbing shoulders (literally in the case of Britney Spears) with many of the biggest stars of the day, including Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and pulling off one of TV's funniest gags with Russell Crowe at the Oscars.
We learn how through sheer nerve, determination and wit, Mike overcome many disappointments, including being let go by Manchester City in his early teens and leaving school at 15 with only a CSE in metalwork. How the accidental discovery of Paul Daniels' Magic Book (the first whole book Mike read) would totally change the course of his life (now THAT'S magic ) and how his years of performing in talent shows (alongside Gary Barlow) and countless rough pubs, finally paid off.
Mike also reveals what it was really like, working week in week out with Britain's best loved TV married couple and how pinching a bowl of jelly sweets, led to working with Ricky Gervais in THE OFFICE Christmas Special.
Oh I remember him... is an enthralling, funny, heart-warming and self-deprecating read.

All of us our subject to the power of influencing. For example, through the media, following and joining trends or perhaps being pressured by friends and family. Equally, there lies within us the potential to influence others and this can be a powerful aspect of behavioural competence in our skills toolbox.
Influence can be wielded on a larger scale and might be seen as spread across nations through propaganda and fear. On the other hand, when influence takes place between two people it might be experienced in a coercive relationship or in a gentler form in situations where one-person cares for another. Influencing is a key skill relevant across many occupations from customer facing roles to positions of line management and leadership and when carried out by example and with integrity influencing and effective communications skills can create strong bonds and seamlessly achieve results.
With these points in mind this handbook can be read as a birds-eye view or used as a practical resource with the contents applied in more intimate, every day or business settings. Published in an easy to use format which includes highlights, useful quotations and case studies the book is divided into distinct sections which ease you through key areas with the aim to:
Generations of Blackwells have farmed this land, but its isolation has protected it from the political unrest suffered by much of England at this time. Fred Blackwell is a hard-working, hard-drinking man who rules his family with belt and fist. Even after his death, the family must endure many ordeals before finally accepting that the farm is ill-fated. They decide to leave and make a new life in the colonies.
Young Thomas, however, has Blackwell blood running through his veins and returns to Cromwell's England to pursue his desire to own Blackwell farm once more; a desire which becomes an obsession that rules his life.
The story of the world's first superhero. As a writer and reporter, Benji Wilson wants to make this dramatic tale as authentic and immersive as possible; throughout the book, he includes original Whatsapps, emails and articles as well as transcripts of interviews and phone calls with the key people. As he investigates the origins of Subject Six and explores the reaction to his arrival, Wilson, through a weaving together of pop science and pop theology, unfolds a thriller narrative and gets sucked into the battle for Subject Six and his powers.
Subject Six was born Enosh Blake, a tech billionaire who at 32 was diagnosed with cancer. Before the illness took hold, he chose to have himself cryogenically frozen and sent into orbit to keep safe from natural disaster or human conflict until he could be cured. Two years later, Enosh's Cryopod crash lands into the English Channel and he emerges on the shore a changed being - he doesn't breathe or bleed, he doesn't feel pain and he can heal himself.
What happens next is a fight for belief, survival and understanding mixed with betrayal and loss.
Transference is the story of PODD, a government created terminal disease, formed to manipulate the population in a monetary driven attempt at social cleansing. Lauren and Sonya, best friends and neighbours, are plunged into the most brutal and unjustified conspiracy the world has ever witnessed - the killing of innocent children.
As the disease affects only the most affluent children, the poorest of the world accepts compensation payments of 1,000,000 to allow the disease to be transferred into - and ultimately kill - their children. As Lauren and Sonya fight their way to survive and expose the truth behind Transference, they unearth horrors and betrayals that even nightmares would shy away from.

Increasing your ability to survive and thrive
On 18 March 1999, Phil Olley woke up on a pavement, surrounded by paramedics.
He had died. And been brought back to life.
He remembers having the full white-tunnel experience.
This book is the connection between that experience and the work he has done ever since; working with people to improve their level of success in business, in their careers, and in every aspect of their life.
The book is designed for those who
- want to change the way they are living and the results they are getting.
- believe there's got to be a better way of living than what they are currently doing.
- are aware there's an untapped potential they want to uncover in their own lives.
- are imaginative, creative, intelligent enough to realise that growth is essential, change is essential, and that it's no good settling for a life way below that which you are truly capable of.
It's also for those who are fascinated by the near-death experience and who want to draw lessons and insights from such events, in the search to understand their significance and make sense of life.
