                    Since some of the best illustrations are what not to do, I offer a few tips on How to Turn a Disagreement into a Feud:
1. Be sure to develop and maintain a fear of conflict, letting your own feelings build up so you are in an explosive frame of mind.
2. If you must state your concerns, be as vague

                    HEROIC FAILURE
The Book of Heroic Failures, was written by Stephen Pile in 1979. It is a book written in celebration of human inadequacy in all its forms.
My favourite story took part in 1978. During the fireman’s strike in England, the British army took over emergency fire-fighting and drove the

                    LESSONS OF FAILURE
