Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Tony 10 was the online betting username of Tony O'Reilly, the postman who became front-page news in 2011 after he stole 1.75 million from An Post while he was a branch manager in Gorey. He used the money to fund a gambling addiction that began with a bet of 1 and eventually rose to 10 million, leading to the loss of his job, his family, his home - and winning him a prison sentence. From the heart-stopping moments in a hotel room in Cyprus with his wedding money riding on the Epsom Derby, to the euphoria of winning half a million over a weekend, to the late goals and the horses falling at the last fence, Tony 10 is the story of an ordinary man's journey from normality to catastrophe. At times, he vowed to get out while he was ahead, only to be taken by another surge of adrenaline, falling deeper and deeper into a compulsion that consumed his life. His disappearance on the morning the fraud was discovered led to a surreal three days on the run in Northern Ireland, and ultimately his arrest, conviction and sentencing to four years in jail. Tony 10 is a mesmerising story of the secret life of a pathological gambler - as well as the most compelling account yet of the damage wrought by the online gambling industry. 'As hair-raising as the downfall reads, O'Reilly's story grips to the end as a context of humanity replaces the sweat-browed hijinks.' Hilary A White, The Sunday Independent 'This is a spine-tingling tale, beautifully told, and at the end of the rollercoaster ride there's even a happy ending.' Damian Corless, The Irish Independent 'A brilliant, nerve-shredding account of one man's gambling addiction - and every word of it true. Would highly recommend it.' Paul Howard 'Shocking, hugely readable and deeply important' The Irish Examiner 'Remarkable story' The Sunday World 'A fascinating story' Daithi O Se 'A startling illustration of the silent devastation that gambling can inflict' The Racing Post Tony 10 is easily one of the best non-fiction books of the year Hot Press A fascinating and often incredible read Barry Glendenning The Guardian.

Paperback. Etat : New. Combining the razor-sharp wit of writer Declan Lynch with illustrations and contributions from Father Ted co-creator Arthur Mathews.Since Declan Lynch and Arthur Mathews first shone a light into this darkest corner of the darkest living room in all of Ireland over a decade ago, things have actually got worse for that almost-forgotten species we call the Poor Ould Fellas - impossible though it seems.Further confined to their unhappy dwelling places by the drink-driving laws, a new range of challenges have emerged to torment them in a baffling post-analog world, where emails seek to release them from the few remaining shillings that weren't stolen by bankers during the crash.Now they must negotiate a universe full of new words (falafel, bitcoin, Spotify) and concepts (texting, sexting, going away for the weekend, composing a tweet, growing a beard, online banking) that mean absolutely nothing to them. Notes from a Lost Tribe is a hilarious road map through a world of forgotten men and their equally forgotten dogs, who ask for so little - yet it is denied them.And still . somehow . inexplicably . they go on.
