When pensioner Dot wins the lottery, her newfound friend Max helps her make a bucket list of all the things she's always wanted to do but never had the chance. Bucket List is a humorous feel-good, life-affirming novel about the power of friendship, community and lemon drizzle cake.

Russell Jones is a living example of what is possible in physical fitness and wellness. At 68 years old he looks and feels better than people half his age. This book was created to help offer a solution to the many people who live their day to day lives feeling sick and tired and are ready to make some changes and live their best life in the only body they'll ever have. I'm Sick & Tired of: 1. America being obese & overweight (as a kid growing up 15 people could fit in an elevator, now only 3).2. my friends & family dying way too young. 3. people coming to me injured, sick & out of shape to tell me everything they know about health.4. lazy, out-of-touch doctors who would rather write a prescription than offer sound guidance on how to eat and exercise. 5. the fitness industry preying on people who need real help.6. hearing people blame their genetics for their health woes when the truth is that it's their lifestyle. 7. finicky eaters of all ages.8. how physically weak America has become. 9. erectile dysfunction commercials.10. people who tell me how many steps they took today. 11. 20 year old fitness gurus.12. those who tell me how their doctor told them how fit they are but that they have to stay on 3 LifeTime medications. 13. the 2 major obstacles to everyone's health... mis-information & habits.14. health experts who either look anything but healthy or are on a PED needle (performance enhancing drugs). 15. yoga classes filled with uncontrollable gas. If all the world became vegetarians, it would be people emitting vast quantities of methane gas replacing cows as #1.16. everyone being braced- ankles, knees, backs, elbows, wrists, necks. Braces can hold you up BUT eventually they hold you back. 17. of desperate people signing up for the 'quick fix'- gastric bypass, gastric sleeves, vitamins, magic potions and 'lose weight quick' scams.18. people being tired with no energy or vitality & not knowing what to do about it. 19. hearing how people can't get a deep sleep without drugs. Note: sleep is as important as diet and exercise.20. folks not being able to 'live the life' they desperately want to live. 21. hearing people complain of back & neck pain with their only solution being drugs.22. folks wasting money on bogus exercise equipment. 23. the food industry and how government approves of health-killing 'foods' to eat (follow the money).24. the fight-cancer industry(follow the money) 25. parents & grandparents unable to participate in energetic activities with their families.26. people thinking it's normal to be abnormal and saying 'it's just the way I am'. I try not to offend anyone. But if I do, it's with Love in my Heart.

The performance of the British economy over the past fifty-odd years does not make for comforting reading. Indeed, the story is a depressing catalogue of misapprehensions, missteps, wasted opportunities, crises and humiliations, with all-too-familiar problems arising time and again and yet never being satisfactorily addressed. All nations and their economic policymakers are to a certain extent prisoners of their history, but this seems to apply more to the UK than to other countries. Nostalgia for the great days of the past has become tyrannical - and is in some sense embodied in the form of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's famous 'budget box', made for William Gladstone in the 1850s and only passed over to a museum in 2010. Nostalgia has led to wishful thinking, and this has been the underlying sentiment driving poorly thought through - sometimes even panicky - initiatives that were blindly borrowed from elsewhere, that flew in the face of experience, or that were drawn from theoretical and political extremes. This book describes and interprets the economic and political history of the past half a century, examining the challenges confronted by successive governments and their Chancellors, the policies employed for good or ill, and - running through it all - the desperate search for a panacea that could arrest the nation's relative decline and return the country to its supposed former glories.

Economists and bankers have long been much maligned individuals, but never more so than in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Working as an economist for various financial institutions for more than twenty-five years Russell Jones had a foot in both camps. He plied his trade in a number of global financial centres - including London, Tokyo, Sydney, New York and Abu Dhabi - experiencing at first hand the extraordinary ebb and flow of an industry that came to exert a disproportionate influence on the lives of almost everyone on the planet. This is the story of his journey.
