lo he pasado bien, Me he reido bastante con este libro, Quizas en ciertas ocasiones, mejor dicho, en ciertos capítulos el autor se ha alargado un poco mas de la cuenta o ha puesto capitulos completamente innecesarios e aburridos.
No obstante han habido capítulos benísimos!
Concluyo diciendo que es un libro para leer en los viajes.
Solo proporciona entretenimiento y algo que decir a tus amigos, Si lo lees solo, estas solo, Fun book! Offers GREAT ideas for thinks kids/teens/anyone can do! I love any book that promotes activities away from the TV, and this one does just that with excitement and enthusiasm
Some of my favorites are :
ways to confuse your brain
how to walk through a post card cutting it a certain way
do aminute show with a blade of grass
make a boomerang actually come back
make a survival kit in a tin
grow an orange tree from a seed
defend yourself with only an umbrella
play an accordion
proper way to build a campfire
and a whole section on practical jokes!!
I'd recommend it for older boys.
with sections about "how to judge a women's bra size at a glance", its i bit better suited for older boys.
Has some interesting thoughts and ideas, but certainly not a bestseller So I bought this book from the Wireless or similar catalog one Christmas, thinking it might be good for the youngeryear old boys in my life.
Not so. This is a book for adults, What surprised me was how hysterically funny it was, I laughed out loud, often uncontrollably and unable to breathe, at the author's excellent sense of humor.
I say excellent because it is almost identical to mine,
The book is full of "how to" instructions for a ridiculously wide variety of tasks, from magic tricks to cooking manly recipes, to laying bricks properly, to Morse Code and Semaphore.
The instructions are understandable and oriented towards making fun of instructions in general, and some of the activities in specific.
I started by reading just one shortpage chapter per day along with my many other daily reading books, but quickly became fascinated and began reading more quickly, saving myselfdays!
Quote from the section on Cooking for Guests While Your Kitchen is Being Repaired "it happens to all of us":
"Put your white wine into the toilet tank to chill leave it in the bottle, obviously: you don't want to be flushing every time someone asks for a glass of Chablis.
"
My guess is that men will find this book much funnier than women this is intended as a general compliment to the female gender.
For men, if you like to laugh, learn, broadly expand your trivial skill set, and laugh some more, this is a great book.
Bored Have nothing to do Well this book is for you, How to trick your brain,
fun magic tricks, how to build telescopes and much, much more.
This book has been on my bookshelf for a while now and i am so glad i finally read it.
It is full of some amazing little things for you to try out by yourself or with friends.
I would highly recommend this book! The essential lifeskills handbook for bright boys of every age, featuring all those things they didn't teach you at school or Boy Scouts.
If you reached adulthood without learning the exact rules of conkers or how to take your pants off without removing your trousers, this is the book you've been waiting for.
Divided into handy sections, this fascinating volume contains easytofollow tutorials and priceless tips, including:
How to Be a Real Man: how to mow the perfect lawn and how to tell if a girl fancies you
Bracing Outdoor Activities: cowboy ropecraft, how to punt and how to make a boomerang come back
Militant Cookery: how to make your own pickled eggs and how to spitroast and dress a suckling pig
Parlour Diversions: shadow portraits, easy tunes for the glass harmonica, and classic and new party pieces and gags.
This book won't improve your morals or make you smell nice, but it will entertain and inform.
misleading title: the author admits on page xvii that it is for ages between aboutand, which is irritating if you bought this book for a younger person, such as the one pictured on the cover.
If you are not familiar with British slang some of the language will be obscure:
“how to take your pants off without removing your trousers” is nonsense to a North American for whom pants and trousers are the same thing.
How can pants and underpants be the same thing British logic,
gravyhouse restaurant Berk Gormless Nosebag this is just to page,
Gags needing cigarettes are not hard to do p, xix because governments banned the practice of poisoning the air we share, but because most smokers over the age ofhave realized that it is idiotic to remain addicted to something that poisons you and those around you while ruining the taste of food and drink, so have quit.
How to tell how a girl fancies you p,is a disturbing invitation to sexual harassment,
I found bits of it funny, but I skimmed over a lot that did not interest me.
Things a Bright Boy Can Do by Tom CutlerA rather silly compendium of tricks, jokes, "magic" tricks and goofball ways to waste time, all very cleverly written, often amusing, even when downright silly if not stupid.
It begins with practical advice on how to do manly things, like use a watch as a compass, how to tell "when a girl fancies you," how to lay bricks, or milk a cow, or judge a woman's bra size at a glance.
Then Cutler explains how to do dopey tricks, like how to lift a man overhead with one arm, or how to walk across hot coals or tear a phone book in half.
And then he gets really silly: how to make a pair of trousers using pub beer towels Cutler's a Brit, and so much of his lingo is Britspeak, how to make a paper hat or your own barometer.
Read as bedtime reading, for which it was perfect: short entries on a variety of subjects, written in cleverness and sense of graceful style, being totally straightfaced as he describes the dopiest stuff.
I will remember little except that it was a fun book for how I read it.
Now it goes into a little library to amuse someone else/ De la bonne idée à la farce douteuse.
tout n'est pas drôle, utile ou intéressant Another of the 'dipping' books which constitutes most of my reading at the moment.
This book is described as a manual for those things that you didn't learn at school or Boy Scouts.
. .
Presented in little, one or two page sections this book offers guides on how to roast a suckling pig hmmm, useful for someone thats been a vegetarian for more thanyears!!, pub magic, drinking games and the like.
A good example of its type, though I don't think I'm tempted to reproduce much that I found in there.
