This little book is dedicated to those who are not very good at the waiting game. Be it at an airport, because the plane is delayed or cancelled, the station because of a train strike or in a waiting room where old thumbed magazines extol the glories of some rising star or downfall of a politician, both long since dead, this collection is to help you "pass the time" in surroundings which are either unfamiliar to you or when curled up on the sofa at home on one of those rare occasions when you have time to kill.
