The unique history of The Micks – the Irish Guards – is chronicled in over 1000 images, starting with their formation in 1900 and taking the reader through to the recent war in Afghanistan. It is the story of a remarkable family regiment that continues to enhance the values, standards and reputation of the British infantry in an ever-changing world. The two world wars are covered in detail with dramatic pictures. The First World War – the brick stacks at Cuinchy under fire, where O’Leary won his VC – and the Second World War – the inferno of the transport ship Chobry off the coast of Norway and the first ever German King Tiger tank seen in action brought to a halt by the Irish Guards without firing a shot. More recently, the Micks were involved in internal security duties in Palestine, Cyprus, Malaya, Aden, Northern Ireland and the Balkans. They led the way into Iraq in the Second Gulf War and shed blood in Afghanistan. The book shows the development of regimental soldiering from the rigidity of the Victorian era, through the horrors of the trenches to armoured warfare in Europe and light infantry soldiering worldwide – all the time upholding the finest traditions of the Foot Guards. In an army that prides itself on the strength of the regimental system, the Irish Guards have created a distinctive and enduring ethos of their own. This is not just a cold regimental history but has been compiled to show the Micks’ ability to find humour even in the most adverse conditions while demonstrating excellence at both operational and ceremonial soldiering. It also contains, in an extensive set of appendices, a remarkable record of facts about the regiment – the people, places and events in the history of the Irish Guards – which will serve as an invaluable source of information for future generations.

Readers who never served in the Irish Guards and have little idea what went on behind barrack walls, may find some of the terms used and the events and the incidents they describe a little strange. But they will surely recognise the strand that runs through all the contributions with our Motto ‘QUIS SEPARABIT’ (Who shall separate us). The meaning of those words are something valuable. Let us share with you the experiences we had that are part of who we are now.

At age sixteen, Bill German began publishing a Rolling Stones fanzine out of his bedroom in Brooklyn. And when he presented an issue to the band on a street in New York, he obviously made an impression: before he knew it, the Stones had hired him to document their career, inviting him in to the studio and to their private jam sessions. He traveled the world with them, stayed at their homes, and, for almost two decades, witnessed their wild parties and nasty feuds. Yet through it all, he never lost his identity as that “nice boy from Brooklyn.” Under Their Thumb is a fish-out-of-water tale about a fan who wanted to know everything about his favorite rock group—and suddenly learned too much. This updated edition, published to mark the Stones’ sixtieth anniversary, features forty new pages of text and more than thirty never-before-seen photos.

“Look, Mick,” he said, “you’re going to find out from somebody in the gym, so you might as well find out from me. Those supplements you’re taking? They might get you a little bigger, but just a little. If you’re after serious results, there’s other stuff that produces better results much faster, stuff that a lot of guys in the gym use.” “What other stuff?” “You know what I’m talking about—gym candy.” Runningback Mick Johnson has dreams: dreams of cutting back, finding the hole, breaking into the open, and running free with nothing but green grass ahead. He has dreams of winning and of being the best. But football is a cruel sport. It requires power, grace, speed, quickness, and knowledge of the game. It takes luck, too. One crazy bounce can turn a likely victory into sudden defeat. What elite athlete wouldn’t look for an edge? A way to make him bigger, stronger, faster? This novel explores the dark corners of the heart of a young football player as he struggles for success under the always glaring—and often unforgiving—stadium lights.

Jakob was turning into a very bad boy and a drunk like his father was! One day when he came home quite late and had had half a bottle of vodka and smoked some dodgy stuff, he found his dad being very aggressive with his mum, he got in the way and his dad punched him in the mouth, Jakob went to the floor in shock, his mother screamed, the father slapped his mother across the face and she fell to the floor, his father picked up a horse riding whip and came towards Jakob, the mother got up trying to protect Jakob and was thrown across the room by his father, Jakob could take no more of this and got up quickly, he dodged his father as he swiped at him with the whip, Jacob pushed him as hard as he could and his father fell backwards, Jakob went to his mother, she was knocked out and not moving, there was a crashing noise behind Jakob, he turned round and saw the main balcony window wide open and broken, he looked back at his mother, someone screamed from outside!

Jakob stood on the balcony and just stared at his father laying on the cobbled stones, He looked back at his mother and shook his head, His mother got herself up and went to the balcony, she saw her husband on the ground and screamed too! Jacob’s mother started to slap Jakob hysterically, She was swearing at him and out of control, Jakob lashed out and pushed her away, She fell against the balcony rail, it fell away and his mother fell through it, Jacob tried to grab her but it was too late, he watched her fall to the ground below, Another scream was heard!

Two police officers got out of their vehicle and ran towards the floor, they tried to sort out the now angry crowd that was there, An ambulance turned up, The police officers looked up at Jakob and told him to stay where he was, they made their way into the building. Jakob panicked and went back into the lounge, He didn’t know what to do, There was a pounding at the door!
