Comedy Johnnie Mortimer &amp; Brian Cooke Characters: 2 male, 4 female Interior Set Based on a very popular British sit com, this riotously funny play is classic British sex farce. When Mildred and Ethel go off on a trip to Paris, the "mice will play". Egged on by Ethel's philandering husband Humphrey Pomfrey, George agrees to invite two charming little sex kittens over. Well, you know already what happens, don't you the wives come home prematurely. 
"The audience screamed with laughter as the farcical comedy events unfolded. The plot is simple and slight risque with machine gun quick repartee. Unbridled laughter, by the theatre load." -Brisbane Telegraph 
"An amusing evening." -The Middlesex Chronicle

Messrs. Mortimer and Cooke, the top writers of British television “sitcoms,” have turned their delightful senses of humor loose on the stage. This live sitcom is about two authors of sitcoms who are stuck for a new idea. By a neatly contrived accident, each man finds himself getting drunk with the wrong wife. Macho man Charles Summerskill winds up with a hopelessly undomestic sexpot, who is so inept in the kitchen that she burns salad; whereas wimpy Arthur Grey finds himself with a prim and proper expert chef. Charles ends up with a buxom blond and indigestion; Arthur is eating well but is, well, sexually frustrated. Eventually, work forces Charles and Arthur together again, and they decide to create a new show based on the recent upheavals in their private lives.

During the Crimean War the British were struggling to supply troops at the siege of Sevastopol, leaving the freezing men without sufficient food, ammunition or medical care. Remarkably, an independent contractor offered to build a railway to relieve the problem, and using an imported civilian workforce had the line running in a matter of weeks. This book recounts the story of the undertaking and the crucial part it played in the course of the war.

Construction Management is a wide ranging discipline, but ultimately it is a demanding, hands-on discipline concerned with the management of people, plant and materials, all mobilised to complete a building project safely, on time, on budget and to the client’s satisfaction. Management of Construction Projects is a highly illustrated series of case studies based on seven live construction management projects, demonstrating the very practical nature of managing projects. The detailed case studies cover a variety of construction projects, varying in value from £1million to £117 million, including a major inner city office block, a portal framed factory unit, a university refurbishment project, a superstore &amp; car park and a new school building. The case studies emphasise detailed on site management procedures and identify a predominantly functional approach to managing projects. A number of related chapters covering practical and theoretical aspects of construction management support and illustrate the individual case studies. With a strong emphasis on the practical nature of the subject, Management of Construction Projects is an ideal introduction to the subject for all students on construction and related degree and diploma programmes. It will be of particular interest to students preparing for the CIOB EPA programme and the new NVQ courses at level 4 and 5 in construction management.
