Thursday’s Child is a warts and all tale which places a Black Country lad under the microscope and we discover how he achieved success - including becoming Sir Richard Branson’s business partner for over twenty years!

It is a remarkable story of one man’s journey from a poor council house to the dizzy heights of success. If you are not crying at Mike Kendrick’s suffering - you will be laughing at his expense.

Kendrick took up the dangerous and unpredictable sport of hot air ballooning – because he was terrified of heights. Placing himself in almost impossible situations, just for the thrill of the ride and to push himself to the extreme and beyond!

We experience his often shameful and promiscuous life in club land. His obsession with aviation and his discovery of true love. How fortunes were made and lost and his life hanging in the balance as one crash followed another.

Since 2000 Mike has been chief executive of The Mineseeker Foundation. It was the late Princess Diana who first planted the idea of setting up a charitable company that tried to combat the possible 70 million mines in the world that lay undetected.

About the Author

Mike Kendrick started his career as a fruit machine mechanic, before moving on to impresario work at a huge midlands theatre; during the ‘swinging sixties’ - where he took full advantage of the lifestyle before settling with a PR agency.

His talent as a showman led him into the elitist sport of competitive hot air ballooning, which brought about a long business partnership with Sir Richard Branson. Mike’s adventurous exploits took him to the four corners of the globe.

Simple, durable, and a great buy for active dogs. 🐕🎾
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
These are exactly what I look for in a simple dog toy. The balls are made from a durable rubber material that feels sturdy enough for regular play, while still having enough give to be safe and comfortable for dogs to carry in their mouths. They bounce well, are easy to throw, and have held up nicely during play sessions. I also like the bright colors. The orange, blue, and yellow make them easy to spot in grass, at the park, or in the backyard, which means less time searching and more time playing. The textured surface gives dogs something easy to grip, and the size works well for medium to larger dogs. They feel much more substantial than the bargain-bin tennis balls that seem to fall apart after a few outings. Perhaps the best part is the value. For the price, getting three durable rubber balls is a great deal. Dog toys can get expensive quickly, and this set provides a lot of entertainment without costing much. Overall, these are durable, colorful, fun, and appear safe for everyday play. Combined with the very reasonable price point, they represent an excellent value for dog owners.

Really rough and tough and able to endure some pretty gnarly chewing!
Size: 3 PCS
These are some really stout, durable, tuff balls that are designed to endure some pretty rough chewers! They don't have the best bounce capability. If you throw one down onto pavement, it's not going to bounce back to you the same way a tennis ball would. It's probably got about half the comeback as a tennis ball, so to get the same return you would have to throw it about twice as hard as you would a tennis ball. But the balls were not designed to bounce around, they were designed to throw to your dog and play fetch and be able to endure some pretty rough gnawing and chewing while your dog is returning the ball to you. I have a 30 lb westie, and these balls are pretty much the perfect size for his medium size chomper. He is able to pick the ball up and carry it around with great ease, he is able to catch it in the air with no problem. Now my little 12 lb chihuahua is not able to carry the ball around, his mouth is just too small too be able to pick the ball up. In my opinion the asking price for these balls is really fair and reasonable! I would absolutely recommend this product to my friends and family!!

Nice quality balls for heavy chewers that are easy to clean
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
Nice quality heavy duty balls for strong chewers. I love that these don't have those holes in them that so many balls do that collect grossness and dirt. These are solid and easy to clean. My 9 week old puppy can pick them up and carry them around from the side of her mouth. But the next door 5 year old Labrador is obsessed with them. But then again he is obsessed with balls in general. I just like that these seem to hold less gunk than the others we give him to play with frequently. And they seem to have help up to his chewing just fine. They are reasonably priced for a set of 3 and the colors are nice and visible in the grass which is important. I would be careful to pick them up before mowing the lawn because these are solid and somewhat heavy and I could definitely see a mower just slinging them through a window or off your siding. Overall a nice set of balls that are easy for a human to throw and fit the hand comfortably. They are easy to clean and they are apparently appreciated by the local retrieval expert next door.

Finally, a Ball Our Aggressive Chewer Loves and Hasn’t Destroyed Instantly!
Size: 3 PCS
We’ve gone through more dog toys than I care to admit, because our dog treats them like a personal demolition project! Since she’s a very aggressive chewer, I usually don’t expect toys to last long, so these balls were a really pleasant surprise. They were an instant hit for fetch, chase, and chew time. I love that they have a nice bounce that keeps playtime fun and unpredictable, and the bright colors make them easy to spot in the yard instead of disappearing into the grass. Best of all, they’ve held up far better than many other dog toys we’ve tried. Normally I’m cleaning up shredded toy remains within minutes, but these have proven to be much tougher. Of course, no toy is truly indestructible with a determined chewer, but these have definitely impressed me and earned their place in our toy rotation. If you have a dog that loves interactive play and tends to destroy toys at record speed, these are absolutely worth trying. Easy 5 stars from our house!
